Can You Really Add a Third Person Into a Relationship?

Before diving into open relationships, the question on the table is simpler: if two people already struggle to make time for each other, how does adding a third person make anything easier? Anyone who has wondered how non-monogamy actually works in practice, logistically and emotionally, gets a candid, unfiltered take here. One theory floated is that a primary partner offers stability while a secondary partner fills in what's missing, though skepticism runs deep about whether that setup actually holds up long term. The conversation opens with a simpler question first, what one thing each person would change about their own relationship, before circling into the harder territory of open marriages and where the boundaries actually sit.
