Couple dating another couple

“I have a wife and a girlfriend”: is polyamory the biggest dating trend for 2020?

So you're thinking about joining an established couple. That might mean dating someone who is already part of an existing couple, or maybe dating both members of an existing couple.

By defining the parameters up front about who you expect to be intimate with, you can avoid a lot of grief down the road. This combines two of the most common poly mistakes—trying to force relationships to fit a predefined shape, and expecting different relationships to develop the same way—into one. Doing this may impose unrealistic expectations on you; even if you were to date identical twins, it would be reasonable to expect each relationship to develop differently!
