Love triangles have always attracted attention, both in literature and cinema, and in real life. This is one of those topics that never fails to spark controversy, capture the imagination, and often lead to strong emotions. Why are love triangles so popular? And why is my attitude towards them so ambiguous?

I admit, I have also more than once found myself in situations where relationships were complicated by the appearance of a third party. This did not necessarily mean that I myself was in the center of the triangle, but even observing such situations among friends and acquaintances was enough to realize the complexity and ambiguity of this phenomenon.

On the one hand, love triangles can be exciting. They add spice to life, force you to reconsider your feelings and, perhaps, discover something new about yourself and your partner. The very idea that you can be the object of someone’s aspirations and desires can be flattering and raise self-esteem.

But behind this temporary feeling of euphoria lies a darker side. Often love triangles lead to pain, disappointment and even destruction of relationships. I have seen good friends turn into enemies, families torn apart, and people left with broken hearts and ruined lives.

There was a time when I myself was involved in a love triangle. I was younger and less experienced then, and at first it seemed something exciting and romantic. But gradually the realization came that I was playing with fire. Emotional swings, constant uncertainty and fear of hurting someone - all this began to weigh on me. In the end, this did not bring happiness to any of us.

My experience and observations have led me to the conclusion that love triangles are more a path to destruction than to happiness. They destroy trust and make relationships fragile and unstable. It's like building a castle on sand - sooner or later it will collapse.

However, despite all this, love triangles continue to attract us. Perhaps it is in our nature - the desire for complex, multi-level relationships, the thirst for drama and passion. Or is it just a way to escape from the routine of everyday life and add bright colors to life.

Be that as it may, everyone chooses for themselves whether to follow this path. It is only important to remember that deep pain and disappointment can be hidden behind temporary infatuation. And before plunging into this storm of emotions, it is worth asking the question: is the game worth the candle?
