lesbiassparrowHello, I'm lesbiassparrow and I have just realised that I like love triangles. Oh, feck it, I love them. I think that really smart people probably hate them because they jerk around the viewer/reader for cheap melodramatic thrills, but the thing is, I just can't get enough of cheap melodrama. I'm a sucker for that stuff.
I have one requirement though: the person at the centre has to really feel for the other two. It's not a good love triangle unless they are conflicted about which one they should pick and struggle to remain honourable throughout it. So if you know of any shows or books that I might have missed that feature love triangles of this sort please feel free to recommend them to me. Who knows, a steady diet of this stuff might cure me.

Perhaps not watching Passions helps?
