Stacey Dooley Sleeps Over With Polyamorous Throuple! 

Left us hanging with the cats name !!!

I seldom comment but have to say I’ve been binging Stacey’s documentaries - she is such a warm, engaging interviewer. It makes watching these so enjoyable! Almost like having a tea with a friend. Keep it up Stacey!

Nicole has figured out free rent in London

That dad is an example for parents everywhere. You dont have to fully grasp everything about your child's life to respect them, love them, and welcome in their chosen family.

Having thought I was in a 24 year monogamous marriage and found out that my husband was cheating I am now re evaluating everything. Firstly I am now divorced. Because of the lying alone. He always would be jealous when other men paid me attention, something I wasn't comfortable with it but to be such a hypocrite. And I can say truly that I now see I was not loved, or cherished. I was coveted. I had utility for his career. Who am I to tell others how to live and love? At least they have honesty. And love cannot exist when suffocated with a blanket of lies.

The energy of ALL of them was so beautiful, genuine, warm, open, welcoming and loving! I realized I had been smiling the whole way through the episode because their energy is just so exquisite.

Only now have I stumbled upon Stacey. I find HER more interesting than the subject at hand. Very bright and communicative - even if she does drop the odd 'H'. Stacey could make a compelling interviewer. Must do some research. The whole 45mins was fascenating. Loved it Stacey. Thank you from Germany.

They are crazy handsome and seem really committed to understanding their feelings and interactions. So good for them!

Love how Stacey is so open and respectful, shes a riot

What a character Stacey is. And I adore Wilbur and Harley ❤

Stacey talking about being jelly about her dog and the pan to the elderly pup. 😅😅 perfect. As a married woman in a polyamorous throuple I want to thank you for this video and for approaching with open heart ❤️

I am so offended that the cat didn't get a name!

I think it's interesting he doesn't want his child to experience a broken home but he's comfortable having people come in and out of his Child's life. To all the replies: Thank you all for opening my eyes! To clarify I wasn’t stating my opinion, rather, I was just sharing a thought. I think people should live their lives however they want! I do now see this family from a different perspective based on the responses. As people have pointed out, people will usually have others come in and out of a child’s life, no matter what the parents romantic situation is. However, I do still think this situation is slightly different as the third partner is living in the home and I don’t know if that’s the best thing for a child. Again, not super firm on this opinion and am open to others thoughts. What do others think? :) I 🫶🏻 open discussions!

Polyamory is not the same as an "open" marriage. And its also not the same as swinging. It's not trivial differences.

Wow !!! love staceys documentaries.. love to meet her in real life n have a cup of tea and a long chat with her... . As a bloke its wierd that i get a fuzzy nice feeling from watching these heart warming and mind opening docs that suprisingly show me that even if I don't think that I would live the way the prople in the docs do, that I can still see other peoples choices and ways of life without automatically judging or criticising them. Surely it should be considered an asset to be able to see others and their lives and focus not on our differences but on our similarities??!!❤

This couple house is gorgeous.i don’t relate with their way of life but their way of taste is great…😊

Thanks for some great reporting. I didn’t know much about that before.

That's a big suitcase for just a weekend. 😂🎉 It was great whenever the weird pizzicato strings stopped 😊.

Having a group sx painting in a living room with a 7-year-old is not mildly but wildly inappropriate. While all of them seem nice, I don't think any of these relationships will last.

They all seem lost to me

Very kind people all around. Stacey looks like she will be back to chill and get foot rubs😊

My parents are polyamorous but no one cheats or anything they are just our mums and dads and they all love each other together. I saw some one said it would be bad for the kid but me and my siblings love our parents and it means we have more love and more siblings to play with! Especially on summer holidays it is really fun. Our family is just normal to us though

>Whos idea was it? >'It was mutual' >It was her idea

I get it that it works for the adults; and, although it's not for me, I don't judge them for it; but, I wonder how it feels for their son to get so attached to Nicole and then she leaves? That was never discussed although I think it's an important factor, considering your child's feelings as well. I'd like to see a follow-up with this family in 10 years.

Her hair looks fabulous. Suits her well.

My son and his wife got into this lifestyle and they explained it as having so much love that it was easy to share with others. All that was asked of each other was to be open and honest before ever being with another. Surprise they are now divorced, because my son cheated on his wife. He had sex with someone without telling his wife. TRUST WAS BROKEN! I am not sure this can last over the long haul.

