A Dating App for Three, Plus

I have no objection to any of these iterations being whatever they are. But all these labels sound downright silly.

I'm young, techincally single, adult who lives with a married couple. We're I guess all romantically involved? We all say "I love you" and sleep in the same King bed (with a dog, there's nothing sexual going on when most nights there's a wet nose and waggy tail in the middle/across everybody's feet). That being said it's more about the economics of it all then anything else. Three incomes has been a literal miracle for quality of life. I couldn't make it alone on 27,000$ a year -- I have a master's degree and work as an adjunct for a small liberal arts university -- but 27,000$ a year added to two more incomes... We might actually be able to afford a vacation a year and to fix the roof and eat 'healthy' food as opposed to "we can make this 7.99 pizza last all three of us two meals because last year we paid 21,000$ in medical costs." Some days it's tough. Polyamory, sexual or romantic, isn't for everybody. But for us it's absolutely been the difference between eeking out a living working full time at 'adult jobs' and yet still eating ramen (or in my case end of the day left over cafeteria food) and having something close to a decent lifestyle. Give it a few years and I think you'll see more people in their late 20s and early 30s adding a third person. Some for the sex, but most because it's really REALLY hard to have a 'good life' on two low wage jobs, but adding a third income, well, it feels like we MIGHT have a CHANCE at having a middle class life.

Thanks for posting this. Finally we are starting to tell the truth about our real lived lives!
