Help me score my cribbage hand

Question

In Cribbage, my hand was 2,2,2,5 and the cut card was a 3.  I wanted to use the cut card with each of my twos for a count of five and subsequently one 15 for two points.
I thought the hand should have been 6 points for the three 2's plus 2 points for one 15 (2h+3, 2s+3, 2c+3= 15) however my partner said thats wrong.
Who is right?

Your partner is correct.
The cut card is "just" another card for your hand for almost all aspects of scoring except flushes and knobs.  So, given a 3, 2, 2, 2, 5 you can score no 15's, and your hand score is 6 for the three 2's.
