Spoken by a wise man ... in my opinion.
I've seen it work on several occasions...

No, no, no, that's called an ORGY, not quite the same thing, but I can see how easy it is to make that mistake.
Sorry. Couldn't resist. On topic, I strongly and belligerently hold and defend the view that I have no opinion on this subject whatsoever.

Ah shit, you know me too well. :D
Hi, I think a polyamorous relationship will work provided that all three had agreed to certain terms. If that satisfies them, let them be. You should check this link http://passionmature.com
I think yes, I work as an SEO at https://www.seoplanner.com/ and sometimes I do not have much time to attend only to my girlfriend, I talked to her and we met a friend and we ended up joining our relationship, that is, we love each other and everything works for us and the sex is a plus but it is equal to another normal relationship

never met a polygamist that wasn't an asshole.

This thread is about polyamory, not polygamy. They are massively different things.
I think it can work for some people. Not in my case, but my personal experience doesn't necessarily transfer to the rest of the population - in fact, it'd be quite daft to think otherwise IMNHO.
The answer to “would it work” is an unequivocal no. You hear of many couples being married for 50, 60, even 70 years at times. Name one union of 3 or more that has lasted that long. I’ll wait.

Longevity doesn't necessarily imply happiness. How many couples married for 50-70 years are truly happy? How about the catholic ones who feel they just can't leave because it's "not the catholic thing to do" ? The global divorce rate is teetering around 50% (with an emphasis on countries where people are more educated and women have jobs) - and that doesn't include the ones who remain unhappily married. Ashley Madison has 60 million users.
People are cluing into the fact that the old models aren't working anymore, but due to stigmas around different relationship models, most people who engage in them don't broadcast it. Their primary partner is just said to be their partner, because they realize that most people who still blindly and uncritically follow today's increasingly outdated socio-Christian derived monogamous relationship model likely won't be able to transcend their prejudice and ignorance to understand what people different from them are up to. All the power to them, but plenty of them aren't happy.
Anecdotal it may be, but most of the truly fulfilled people I've observed in my adult life have opted out of traditional lifestyle choices - anything from relationships to work to how they spend their free time. And if their relationships don't last 50 years, it doesn't mean they're any less fulfilling. If anything, the wider variety of life experience may well help make them more well-rounded people.
And of course different relationship models are not a new thing. Plenty of societies in times past thrived with a variety of them. There is much literature on this if you're curious enough.
But there are many of those 50-70 year relationships, and you can't just say they all weren't happy. There are people that have been married for 60+ years, one person dies and the other dies within hours or days because they cannot go on without each other. So I will still wait to hear of even one single amorous relationship of more than 2 people that has lasted that long.
