Well, actually- yes! The LTT/Rand thing IS creepy.

Do you think it is creepy, that Robert Jordan melt Rand al'Thor and LTT personalities into some sort of hive-mind husband of , and (tGS, 50, Veins of Gold) ?
He has an insane, long-dead man who accidentally killed his family and destroyed the world in his head, constantly threatening to, at best, merge with his personality (at worst, take it over completely).
It's EXTREMELY creepy, and it's meant to be so. Consider everyone's reactions to Rand whenever he accidentally slips into Lews Therin mode. He's constantly laughing to himself, or randomly flying into rages, or demonstrating knowledge that he just. shouldn't. have. There are only a handful of people in the world who aren't terrified of him to some extent.
Think what it would be like if some ancient warlord suddenly appeared in your brain. Yes, you might learn some cool new fighting moves, but you also would constantly be battling to keep your personality from being erased.
The problem with your theory of the three wives is, that Dragon expects Iliena to be alive: "If I live again, then she might as well!" She could only be one, integrated person, not a monster with three heads or a collective name for Dragon's harem.
1. Lews Therin was insane, and he and Rand were looking for a reason not to just commit suicide right then and there.
2. There is absolutely no reason to think that Ilyena and Lews Therin had the kind of eternal, constantly reborn love that, say, Birgitte and Gaidal Cain have.
3. If Ilyena was reborn, and is one of Rand's three women, that would put her at a tremendous advantage. "Oh, Min, Aviendha, Elayne, I love all of you equally! The three of you are the lights of my life! Oh, by the way, Elayne- you and only you have been reborn eternally and we always find each other and fall in love."
So, no- that's not going to happen. Especially since your main justification for the theory is, "Polygamy's evil!"
I amuse myself.

It was stated explicitly that the third person is Moridin.

Wrong again. Pages 235-236 in The Gathering Storm are very clear about this.

Nowhere does it state that Moridin is the third. Just one of EIGHT people in Rand's head.

But readers get the filtered bits and pieces. The characters have access to whole reams of works.
