- An anonymous user from the US shared his love story on Reddit.

- A unicorn in a relationship is when a couple invites another person to join them.
The woman who was the ‘unicorn’ in the couple’s existing relationship has revealed all the details, from how they hid their arrangement to why they broke up.
The anonymous user, who appears to be based in the US, revealed on Reddit that he is in a relationship with his best friend and her husband.
She told people on the web they could “ask me anything” about their polyamorous arrangement, which had been going on for “over a year.”
Social media users flooded the comments section with questions for the woman in a popular thread titled “Ask Me Anything.”
The post read, “I was a ‘unicorn’ in my marriage…”
“It’s basically what the title says. I had an affair with my best friend and her husband. Ask me anything.”
according to Okay, Cupida unicorn in a relationship is “when a couple invites another person as a third romantic partner.”
“The connection could be just for one night, or it could be a long-term arrangement that all three of you will enjoy.”
After being asked about her experience and how things started, the woman began to reveal her secrets.
She said, “One night we were drinking, smoking, and joking about it. A lot of people, when they’re in a certain state, they think they want something, so nothing happens. The next few days were a bit awkward.
“A few days later, she came and talked to me and said she was serious and wanted a third person. Then a few months later, it happened. We set boundaries and rules and I stopped drinking water. I was with her first without him just to try.
“He gradually joined in, and then it became a full-fledged relationship.” She added that it was “a little weird” at first, but quickly became “amazing.”
Another user then asked how they were able to be “comfortable” as a couple.
The couple added: “The first thing we did was make sure her feelings were valid.” We’ll discuss how I can assure her that I don’t want her to feel like I want him more and that I’m not going to come between their relationship if she does.
“This could stop at any time. She’s done the same thing to me. If I want to stop being with him too, it’s over. Even if I want to end this whole relationship. , it was fun while it lasted.
“It took a while, but honestly it worked out. They’re still happily married and we’re still friends!”
The “unicorn” then shared that “sex” is the best part of the relationship, adding that he also values the trust and communication between the three of them.
But the relationship actually extended beyond the bedroom, she said, sharing that she and her husband often went on fishing dates together while she and his wife did each other’s nails.
The Reddit user explained that they hid their relationship from the couple’s children before sharing how it ended.
She explained that the relationship ended on good terms, adding that she knew they had to break up because she decided she wanted children of her own.
“It was a beautiful break. The reason it ended was because I wanted to have children of my own. I loved (and still do) her children, and I wanted that for myself.” I wanted that too, but I knew that wasn’t possible in that situation.
“In my opinion, I think it would be too weird to have a child with him (lol). I don’t think it would be beneficial. I have a guy friend, but it’s different about him because he already knows about my past and is someone I feel comfortable venting to.
“That’s just asking for trouble, and you don’t want to say a line that could hurt your husband or wife.
“I think it helps to talk about it, but things don’t always go as planned. It would have been easier to set boundaries in advance about when it would end.”
“Like, is it okay for us to still talk and hang out, or is that part of our relationship gone? I didn’t want to say that after the fact. I don’t want to make a fuss about it, and I don’t want her to wonder why I decided to divorce but emotionally still want to be with my husband.” She explained.
