Love triangle is different, and usually context is competitive non-dating and usually in a monogamous context.
A “love triangle” is different from a “triangle”.
A love triangle is what we see in movies from Hollywood, most commonly with two guys fighting over winning a girl or something.
A triangle, when it comes to ENM, is when all three people sleep together.
Whereas a triad (ENM term, again) would could be like three people (persons A, B, and C), all living alone. Look at the arrows in the picture, those are the relationships. A and B are in a relationship, but all three are not in a relationship.
The way to think about it is, with three people in a triad, there are only three relationships. With a triangle (or another shape where everybody’s in a relationship, like a quad) you add an extra relationship count for the group itself. So for a triangle (or whatever people want to call it if they want to differentiate) where it is threesomes and they all travel as a pack, there are four relationships: each couple and the group itself.
And to make it more complicated, the shapes aren’t necessarily closed: some or all of them can have other relationships, sometimes even differenttypes, too. Like three people living and in a group relationship, and person A is simultaneously in a different trianlge or triad, and person C might have basically just a fuck buddy, or even just a cuddle partner, like if that cuddle partner has really really similar high compatibility emotionally but not sexually.
ENM is great.
Edit: Remember, for it to be ethical (the E in ENM), everybody has to be informed and give explicit consent. And anytime a change is made, you really should renegotiate the entire setup. Communication is everything. It’s much better to over communicate than under communicate, because we live in a world where monogamy and monogamy’s RULES are the assumed expectations in agreements.
My partners and I generally will schedule weekly RADAR check ins, and as time goes on, reduce how often we do them as needed.
A parent and son are being paid to house and engage in a sexual/romantic relationship with the same person. If you don’t think that’s fucked up, well, that’s also fucked up.
And who uses theirs the best?
Do they each know that you’re dating the other one?
Yeah, it’s a Vee. Plus, we all live in the same house.
Wait, what’s the difference between a triad and a triangle?
Number of simultaneous participants.
Is this saying a love triangle is a threesome? I’ve literally never heard the term love triangle describe a threesome

That’s a lot of labels and definitions
Btw, if Colloidal is harassing you, you should absolutely report them
All the attention for you
That’s fucked up.
Everyone is a consenting adult, everything is above board, and nobody’s feelings are getting bent. Why you gotta yuck someone else’s yum?

Stop gatekeeping other people’s lives
No.
