Looking for ideas on how to create closer bonds as a full unit within a thrupple dynamic. We connect individually mostly, because it’s really hard to coordinate time for all three of us, but we do it when we can. We keep a group chat going to keep from feeling disconnected as a whole. But I just wish there were more we could do to solidify our involvement as a new(ish) triad while we try to navigate this relationship alongside our respective individual connections and just the busyness of life.

Also, background if it’s relevant to suggestions. We’re a mff unit, myself and the male have been seeing each other for 5 months, the other female entered the scene about 3 months ago and this wasn’t a sought out “thing.” It’s just something that happened organically and has been going really well thus far. I’d like to make it better and stronger, because it feels rare and worth nurturing.

Edited to add: I’ve seen again and again how the poly community looks down upon the existence of triads and tends to be super negative about it in general, but to each their own. We’re cultivating something that feels very special (based on lived experiences), so respectfully, we are all adults and aware of the challenges that may present themselves yet agree that what we’re doing feels right for us atm. No one is getting married, moving in together, or starting a family, and for the most part we’ve “been there, done that.” This is about feel good genuine connection happening between three people right at this moment. If you’re not offering the advice I asked for, then please just keep scrolling 🫶🏼