Their experience is much like the poly couple i know personally. I find it so strange how open Stacey is to the lifestyle compared to how judgemental and confrontation she has been with other families. This would have been a great opportunity for her to discuss her own biases. Cathy doesn't seem weird to me in contrast to the other comments. She seems like she's really interested in a relationship with a woman but doesn't want to give up the stability and😮 familiarity with her husband. I really like Thomas and it seems to me the poly lifestyle was Cathy's idea that he went along with to make her happy.

It’s sad when people don’t know they are gay. OFC she was jealous of the other woman’s new guy. That’s because she is gay. Her husband is gay too which is why he can share his wife. It’s no problem because their feeling only goes so far. They are more friends with benefits. Eventually they will realize

When she asks if anyone feels left out I would imagine its the child.

Thanks!

Having a glass staircase and a young kid is crazy

Mostly concerned for their son.

I can't imagine sharing my husband with another woman, and yes we fulfill every need, every!

Not sure about this. Feel sorry for the kid,

Love your videos. Just discovered them. I think if the thrupple is happy then it works. It wouldn’t work for me, but I can see how it would be very interesting and stimulating to have more than one person living in the household.

I never heard of that terminology before ..But loved it..Great trio ..Great shoe.. Kitchener ontario

Absolutely love the video and how much positive effect in on us people who are polyamory or couple that has a open marriage

The PIG was the most interesting subject of this episode.

It's a bit sad that in her questions Stacey only touched on the very superficial layer of such a relationship only trying to confirm or contradict the very stereo types discussed when talking about such relationships. Plus, it was too exclusively focused on the "the guy in Australia" aspect of this very particular throuple ...... I would have liked to hear more and better understand aspects such as: is this polyamory relationship primarily defined by the sexual aspects involved; how and where does emotional love come in and in which ways? What are the aspects that make you decide to cohibit thus sharing lives 24/7 instead of just meeting for dates? What requirements are necessary to ensure that the marriage does not get strained? Emotionally but also very pragmatically and concrete ..... In this episode, the aspect of jealousy or emotional struggles were nearly entirely negated, but in reality I know that it is an aspect that needs to be constructively dealt with through a lot of exchange and concrete agreements and plans. Also the aspect of dealing with the child was answered in a rather abstract manner with very little concrete plans and decisions being presented. I am not saying that they were not there, but it would have been interesting to dig deeper to get a better picture. All together, all of the people present seemed yery nice and positive with Cathy being visibly affected by the current state of events. I wish them all the best.

I know of way too many couples who live “traditionally” & are secretly miserable to judge these people lol. Many projections on this comment section,also divorce rates are quite telling. Love the transparency of this arrangement. Not for me but to each their own.

It doesn't look as if the married couple really love each other or care very much about each other. They both seem to be in love with the Australian girl. Maybe they are just staying together for the sake of their son.

Interesting life concept! Minute 27'05": cool foot tatoo french "J'adore"!... I love British English accent!

Just because they are poly doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to ask the guy what his body count is. Wildly inappropriate. His answer is on point, “It’s not a numbers game for me.” 🎉 Bravo!

The interviewer is wow! Interesting interview, well done and what a look into a different relationship scenario.

I am just aghast that you all wear your shoes in the house!!

I'm too jealous and insecure for a relationship like this.😊

This show was one of my favorite that she has done. I think she will stay friends with them.

9:44 If your wife has a boyfriend, and she is devastated (which means she was in love with that boyfriend) when they break up, you are not the center of her heart. And as you have your girlfriend as well, the same is true of you. These folks are just like the aristocrats of old who married and then agreed to have mistresses and lovers on the side. This isn't new, it's very old. They share a home, and have mutual parentage responsibilities, but their emotional engagement with each other is probably more like a "friends with benefits" arrangement. They seem amiable people, but it's likely they may not know devotion.

He blushed and started playing with his rings when Nicole came home. He has it bad for her.

Why is the presenter telling more about her thoughts about the relationship than she let the throuple talk about their actual relationship?

So glad I discovered you, you are thoroughly interesting.

I'm more afraid of those glass stairs than of their relationship.

We need a follow up now and an interview of the boy

Those two are just at the beginning of their divorce and separation phase right now they are trying the polyamorous thing then comes the drama as one finds a partner that replaces the other then the divorce.

