when you're a third wheel for awhile but eventually start dating one of the couple, causing the couple to break up
by masterofspite December 4, 2023

The person in a group of people (usually two, though sometimes more) who is most often left out of things.
The third wheel is usually there for one of two reasons - to act as a mediator, such as with a couple, or to be the "convenience friend" when nobody else is there to hang.
Third wheels are not normally forcefully excluded from activities, but they're not usually invited or informed about them either.
Not to be confused with being third-wheeled.

Same as becoming a third wheel but in the company of another who prefers to text/converse with someone else than you. Typical occurrence for 'besties' which one of them recently got engaged in a relationship.
A: Saw you riding train next to the popular chick, how'd it go?
B: Boring. I got Digitally third wheeled the whole ride.
(A: Digi-wha..?
B: a 'Digital Third Wheel' is- Same as becoming a third wheel but in the company of another who prefers to text/converse with someone else than you.
A: Dang that sucks..)

Usually the odd one out of the group (3 people), this person does not fit in and typically has a strong intolerance for eggs.

Third wheeling is the act of socializing with a couple, often as an unwanted, unnecessary third person. This can often be related to adding a third wheel on a garbage can: unnecessary for your trash.
