I think Monica may be onto something here. Most of the reports we have on how the incarnation process works suggests that clusters of entities do tend to stick together from life to life - but that doesn't mean they'd necessarily have the same interpersonal relationships in each life. I could easily see there being a lot of conflicting emotions arising, especially when combined with the various social distortions of 3D life.
And on the original topic, I've also witnessed multiple poly relationships and they rarely seem to work out well, at least from the human perspective. It's not impossible, of course, but it's far harder for humans to maintain stable 3+ person relationships because of the added complexity of the interpersonal interactions. Three is the number of complexity, after all. We really don't have the language to properly describe or model the interactions between ANY three (or more) bodies, whether we're talking planets or people, so it's not terribly surprising that folks have difficulty stabilizing such relationships.
