Max actually has his previous—and disastrous—relationships to thank for meeting Travis and James. My first boyfriend was still very active in the group—becoming one of its leaders—and my second boyfriend was also a member. When they did reconnect, it was because James reached out to him on a dating site. At some point—as with most relationships, I think—the natural progression saw all three of us realizing that there was more to our friendship.
Soon enough, Max moved into the house Travis and James already shared. It is okay for your partner to receive love and support and happiness from others that you may not be capable of. This limits their legal and medical rights as partners; it even made buying their house a bit of a nuisance.
The relationship that Max, Travis, and James share is not that different from any other. Max says this is, in part, because polyamory is becoming more prevalent. Relationships are configured in whatever way works best for the people involved in them. And for the boys, it works with three people sharing a life and a home.
