Love Letters

Third wheeling has long had a bad reputation. If you’re a single person, you may have heard that hanging out with a couple makes you the odd person out.

But Meredith doesn’t believe that. She LOVES third wheels – and has third wheeled with plenty of couples.

In this episode, Meredith’s sister, Brette, explains how her social life, as a newly divorced person, involves hanging out with a bunch of wonderful couples. Brette says that being a third wheel has broadened her community and enriched her soul.

Meredith also interviews Brad and Marco, one of the couples for whom Brette third wheels. They explain why having a shared friend makes their relationship stronger.

Consider this episode a guide to being a platonic third, and a love letter to third wheels and the couples who truly believe “the more the merrier.”

We’re looking for your stories for the Love Letters podcast.

We love all tales of breakups, dating, love, and connection. But for a special upcoming series of the show, we’re looking for stories about COMMUNITY.

We want to hear about friends, special acquaintances, or the seemingly inconsequential human ties that make your life better.

We want to hear about important, platonic bonds you currently have, important bonds you’ve had (past tense), or meaningful bonds you’d like to form. Because significant others don’t have to be romantic … and sometimes having a strong non-romantic community makes it easier to find and maintain romantic love (if you want it).

Tell us your story by filling out our questionnaire at Boston.com/LoveLettersStory.

As always, thanks for listening and being a part of the Love Letters community.

We can also be reached with questions for the Love Letters advice column at [email protected].
