Hi there Poly Folks!
I'm reading in quite a while now, ajd there are so many good threads which would have liked to join the discussion but couldnt due to not being registered,so today i eventually did.
As said and my nic might give away i'm based in Europe; i see that most of you are in North America, and it's great to see such a big and growing poly society over there,congrats! Unfortunately over here it's still in its infancy, and very much undercover,unknown and quite unwelcome even. Anway,that might be interesting for an own topic as this is the introduction section
I'm not here to find new partners,but to expand my knowledge what and how others live a poly life and cope wjth a mostly mono society.
I had not the pleasure yet to enjoy a true poly relationship with partners of the same mindset,but had experiences with other open poly couples,which showed me how nice it can work for others... But did I only realise/see online 4 years ago that poly is actually an own way of relationsship,which is great to know that it's growing. I'm male,straight,unhappy in a(nother) mono,long (4years) relationship, not feeling as i belong there. Live often goes different ways if someone is not making active decisions against or for something,and of course there is always the other persons agenda as well. And,as said,monogamy is very much ankered in wide parts of western society,except in some major big cities. It's unlikely to find similar minded possible partners in most parts of the "normal" population. I'm not saying this as an exuse for my unhappy relationship,but to describe what i experience,as i think it should be part of my introduction,to describe my current situation,opinion&mindset. Well,Everything starts with knowledge.
Am glad to be able to learn from you guys' experiences. Thanks to all here for sharing your experiences!
