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!

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

And it made sense before you renamed the entry.

Hmmm...just finished reading the article now. Looks like the guy is glamorizing things more than a little. 'oh look, all these famous people have experimented with troilism. Surely it is good, and surely engaging in it will make me great and famous too!'

Is it just me, or is it rather amusing that there are four of them asking us to join in their ménage a trois?

LOL

Coincidentally I saw and read that article earlier today, and the plan was to show it to you and ask for your opinion, but I guess there's no need for that anymore...

Maybe I've just been in too many 'hot topic' communities all through my life, but this is about what I'd expect from any mainstream media on any topic - namely deliberately aiming an impression at the uninformed reader that everything to do with the subject is just as they describe ...

Hello Holly! :)

I'm not sure what you mean by that... I guess every person will present things from inside their own world view, but the complete failure to see that there is any other possible way forward, that bugs me. Not to mention the twin suggestions that 'conflict is good' and 'equality is bad'. Ugh.
