We are three best friends that anyone could have...KC/JP/MD

I’d be in tatters without my throuple.

Throuple 

A couple that has a mutual friend or third wheel that is always with them.

Or when a couple’s mutual friend consistently hangs out with them after 6 months or more.

This includes hanging out together on known couple holidays like Valentine’s Day.

Ever since Bob broke up with Kim, he and Ted and Michele have become a serious throuple.

Throuple 

A descriptor of three units of measurement.

A throuple years from now…
A throuple tic-tacs.
A throuple grams.

throuple 

A romantic relationship that includes three people who are banging like crazy, and more than likely pretend that they aren't. If asked about it: deny, deny, deny.

I heard TheStarlessAbstract, Rose, and Paradoxical are a throuple now... maybe they'd let me watch if I asked nicely.

Alabama throuple 

When a couple (not related) and one of their siblings spend waaaay too much time together, to the point where it's assumed they're a throuple.

You always see Joe and Alice hanging out with her brother Tony. I'm starting to think they're an Alabama throuple, dude.

battered throuple syndrome

Battered throuple syndrome is essentially Stockholm syndrome without the kidnapping. Typically BTS experienced by elder people. Sometimes occurs when a spouse dies and they latch onto another couple. The relationship of the three experiences feelings of love, attachment, trapped, and anxiety. Anxiety is often felt when separated from one or two. Trapped is experienced when one wants space from the two but they can not leave. They can run to the grocery store but they must return. Once one experiences BTS one can not escape.

My mom has battered throuple syndrome (BTS). She spends lots of time with a couple. She even sleeps in their bed. She sometimes calls the man her husband but she is confused by the dynamics of BTS.
