This is called the “Bro’s mate” and was widely used in the early 1800’s.

It was widely used up until roughly the 1990s. Then they just came out and admitted to being in a monogamous relationship, as it was more publicly acceptable by then.

It is now protected under the SCOTUS decision in the Obergfell case.
