"I think you meant "love triangle.""

Could be, but I used triage because I was thinking of NASA deciding which one(s) to fire before it got out of hand, because I cannot believe that NASA did not know about this. Which would have been the same as a triage in a health situation. Sorry.

The phrase you were looking for may have been menage a trois. I wouldn't be too embarrassed about not having that one in your "common usage" vocabulary. I was an English minor in college or I wouldn't have either. :-D
