Hi all,
My partner and I have recently decided to explore polyamory after three years of varying degrees of monogomy. We began down this road a year and a half ago with him finally admitting his desire to experience other women before committing long term to just one (something I'd suspected for a while but he had to find the courage to admit to himself).
As he explored explored this further, eventually sleeping with a friend I realised I was opening myself to closer emotional relationships with a couple of friends. Our relationship has always been better than my past ones in our ability to talk honestly even about other people we were attracted to - something that had ended two of my past relationships. In February we realised that we were both limiting ourselves to one aspect of polyamory and missing out on the other and agreed to give it a good try. We have since discussed a multitude of possible issues, likely relationship configurations and of course done a LOT of research. We probably would have go here sooner but for a friend in a rather toxic poly relationship with no communication and a queen bee putting us off.
I intend to do a bit more reading around before I post on our current situation but just wanted to say hi. I'm sure he'll register himself soon and join in too.
