There is a difference in your point of view, depending on your position in the love triangle. There are three parties in a love triangle and their roles are different. If you are one of the competitors, there is a difference if you are the husband/wife or the lover. If you are the husband/wife (or the long-term partner) you certainly feel that an invader is trying to steal your precious one. If you are the lover, you are in a position in which you are challenging the husband/wife, hoping that their relationship is over and now your time has come. Very often this is exactly the case – their relationship is dead and only a small sparkle is necessary to ignite the fire. Well, maybe this sparkle is you.

The third party in the love triangle has the major role. Two rivals are competing for his or her love. Many people might envy you but probably you know better how does it feel. In many cases, unless one of the rivals gives up or switches his or her affection to somebody else, it is up to you to turn the love triangle into a normal couple.

This is pretty easy, if you are willing to. For people who are determined to take charge of their life, the love triangle is not a natural state of things, or at least not for a long period of time. Usually people who are indecisive by nature and are easily manipulated fall into a love triangle and stay there for a long time.

If you are to choose between two incredible candidates, the choice is tough. But quite often people can't choose between a loser and a dream girl/boy. Sounds incredible to you? Just look around and you will see so many couples that are simply unbelievable. Not to mention those cases when good boys and girls choose bad partners. And the worst is that even if they have a better offer, they stick with their incredible choice. Yes, you can call them losers because no matter how many chances they are given, they will always miss them.

So, what to do if you are in a love triangle? As probably you guess, there is no universal prescription. What is more, a decision that is good for one love triangle is an absolute suicide in another. If you are one of the competitors, basically you have two choices – either fight or flight. But be prepared that it will not be a fair play, so think if it makes sense to participate in the fight. Well, if you really love the object of dispute, maybe you should fight, instead of giving up but remember that you are hardly the party in control. If you are the challenger, remember that even if you win, you will always be second – or at least until the first one is forgotten, which might never happen at all.

As you probably guess, the party who must solve the love triangle is the object of dispute. And if this is you, you'd better do it fast then wait for ages. If you are indecisive and can't make up your mind what to do, the love triangle might last forever. There are so many cases, when it takes years for somebody to choose between two and decide what to do. While it is painful to leave a person you love, keeping in between two or sharing your love with somebody else is certainly much worse, so don't turn the love triangle into a life-time agony. It is much better to turn it into a normal couple and go ahead.
