Woman Open up about Being in a Relationship with her Tinder Match and College Flame.
A
woman has opened up about being in a three-way marriage with her Tinder match
and her college flame – and how things can get messy from time to time.
Angel
Bailey who is 26, and Tyler Hays who is 29, started dating in June 2018 after matching
on Tinder and invited Sam Vick who is 23, into their relationship in April
2021.
Bailey
knew Vick from college and had shared a kiss with her – reignited their spark when
they met at a festival and they ended up having a threesome with Hays in May
2019.
The
trio developed feelings for each other and decided to be a throuple, thus, entering
a romantic relationship between the three of them.
The
polyamorous trio tried dating two times first after their threesome but
couldn’t make it past two weeks.
Unable
to let each other go, they decided to give their relationship a second chance in
April 2021 and invited Vick to move in.
Bailey
and Hays are getting married in May 2022 but are hoping that Sam marry them both
in the future.
Bailey
who is a banking mortgage warehouse operations specialist from Arkansas
explained: “All three of us went to the festival, and under music influence and
maybe a little bit of alcohol Sam and I just started kissing.”
“And
Tyler’s reaction was like: ‘Well, that’s pretty cool.’
“It
just kind of advanced from there.”
“At
first we were scared to open up to each other and it can be intimidating to add
another person into your life that you can depend upon.”
“I
was being selfish at first but now I have worked through my jealousy.”
“Now
the three of us go on dates together.”
HOW DID IT START?
Bailey
and Vick were friends when they were in college– the friendship started when
Bailey invited Vick to a party and the girls ended up kissing but remained
platonic.
Vick
who is a bank clerk from Arkansas, explained: “We both were exploring our
sexuality at that point and were starting to learn we didn’t just like kissing
girls after being drunk.”
After
Bailey met Hays on tinder they had always spoken about trying new things in
their relationship.
In
May 2019, Bailey, Hays, and Vick went to Hangout Festival with a big group of
friends.
The
three of them split from the group to watch a different band.
Drunk
they reignited their old flame, and Bailey and Vick started kissing – Hays
joined in and things progressed when they went back to the Airbnb.
Hays
who is a ramp agent from Tennessee, said: “We thought it to be a one-time
thing.”
Bailey
added: “But we all developed feelings.”
Bailey
said: “I had never dated girls. So, it was difficult for me to distinguish
friendship feelings from relationship feelings.
“I
knew it was different when it didn’t feel right when we were not together, and
I missed her like I missed Hay.”
“For
Sam, it was difficult to be with Tyler and Bailey together who had already been
going out for a whole year.”
MAKING IT WORK
In
April 2021, the trio decided to give the relationship a proper shot together.
In
the beginning, Hays struggled with his two girlfriends and his work schedule
and Bailey didn’t like to see Vick with her boyfriend.
Bailey
said: “I thought I get to be in two relationships, one with Tyler, and other with
Sam,’ but I never thought of Tyler and Sam also being together or three of us as
a whole big relationship.”
“I
was getting selfish at first but now have worked through my jealousy.
“And
now we all go on dates.
“Sam
and Tyler visit the zoo while I’m at work.”
Vick
currently lives a little away from Hays and Bailey, so is only with them three
days a week.
But
in April 2022, Vick moved into the couple’s two-bedroom home in Memphis.
The
three have never lived together for more than three days at a time but they can’t
wait to be together.
Bailey
said: “Sam and I share the bed Monday to Friday, when Tyler is at work, he
sleeps in another room.”
“It
is a rare occurrence that all three of us share the queen size.”
“There’s
always someone with you when you need something and that isn’t possible in a
regular couple.”
SEX LIFE
In
the bedroom, usually, they don’t all have sex together (threesome), but they
take it in turns.
“It’s
not always three of us together and it’s absolutely not a lifestyle for
everyone,” Hays said.
Vick
said: “ Most of the time it’s only two of us having sex – either it is Bailey
and me or Tyler and me or Tyler and Bailey.”
“We
all three do get together sometimes, but it’s not as frequent as when it’s just
two of us.”
Bailey
said: Setting boundaries early on and communication is key.201D
“Our
parents know about our relationship, but don’t like to talk about it. And, all
our friends know too.”
