Why We Love Love Triangles (When They’re Done Right)



Love triangles might just be one of the most hotly debated tropes in romance. For every reader who’s all in on the tension, the angst, and the impossible choice, there’s another who avoids them like a secondhand heartbreak.

I get it—some love triangles feel like filler drama. A distraction. A guarantee that someone ends up broken. But when they’re done right? They’re not just compelling—they’re unforgettable.

Because the best love triangles aren’t about indecision. They’re about desire vs. duty. Comfort vs. chemistry. Who we were vs. who we’re becoming. They let us explore the complexity of human connection, the kind that doesn’t always fit in neat little boxes.

Personally, I love writing triangles that hurt—but not for the sake of pain. I love watching characters wrestle with real emotional stakes: “What if I love them both?” “What if choosing one means losing part of myself?” “What if they don’t want me to choose at all?”

And just maybe… not all triangles end in heartbreak. Some end in possibility.

If you’ve ever rooted for both love interests and secretly wished the story would take a very different turn—I think you’re going to love what’s coming next.
