MANCHESTER— Twin brothers were arrested on New Year’s Eve after they fought over whose turn it was to have sex with the girlfriend they shared, police said Thursday. Aric Ryan Hale and Sean Peter Hale, both 28, have an open dating relationship with a 27-year-old woman. She told police she is sexually intimate with each brother, “depending on who she chooses to be with that particular day,” police spokesman Capt. Christopher Davis said. The three were in a local hotel when Sean Hale asked his brother to leave the room so and he and the woman could have sex, Davis said. Aric Hale refused and the two started swinging punches at each other and trashing the room, Davis said.

What’s that old expression? The best laid schemes of mice and men often go awry? Well I certainly think that applies here. Because on the outside sharing your girlfriend with your twin brother seems like a brilliant idea. I’m sure it’s all gum drops and candy canes 99% of the time, but it’s the Holidays that get you. New Year’s Eve, Valentines Day, Halloween etc. Days you want to be intimate with your loved one. Like you don’t put in all those boyfriend man hours during the year only to be shut out when the ball drops. That’s going to lead to a fight 100% of the time. And I know what you’re thinking. Why not just have a threesome? Umm bro because that would be weird.
