Point taken! But I feel like I haven't seen much of that scenario (I'm thinking here of published fiction, rather than fanfic).
Like kindkit, perhaps (kindkit, correct me if I'm not representing you well), my frustration comes from the fact that human relationships are presented as a reductive, winner-take-all situation, where it's not just that three people can't fall in love, but that the entire scenario of falling in love (or lust) becomes schematic. Also, I always want the heroine to get together with her friend, rather than either of the two dashing young men presented as the only options! M.
