Polyamorous married couple get engaged to woman they met on Tinder

When Rosie Haley came out as bisexual to her husband Ty, he was supportive.

The 24-year-old student and support worker met Australian defence force member, Ty, 23, when they were in high school in Brisbane, Australia.

By 18 they were married and four years later, Rosie was able to reveal her sexuality to Ty.

They decided to open their marriage to find another woman they could both fall in love with.

The couple joined Tinder and matched with student Keneshia Petty, 23, in May 2018.

Now the throuple are engaged.

After a few weeks of talking, Rosie and Ty both went on separate dates with Keneshia, and they hit it off immediately.

Two months after meeting, the trio moved in together.

Rosie proposed to Keneshia while Ty was deployed in the Middle East and joined the romantic moment on Skype. When he returned, he also proposed to Keneshia.

‘Being in a throuple means more love, understanding, growth and encouragement. We have our needs met by one another in ways that monogamy never offered,’ said Keneshia.

Their relationship works by each having an individual relationship with the other and then a collective relationship involving all three.

Keneshia says that it takes a lot of adjusting, compromising, and figuring out how to manage wardrobe space to make things work.

Rosie says she planned the proposal for months and waited until Keneshia’s birthday.

She said: ‘I was so incredibly nervous. It was first thing in the morning as we sat on the bed with a cup of coffee and we had Ty on skype.

‘After pouring my heart out to her, she said she would be my wife, and I cried and held her. I couldn’t have been happier and more full of love.’

Despite their happiness, the throuple’s families have had some reservations.

‘My parents don’t necessarily understand, but they have been willing to meet Keneshia and when they did, they were happy to see how happy she has made me,’ said Ty.

Keneshia has had worse luck: ‘My little sister disowned me, and our relationship turned sour when I made an official statement to her about my relationship.

‘It was heartbreaking. My oldest sister also didn’t handle the news very well and it has been a strained relationship since.

‘My mother has been very supportive. All my friends though? They didn’t stop loving me and they have all without fail made my life with Rosie and Ty absolutely beautiful knowing I do have support and love.’

Having three very different people in one relationship can be tough and so the throuple have a therapist.

The psychologist offers unbiased opinions that allow them to see an outside perspective on issues that challenge them.

‘Polyamory is a valid form of relationship and there’s nothing wrong or immoral about it,’ said Keneshia.

‘We all love each other very, very much. It’s not a sex cult, religious cult or cult in general. We have free will, self-identity and our love, which is just as beautiful as the love between two partners.’