Talking about this in front of a kid is irresponsible 😢

I don't have a problem with this but i must be truful, it feels a bit off... fake on the other side. I mean not fake documentary but fake "love", fake feelings

If my bf had sex with someone else I'd feel really betrayed, it doesn't have anything to do with seeing your partner as your "property", love is a two-way street.

The big issue is diseases. Condoms prevent some, but many are transmitted skin to skin contact.

Not fun for the child who probably doesn't want the whole world to know about his parents sex life... 🙄 I hope he won't get bullied because of this.

Nobody is going to talk about the "art" above the sofa in a home with a Child 😳 wtf

I guess I’m too old fashioned…….I find this mind boggling!

It's wild that Stacey acts more accepting, and way less judgmental in this situation than with the wealthy people. She claims to be so open, but has some massive prejudices herself. Also, no one else but this "throuple" has asked her to get a lap dance at a sex party, but somehow the conservatives are offensive?

Wouldn't it be nice if you were with someone who treats you like a princess, will share intimate moments only both of you do and is not willing to share you with everybody?

As a child, it was very confusing and confronting to communicate with someone you don't know and dislike

This isn't a marriage. And that poor little boy.

Wilbur is female.

Couldn’t live that lifestyle but I’d love to follow all three of them just to see where they all end up

this video is abosultely eye-opening for sure

anything can happen when you both transparent in the way you live and communicate

Wilbur reminds more so much of Winnie my chocolate pit bull who is so sweet they could be twins❤

Why even get married? Will be interesting to see these same people in thirty years lo l

I am confused. When asked about the marriage, they said it all happened so fast, but they have a 7 year old son and they have been married for 6 years ...???? This is not really complicated. These people have removed intimacy and love from sex and made sex into simply recreational activity. They say they watched their parents lie about things that they should not have been doing and it hurt them. So we will just do those wrong things out in the open and it will not hurt our child. 🤣🤣🤣

Though she will deny it. The interviewer was definitely turned on lol

They all seems happy. Who are we to judge. Iam happy for them.

The feeling of excitement for your partner or partners having other romantic attachments is called compersion. Compersion is actually just the opposite of jealousy and anyone can experience this emotion: Envy: Wishing to have something you don't have but you know someone else has. Jealousy: Being upset when someone else's joy doesn't come from yourself. Compersion: Being happy for someone's experience of joy regardless of the source of that joy. Examples: Envy: You want the Tesla that Sarah has. Jealousy: Sarah buys a Tesla and she is more excited about buying her Tesla than she was about the Gucci purse you gave her for Christmas so you feel she's unappreciative and it's not fair that she likes the Tesla more. Compersion: Sarah likes the Gucci purse, but she's more excited about the Tesla she's buying. You don't take it personally and are just happy that Sarah likes the present you gave her and are also happy that she's excited about buying her Tesla. Everyone can experience any or all of these emotions, not everyone experiences them all nor at the same intensity, but it ranges per person. Monoamorous people naturally experience more jealousy and envy when it comes to their romantic relationships. Polyamorous people tend to experience more compersion in romantic relationships. Ambiamorous or other amorous people can experience a range of these emotions depending on the person, situation, or intensity of their emotions. This is why polyamory is actually called a relationship orientation (yes, it's an orientation) because you're feelings are based on your values and what feels best for you and often this can be developed in childhood. As she described, polyamorous people experience natural compersion and excitement for partners and we have always been that way since childhood. It effects how we love in all relationships, not just romantic ones. We can feel this compersion with multiple friends, siblings, parents, and it extends to partners. It's important to understand this is a NATURAL emotion, not learned. Not everyone is or can be polyamorous, just as not everyone is or can be monoamorous. Not everyone experiences jealousy just as not everyone experiences compersion. Others may experience both or neither and at different intensities. Understanding this, if you have complete jealousy, then you can't fall in love with multiple people because your focus can only take one in a healthy manner. If you experience complete compersion, then it's difficult to focus that emotion onto one person. A person who experiences an experience in the middle of these emotions may have more control over how they can formulate relationships between one or more people, causing it to feel more like a choice (ambiamorous people). These emotions play a huge roll in someone's relationship orientation. This doesn't mean polyamorous people can't get jealous or monoamorous people can't feel compersion, it just means that jealousy comes more naturally for monoamorous people and compersion comes more naturally for polyamorous people. While too much jealousy is bad (you don't want to go as far as to own or control someone so they can't have friends or isolating them to just be around and do things with only you), only intense jealousy needs to be and can be worked on. Some jealousy can help with your boundaries. So, if you experience a healthy amount of jealousy and it's helping you keep up boundaries in your relationships, then keep at it. Don't listen to polyamorous people who say, "We just need to work on our jealousy." Often times, we think jealousy stems from insecurities and while it can (especially for polyamorous people where jealousy is unnatural until and unless trauma occurs), many polyamorous people tend to ignore the fact that jealousy can be natural even without trauma and that monoamorous people have it naturally. It's because it's telling you that something doesn't make you comfortable in the situation and as long as that emotion doesn't overstep other people's boundaries, then you are entitled to adhere to your jealousy. I'm not sure why polyamorous people ignore this as though we can understand what it's like to be monoamorous. All these emotions are valid just as all orientations are valid. Anyways, just thought I'd explain compersion, the relationship orientation spectrum a bit, and why we experience more compersion as well as why monoamorous people experience more jealousy.

