love triangles
Three-way romantic entanglements
Love triangles is the plural of love triangle, a romantic situation involving three people where affections are misaligned—typically two people competing for one, or one person torn between two others.
The term comes from drama and fiction, where such arrangements drive plot: The love triangle between the two brothers and the woman they both loved ended in tragedy.
In real life, love triangles usually mean someone is about to get hurt.
