TimmD agony auntIn most societies, especially the US... a three person relationship will never work for an extended period of time. No matter what one of the 3 will always want more and jealousy or fear of commitment will start.

Can you give us some more details on your situation? We may be able to help you a little better.

Frank B Kermit agony auntIt depends WHY you feel uncomfortable...is it because you all live together? Are you the one dating the couple? Are you part of the couple that is dating a third person? Is it only sexual, or is there an emotional connection? Have there been any boundary issues? Is it that it is just new and you feel how society may not be accepting? Are you struggling with your own sexual orientation?

Without more info, it is hard to advise. What I can offer you is to go to my website and listen to free interviews I did with swingers, poly families (including one with a three person relationship), and people with a variety of sexual orientations. The site is

I also authored a 4 CD set seminar on Alternative Relationship Choices for people in your situation and you can listen to the free previews at my website as well on the product page.

Yes, there all people in a variety of relationship structures and most do it in secret. It is about figuring out your boundaries and balancing that with your partner(s) needs and your needs. It is not for everyone, it takes work, and for those who thrive in open relationships, it can be great for them.

Miamine agony auntDon't know if your with two men or with a man and another girl, but first you should all be comfortable to live like this and you should all be friendly.

Then taking the words of the Koran (Muslims can marry more than once) Each partner should be treated totally equally, nobody should be left out. If you are not getting your share of money, time, love, attention, sex, whatever, then you have every right to complain. Treat your partners equally, try to love them both the same, and demand the same respect for yourself.

Laura1318 agony auntTwo is a company and three is a crowd.

You can make it work if you or the other one is more submissive and agree with what is thrown at you .

If you are willing to accept only half a man and agree with the other one to share the man.

I am assuming it is a MFF 3some.
