Verbally and/or emotionally abusive relationship in a throuple format. Can lead to couple team with
one wo/man out. Elder throuples can not break from a
BTS situation.
BTS seems to be most pervasive in the elder communities. Can sometimes present when a
2 elder couples are close and 1 spouse passes or a couple simply is looking for a third wheel. Eventually the third wheel is entitled to other wheels and this is when
BTS becomes obvious. The cure to
BTS is somehow returning to a traditional couple. In elder communities this cure seems impossible to obtain.
