Post 5: The Fun & Chaos of Throuple Life

Last week's Questions:

1. How did things work out with your friend?

   1. Honestly? Nothing’s really changed. You can’t change someone’s mind when they’re set in their ways, so the group text has just gone silent over the last week. And that’s fine. I’d rather let the convo die than say something we’d regret over that stupid orange dude. 🙄

2. What do you do for fun to avoid the political noise?

   1. The best way? Airplane mode. We shut off our phones and hit the road for a good 15-mile bike ride—just us, the open air, and no notifications blowing up our screens. If we’re feeling more like a chill day with the pups, we’ll find a new hiking trail, pack a lunch, and just get lost in nature for a bit. Because honestly, Nature is the key to escaping the constant political noise. News was never meant to be 24/7—and yet, here we are.

3. Are you going to share more recipes?

   1. We’ve been talking about it! We love to cook, and we’re thinking about moving our ‘Eats’ page into the blog instead. That way, we can share our favorite meals, kitchen fails, and all the good stuff in one place. Stay tuned! 😋

The Best Parts of Being in a Throuple:

Life as a throuple is like having the best of both worlds—and then some. The love? There’s more than enough to go around. The laughs? You’re guaranteed a good time every day. Plus, there’s always someone there to lean on when life gets a little overwhelming. Whether it’s sharing a problem, celebrating a victory, or just hanging out, there’s always someone to talk to, support you, or make you laugh.

One of our favorite things is traveling together. We’ve discovered that having two partners means a built-in party wherever we go. From spontaneous road trips to exotic vacations, it’s never a dull moment when there’s three of us. And honestly, we couldn’t imagine life without this dynamic. Being in a throuple is just part of who we are now, and we wouldn’t trade it for anything.

The Challenges:

Of course, no relationship is without its challenges—and throuple life has its own unique set. First off, there’s the issue of three schedules, three headaches. We’ve become experts at syncing up calendars for date nights, trips, and even just figuring out when we’re all free to chill. And don’t even get us started on food decisions. You’d think choosing a place to eat would be easy, but when you have three people with different tastes, it’s more like a political negotiation. Throw in the fact that we have to figure out where to spend the holidays, and it can get downright comical.

But honestly, It’s all part of the fun. We’ve learned to be flexible and patient with each other, and while it’s not always easy, it’s always worth it.

Oh life:

Okay, so here’s one of our classic moments: every relationship has that person who says, “I’ll be ready in 20 minutes,” but never is. In our case, that person is Caleb. When Caleb says he’ll be ready in 20 minutes, we all know it really means: “Take a 10-minute nap, maybe learn a new hobby, and you’ll see me in about an hour.” The effort is there, though—we love you, Caleb! But seriously, if you’re in a relationship with that one person who always seems to be “just about ready,” you get it. It’s the little things like this that make everyday life so relatable and funny.

Now, here’s the thing: People always think throuples are just about “fun” and “casual,” but we hate to burst that bubble—we’re a completely monogamous relationship. Our connection is just as serious as any other relationship. Sometimes that is hard for people to grasp.

Life Lately: House Projects, Avoiding Panic & Chicken Debates

Dropping this blog a little early because company’s coming! Nothing like Will’s sister and nephew visiting to kick us into full-blown panic-finish-house-projects mode. You know, those little things we totally meant to do last summer—like finally painting the outside doors to match the new house colors. 😂 But beyond the usual deep cleaning + prepping for spring breakers, not much is new around here.

We all sat through that absolute shit show on TV the other night, and yeah… that was an eye-opener. But as much as we could spiral into panic about what could happen, we’re choosing not to go down that rabbit hole. Instead, we’re reminding ourselves that worrying about things that haven’t happened yet is just wasted energy. So we’re putting the political madness on airplane mode and focusing on just hanging out.

Oh, and about those four new chickens—still working on it. Caleb made a very valid point: we won’t even be here in April (hello, Costa Rica 🏝), and leaving them for Will’s parents isn’t exactly fair. Sooo… we’ll keep trying. Maybe we’ll revisit this topic on a Friday night with tequila in late April—pretty sure we can sway him after a few margaritas. 😂

Hope you all have an amazing weekend! Thanks for reading, and we’ll have a fresh blog post for you in a week or so after our visitors head home. Leave a comment or like below. 💙
