When we got into fall, instead of things fizzling out we kept spending time together.<br /><br />"As things went on we spoke about our life plans and things just aligned.<br /><br />"One of the coolest things about this experience is to fall in love with someone and share that with my partner.<br /><br />"Me and Zeke got to date and fall in love with someone at the same time, it is so incredible and so unique."<br /><br />Adam said he doesn't blame anyone for having a hard time understanding a throuple and admits he had insecurities at first.<br /><br />He said: "I can't say I didn't have my insecurities talking about it - no doubt it is unconventional. <br /><br />"I am very fortunate that my family is very supportive of me as a gay person and they are very open-minded.<br /><br />"I went to my mum and told her the situation and that we were falling in love with Derrick.<br /><br />"I told her I know it's none traditional but it feels healthy and I did not see a reason not to be in a throuple apart from the fact it is unconventional."<br /><br />Talking about what he loves about their relationship, Zeke, an engineer from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, said: "The best part of being in a throuple is that it feels like you're spending time with your two best friends who you are also in love with."<br /><br />When it comes to dating, Adam said that nobody is ever "intentionally excluded" if possible they always try to go on date as a three.<br /><br />He said: "If all three of us are available all three of us will hang out but if someone isn't available then the other two will go ahead and go for dinner.<br /><br />"We don't limit ourselves there but we have trust that two of us can go on a date and not intentionally exclude the other one.|"<br /><br />Adam said that the way they function as a throuple is they all have an equal stake in the relationship.<br /><br />The engineer said this isn't always the case with throuples and that there is usually a primary partnership and a third but that is not them.<br /><br />Adam said that him and his partners all experience jealousy but when they do they speak up and talk about how they are feeling.
