Celebrating Pride Month: What "Love Triangles" Would be Best Served by Becoming Polyamory?

The girls from Totally spies?

Would have preffered if Bashir had just never ended up with Ezri leaving the way open for Garak. I always felt that was one of the more awkward parts of the end of the show in that it felt like they wanted to let Bashir finally have a Dax as a reward after pining after her so long. Certainly no Niles/Daphne in execution.

Fair point

Kira, Miles O'Brian, and Keiko.

Kira, Miles O'Brian, and Keiko.

Miles would never agree to it. It would severely cut down on his bro time with Julian.

Plus there's that ep where Miles freaked out over Keiko just discussing their relationship with a bajoran co-worker. Not seeing as someone being able to get over the potential jealousy issues easily.

How about Kim, Paris, and Torres. Then I'm not sure I'd want to do that to Tom. He has a wife who barely seems to like him a lot of the time and adding the romantic trainwreck that is poor dumb Harry on top of that seems unlikely to go smoothly. Might be entertaining to observe, but only from a safe distance.

But of course that is why in real life there are very few polyandrous relationships that go beyond ''just for sex'' levels. Human beings just aren't wired for it - there will always be ''she's got bigger tits than me, he's got a bigger dong than me, she's showing him more attention'' etc. That is perhaps why you have no ''two men, one women'' examples because you know that most men just wouldn't allow their woman to be ploughed by another guy.

Have you got any research to back up that assertion?

Yep. Its called ''i'm a human being who has been in relationships with human beings, has met other human beings, was born by a human being and has interacted with other human beings.''

Well if we're going entirely by anecdotal evidence here, I've been in multiple polyamorous relationships and have not been jealous around the other guys involved. Jeesh man.

Actual long term relationships of a year or more?

I feel this is getting personal here.

Yes. My second-longest relationship was with somebody who had a husband and we got along just fine.

I have to admit I like the dramatic potential there.

Catwoman/Batman/Talia al Ghul just because I don't think Catwoman expects fidelity and has commitment issues. Talia has her own career of assassin ninjas.

I think Starfire/Dick/Arsenal would be very good.

Jean Grey/Cyclops/Wolverine is presently canon in Krakoa but I'm 90% sure that's going to be revealed to be mind-control influence by Insane Xavier. Add Emma Frost for Cyclops/Emma/Jean.

Nico/Karolina/Xavin/Victor with all of them just kind of enjoying it.

I'm pretty sure Dante is with Trish and Lady both, even with the fact Trish resembles his mom.

Reed Richards should just accept Sue will go off to sleep with Namor on a regular basis.
