男子与两女友同居，期待第三个

Adam Lyons is one guy who definitely doesn't agree with the old adage "three's a crowd".

亚当·里昂是一个绝对不会赞同“三个和尚没水喝”这句老话的人。

For the UK-born dating coach lives happily with his two girlfriends - and two children - in their LA home.

这位出生于英国的约会教练和两个女友以及两个孩子在他们位于洛杉矶的家中幸福地生活着。

Lyons, 34, and his partners Brooke Shedd, 26, and Jane Shalakhova, 25, even share a super kingsize bed, and take it in turn to spend date nights together.

34岁的里昂与26岁的布鲁克·谢德和25岁的简·沙拉科娃两名女友同居，三人甚至共睡一张大床，并在晚间轮流出去约会。

Add to the mix his girlfriend Shedd's 5-year-old son, from a previous relationship, and her newborn son with Lyons, named Dante, and you have one rather bustling household.

再加上谢德和前夫5岁的儿子以及她跟里昂刚生的儿子但丁，这个家庭可真热闹。

The self-titled "throuple" insist their unorthodox arrangement provides an excellent family environment, as with two partners, Lyons will "never have to leave my kids with someone I don't trust".

夫妻三人自称“三口子”，坚信其不同寻常的生活能营造一个非常和谐的家庭环境，比如，因为有两个女友，里昂“从不会把孩子留给不信任的人照看”。

"We're just like any other family. Except in ours, there'll be one dad and two mums who live under the same roof - and there'll be nothing but love for our children." he told the Daily Mail.

里昂告诉《每日邮报》的记者：“除了孩子们有一个爸爸、两个妈妈同住一个屋檐下之外，我们就像其他正常的家庭一样——给孩子的只有爱。”

"Dante and Oliver will grow up seeing Adam, Jane and I being affectionate and caring for each other. I think that's amazing."

“亚当、简和我三人情谊深厚、彼此关爱，但丁和奥利弗将在这样的家庭氛围中长大。我觉得棒极了。”

Lyons discovered his passion for polyamory when he and his ex-wife agreed to spice things up with an open marriage.

当里昂和前妻同意在开放式婚姻中增加一点情趣时，他发现自己对一夫多妻制热情满满。

After several dalliances with other women, he met openly bisexual Shedd through his wife, and the pair instantly hit it off.

在交往了几个女人后，经妻子介绍，他认识了已公开双性恋身份的谢德，两人一拍即合。

When he and his wife's relationship came to an amicable end in 2017, Lyons moved in with Shedd and her son.

2017年与妻子和平分手后，里昂搬到了谢德和她儿子的住处。

The pair, who had decided they were keen to explore options outside of monogamy, soon met bisexual photographer Shalakhova at a club - and so the trio began.

两人渴望探寻一夫一妻制之外的选择，于是很快就在酒吧结识了双性恋摄影师沙拉科娃，从此三人的同居生活开始了。

"I had never experimented with polyamorous relationships but with Adam and Brooke, it felt so natural. They were two awesome people," said Shalakhova.

沙拉科娃说：“我从没试过一夫多妻，但和亚当、布鲁克在一起的生活让人感觉很自然。他们两个人都很棒。”

"It's like imagine you meet your soul mate. Now multiply that by two! It's twice the love."

“感觉就像遇到了灵魂伴侣，现在竟然遇到了两个！爱加倍了。”

Last year, they all bought a house they could live in together.

去年，他们三个买了房子一起住。

"Half of all marriages now end in divorce so most kids end up having more than one mum and one dad anyway," said Lyons, who was voted the least likely to ever get a girlfriend at high school (what a difference hindsight makes, eh?).

里昂说：“现在有一半的婚姻以离婚结尾，如此一来，多数孩子有一个以上的妈妈和爸爸。”里昂高中时曾被选为最有可能一个女友都得不到的人（现在的情况却是大相径庭，不是吗？）。

"Therefore, I don't think there's any problem with raising our children with three parents."

“因此，我觉得三个家长一起抚养孩子并没有什么问题。”

But it seems the trio still have some room to spare, as they're open to the possibility of a fourth lover - and Shalakhova hopes to add a third child to the mix in the future.

但是，貌似三人还有一些空间剩余，因为他们已对第四个恋人敞开了大门——而且沙拉科娃还希望未来再添一个孩子。
