Do you think a relationship like this could work in real life? - Normal Adolescent Behavior (2022) Discussion

i would hope so. with all the crap that goes on in schools and on tv and stuff, having a relationship like that, a family of six who you love and protect, could work out. if you stayed true to each other, what's the harm? but it could get old after a while, and people do tend to notice flaws if they're around someone enough. i would love it if something like that were accepted in life.

Yes, I do. Polyamory is a wonderful thing when it works.

Polyamory relationships would be tough to work in real life. Who knows.

Are you all in high school or something?? This would definitely NOT WORK in real life. Maybe in high school when you would all leave each other in a couple years, but even then it would be sketchy and probably full of drama.

Even threesomes have problems, mainly jealousy! Someone looks at someone a little differently, someone likes something a little better with one of the people. I remember in high school merely just having a CRUSH a guy a friend liked sparked resentment and anger. Its complicated enough keeping your feelings in check when its just you and one other person. Two other girls and three guys?? YEAH RIGHT!!

djdylema78, you assume everybody has crazy jealousy issues like you apparently do.

Yes, relationships like this can and do work. The more people you add, though, the more difficult it is, just because you have more people's feelings to consider. But triads (3 people) or quads (4) happen all the time. I hope to find something like this eventually. But for all of you that are interested...don't give up hope!

NO. Newsflash to CeilingofStars: Jealousy is a normal human emotion. It can and does happen and does not mean that a person has crazy jealousy issues. I for one am NOT into the whole "friends-with-benefits" bull! Things can get nasty very quick when you are having constant sex with all these different people. No thanks, one person who actually loves me is good enough for me!

I think so. If they were very close to begin with. It sounds like it'd be an amazing thing to be a part of. Full of love and friends. Sounds nice.

i agree with djdylema. its highly unlikely that this would work. im all for ppl loving eachother and more power to ppl that could or do enjoy this kinda thing. but lets get real ppl! we have enough problems with monogamy, look at all the cheating, and divorce goin on. so multiply the normal couple of 2 times 3, lol. and teenagers? give me a break! that group of kids would be considered "outcasts" in their school for one, and it would be an extreme rarity to find 6 ppl in their teen years that arent full of drama and are not looking for the next new thing to come along and or new neighbor. so my answer is, slim possibility it could work, but highly unlikely. and im monogamous, i have a close circle of friends, that i love like family but im only interested in sharing my bed with my partner.

Well, just like in the movie it would work great until someone found an outside partner. Then it all collapses.

It's been happening for decades. It's called a polyamorous relationship. It's not for everyone of course but some people do make it work, and they have rules also.
