Hello all,
I am very new, so I'm just going to jump in! I first learned about polyamorous relationships about a year ago, and I felt very intrigued and connected to this relationship style a lot. However, I have only ever had monogamous relationships, and I am currently in a two-year monogamous relationship, with a partner whom I love very much. Unfortunately, he is very hesitant to try an open relationship, so I have not pursued any other relationships at this time. Another part of our predicament is the fact that we are currently in a long-distance relationship, which puts extra strain on our relationship. I know he has a lot of fears about opening our relationship, and has expressed fears about not being "enough" for me - which is not how I feel at all! I am just interested in pursuing an alternative to monogamy. Does anyone have any insights or advice for me? Should I try talking to him about this more, or should we stay in a monogamous relationship?
