‘My long-term boyfriend fancied my gay best friend – so now we’re a group’

The throuple admitted that they’d heard mean comments on social media about the fact they’re all in a relationship – but they have some stern words for the haters

Relationships can be hard work, but they are so rewarding when things go right.

It can be even harder to make things go smoothly when there are three of you in the relationship – but somehow, James, Sarah, and Hunter manage to make it work. But it was a rollercoaster ride to get to where they are now.

“My friend turned my boyfriend son,” Sarah admitted at the start of an episode of ‘Love Don’t Judge‘ on YouTube. Sarah shared that she and James have “been together since high school,” and James had never been with a man before he caught feelings for Sarah’s best friend, who is gay, Hunter.

Hunter admitted that he cared for Sarah “a little bit more than a friend” but said: “At the same time, I knew I was gay – so I was a little confused”.

Sarah and James both said they were “bisexual” – but Hunter shared he was “biromantic”. So how did they all meet? Well, they met Hunter when they were looking for somewhere to live, and they just got close from there.

Before Sarah and James met Hunter, they’d never considered adding a third person to their relationship because Sarah described herself as “a jealous person”. It had never crossed her mind “in the slightest” – and even Hunter said that he “prefers monogamy”.

Despite this, Hunter is now in a relationship with both of them. It may be unconventional, but the trio say they couldn’t be happier.

Sarah said her feelings “never diminished” when she noticed a connection with Hunter. They’ve also managed to come up with a system when it comes to intimacy.

When asked the question: “Who has sex with whom?” The group shared that Sarah and James have sex, James and Hunter have sex, and Hunter “pleases” Sarah in other ways, as he only likes men sexually.

Meanwhile, the “number one question” they get asked is about their sleeping arrangements. It turns out, they will “all sleep in the same bed” and “take turns” to be in different positions.

Sadly, the trio have had hate comments online due to their alternative lifestyles. Some tell them “it’s just a phase”, accusing them of not loving each other and it just being “for fun”.

Critics even say: “You’ll enjoy yourselves and then just go back to your normal life,” which the three of them completely disagree with. And friends “didn’t get it” either. They were even “weirded out” by their lifestyle – but the group refuses to let them hold them back.

James revealed Sarah and Hunter have helped him to be the “best version” of himself. He gushed: “I’ll never be able to thank you both enough for all of the love and support – you truly make me the happiest guy in the world…

“It’s our lives, and we’re gonna live it the way that we wanna live it, honestly. Just keep the judgment to yourselves. If you really don’t like it, don’t look.”

Since sharing their story on YouTube, the group has received plenty of positive comments. One wrote: “A lot of people are in open relationships nowadays. Some people are monogamous, while other people are polygamous. Whatever makes you happy!”

Another said: “They seem happy. That’s all that matters.” And a third added: “This is the type of relationship I want to be in because I’m bisexual.”