Mark take Rebecca to a doctor. Put Rebecca in a room for at least a month. Thank you Mark. *Karla, thank you so much. You speak with Rebecca with so much kindness. You give Rebecca space for dignity in the conversation.*

I can’t say that I understand this, but to each his/her own! Who am I to judge?

If Stanley loves Nicole ,what happens when she decides to leave .?

Stacey gifted in getting the best out of everyone ❤

I really don't get it personally, but I respect it in that they seem to be very respectful of one another and caring and all are okay with it. That's what is most important.

Our world is so screwed up. What is wrong with people

They also aren't teaching their child self-sacrifice. What it is to put everything else above yourself. I think that is what's wrong in "Western" culture.

Literally more affection shown to the animals than to the child, he is such an afterthought tp these people.

So basically it is a marriage in which both can cheat... These kind of relationships never work out long term,..

This would never work if Nicole brought a second straight male into the home.

The guys seems more into the red head that his wife (have seen any affection from him to his wife throughout), red head seems more into the wife emotionally but into the guy sexually, wife seems like she could want monogamy, but doesn’t wanna have a broken home.

This would bother me less if there wasn’t a child involved. Like do what you want but if there’s a kid, they need stability, not people coming and going and confusion. This poor kid

This gives me the creeps. Maybe, if you were used to this it wouldn’t affect you this way, but it gives me chills down my spine. I can see through the deception of this.

Experimenting is all i think of this three way relationship. Its the surface level attraction and being turned on by one another they are confusing with commitment and real feelings. Often a denial of your authentic self because it brings up too many painful memories. Promiscuity has its roots in trauma. The child is the sad victim who didn't invite this. Hope he grows up happy and not confused about love if he chooses monogamy.

normlazing the unormail becoming very normal nowadays. which is scary

I struggle to understand open relationships in this day and age. My view is that sex is reserved for the marriage bed, a gift from God.

All her questions were basically about sex. So biased and small minded

They greeted her very warmly. Lol 😮

I don’t know how Stacey manages to stay over at peoples houses like that. I can stay with friends and family like that but I’d either need a bedroom with ensuite at a strangers place, or I’d have to stay in a hotel.

after watching this I no longer wonder why the western world is dying

I've noticed polyamory is a short term option. It doesn't seem to be a life long venture. More of a period of time. Listen, I'm not saying it means anything if something is temporary (as everything ultimately is). It's just interesting. I think polyamory is great. People get to explore without deception. As long as the couples have good communication and boundaries. It's better than all these folks pretending to be monogamous cheating on their partners. It should be an open discussion. I personally am super monogamous (my whole life). But I love that people have a socially acceptable avenue to explore and be themselves. Love is love and there isn't one correct way to experience it.

These people are the most attractive britts i've ever seen.

I wonder what their childhoods were like, and what they're overcompensating for. Also, if kids are in the picture, this changes things. Also, when his wife is wooed by a smoking hot guy who is rich, he may change his mind. This is too much of a power struggle.

This could function, when both parts of the couple are truly open-minded, truly love and respect each other and somehow intelligent to know, that they can put a limit when sexual pleasure turns into love that might destroy the existing relationship. If all these factors exist, this can function in theory, otherwise, it would risk existing relationship.

You Me Her.....They are truly strong and different
