Hypocrisy a Trois?

[emanix]

I really have no idea where to start with commenting on this article on triad relationships versus sensible poly- anyone care to start?

And here I was thinking you were having a last minute wobble about the three of us living together... :) Nice to see you're just annoyed at stupid people.

Are we a triad? I guess we are... hadn't really thought about it since it's going to be a five person house and I have a Lex, and so on.

Yay for house of joy!

[misterfallen]

Not so much that. Ménage means household. I don't see us as a triad...

And it made sense before you renamed the entry.

[emanix]

Does that mean it doesn't make sense now?

I just find it ridiculous that the authors comments can be read as saying 'cheating and deception are okay, if you can pretend the other person really knows about it' and/or non-monogamy is okay, but you have to pretend it isn't really happening.

Grr.

[misterfallen]

Well, no less sense than I normally make. :)

I get the impression he's only got comparitive experience of monogamy. His idea that you shouldn't talk about it probably comes from not expecting it to be possible.

[emanix]

methinks you're too nice ;)

[misterfallen]

I think a vast number of people would disagree with you on that one...
