Elfwing,
Yeah, they call that "polyfidelity". I was in a polyfidelitous triad for three years. It was just the three of us (and our son), we all lived together, we were all married to each other (not legally, of course) and we didn't have any relationships outside the triad. It worked pretty darn well for a while, and when it finally did end, it wasn't for reasons intrinsic to polyamory itself.
I'll tell you one thing, though, adding another person to a relationship doesn't just double the need for communication, it makes it increase exponentially.
