Hypocrisy a Trois?

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.

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.

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.

methinks you're too nice ;)

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