No, you cannot join us.



Two points to make tonight:


#1 Just because we are a "threesome" and you know it, doesn't mean we are open to "fun" with you. No, you cannot join us. I know it may make you feel less inhibited to be around us because of what you think we are and what we do, but, um no. We do appreciate being "out" to some friends and recognized for what we are by some perceptive strangers, and the notoriety is new to us, but, well, no. We are devoted to each other, and without these particular three individuals, two girls and a guy, there would be no Trifecta. None of us is replaceable, none of us is available, and we don't want to include you in any of our reindeer games. Sorry.


#2 We are in a three-person relationship. We sometimes experience emotions, feelings and sensations rather unlike what occur in a two-person relationship. It is often euphoric and exhilarating. Sometimes it is...not. But new feelings and new experiences both good and bad keep on happening, almost daily, still, 9 months in to this adventure. The important thing is for us to communicate what we feel, when we feel it, even if we do not know where it comes from or why we feel it. It's gonna be new and it's gonna take us by surprise, because we haven't been here before and there is no roadmap. We're traveling together through gingham. There is only each other to rely on, and rely on each other we must. We should be patient and kind when one of us is feeling hurt or angry. We can take turns being the strong one (or ones), and leave no one behind. And we should speak our minds in the moment, even if there is risk of hurting another, or grinding the fun to a halt. We will each of us make mistakes. We will trod on each others feelings. There's six feet here after all...we must make room for all of them to dance. Here we are, together, strong & madly in love. We should talk with each other, about each other (separately and together) and work together to love each other best. We each have unique insights on the other two. The perspective of any two of us on the other is powerful good. We should run our ideas and decisions by each other. When we do, we execute them better. We are three. We can leverage the power of three smart, loving, passionate individuals. I think this is the best way forward. There is potential for long, good life here.


Love,
