People: if you haven’t heard the term ‘throuple’ before, then strap on your figurative seatbelts on and get ready to learn.
It seemed like your ordinary love story.
Matt met Chris. Matt and Chris fell in love. Matt and Chris put a ring on it and became Mr and Mr Brandt.
They were living together, married for six years, and the rest could have been history.
Until Chris suggested they add another person to their monogamous relationship. And it wasn’t a man.
Instead, it was Cait, a 28-year-old woman who had just come out of a serious, five-year relationship with another man.
Introducing: the throuple.

What do you expect from an unnatural relationship as this? I just hope don't bring a poor little baby into it all.
This is not a poly relationship. I am in a poly relationship. This is two people falling in love and deciding to be together despite one of them already having a partner, and trying to convince the partner to go along with it rather than doing the decent thing and leaving. And Matt is clearly gay and has zero interest in his boyfriend's girlfriend. I bet anything Matt and Cait don't have sex or spend time one-on-one. Chris should just have an open relationship and date both of them separately, not try to force his partners to date each other!
Exactly! I am in a poly as well, and I had the same reaction. I've seen them on several interviews. It's clear Matt is going along with it to appease Chris. But Matt should think about what it means when Chris tells him he loves Cait as much as he loves him. He's know Matt 8 years and Cait 5 minutes. Really? A lot of this is about Chris' narcissism and being the center of things, Matt and Cait fighting over him. This will end horribly and Matt will be hurt the most and Cait as well. Two bi guys and a female will work, but not a bi, female and gay. Each person in my poly loves the other two equally, and that's why it works.
