i know it sounds a little crazy, but if all three are friends for years and none are prone to jealous rages? Two are married for ten years and the third has been around for the past three. do you think that there is anything wrong with this. (it certainly keeps things interesting)

is it morally wrong?

You're talking about a poly triad or poly hinge relationship (in a triad, all three partners are romantically or sexually involved with each other, while in a hinge two partners are invovled with the third, but not with each other).
I've been in these kinds of relationships before - they can work out but just because of the increase in complexity, they are harder to maintain. I'm currently in a domestic partnership with one member of a former hinge relationship (in which I was the hinge). We often have outside encounters, but we're not looking for any other permanent partners.

Of course it can, but it takes more work making sure that everyone's emotional needs and what not are met in a polyamorous relationship than a regular one. There are many sites online that can help you deal with this situation. All you have to do is do a search on the term, polyamory . Polyamory is basically defined as a loving relationship with more than two people...it is NOT the same as polygamy which is an illegal marriage consisting of three or more people.

I know for a fact it can. A very good friend of mine, being bisexual, entered into a commited relationship with a guy, then five years later, they introduced another woman. It's not a case a man with two wives, it's a Woman with a wife and husband. She was and is the head of the household. That relationship has been going strong for almost 20 years.

No. Not for either of the women, unless their muslims with low self-esteem.
I mean, how unfair is that? The guy gets two for the price of one and the girl knows he doesnt love her and is basically openly two-timing her. How can anyone be intimate knowing that?
Not in a real relationship anyway. Some people have self respect

My personal opinion is what makes a relationship works is the one knows to who give all the attention in the same way the other . I mean if you have just one partner you know where your attention, your loyalty, your love, everything goes to. But if you mess up having another one, how can you equalize the affections?

Yes, it can work. I've seen it happen. However, they often fail, and it takes lots of love and dedication and commitment and maturity on everyone's part.
Is it wrong? What works for you and doesn't hurt anybody else is what's right, at least in my book. Personally, I don't think it's wrong, just fraught with peril.
Hope that helps.

I say go for it. You never know, it could work. As long as everyone involved is of age and all that stuff I don't see why you shouldn't do what you want to do.

I don't think any relationship that exceeds two people would work. Someone would always feel that they are not getting equal treament.

If it involves older mature women I think it will work. It
