Hi,
I'm Student, and I just joined this group and wanted to say hello. I will try to keep this brief, and then hope to get to know you all better as we go along.
I'm a 48 year old woman, currently in a three year relationship with my girlfriend, T.J. Prior to this relationship, I was exclusively heterosexual. T.J. has identified as lesbian for over 20 years.
We have been discussing the possibility of wanting to add a third member, a male, to our relationship for over a year now. Neither of us have any experience with this new type of relationship. T.J. is not joining this group at this time, just me.
My current goal is to educate myself about poly relationships, to meet people and learn from their experiences, and to perhaps find someone willing to act as an online mentor for this learning process. We have decided to give this learning journey a full year (2013) without taking any steps to meet anyone, or change our current situation. We want to be very sure that we have done everything possible to make educated choices, to be prepared as a couple, and to insure that we act respectfully, responsibly, and ethically toward anyone we might meet in the future.
Anyone who is willing to help me along the way would be greatly appreciated. Our primary concern is to cause no harm to anyone, and to move ahead only when we feel we have done everything possible to behave like decent human beings!
