Default Introducing polyamory to a relationship

Hi guys, apologies if you have seen these questions a hundred times already.

so basically I think polyamory is the way forward for me and my girlfriend.
however these are the potensial issues I am thinking of.

1) we are both young (23 and 24) and her social conditioning is very conservative. She comes from a very rural area with a catholic upbringing. So even though we have had conversations about polyamory and even though I know she might like the idea it worries me that she will never fully accept it.

2)although she has a gay friend that is in a poly relationship and has talked about how great she thinks it is, im not sure how serious to take this. hetro relationships are different right? what if i offend her by being comfortable with her sleeping with other men/women. I mean she might not think I care about her?

3)i know that although men and women are not natuarally monogamous and i think i am quite comfortable with that fact what happens if i feel differently after she has started to have other partners? whats done will then be done.

any thoughts would be much appreciated.
