ménage à trois
Three-person love arrangement
A ménage à trois is a sexual or romantic arrangement involving three people living together or regularly engaging in intimate relations.
The French term literally means "household of three." While it can describe any domestic arrangement of three adults, the phrase typically implies a sexual relationship among all parties, distinguishing it from situations where only two of the three are romantically involved.
