Hi everyone. I'm 33, and was in a monogamous relationship with the man who is also my 7-year-old son's father for almost 12 years (we never married, but were engaged for most of the relationship.) That ended amicably early last year, and I began to date again casually last summer. At that time, I wasn't ready for a serious relationship, and most of my encounters were based on sex and kink... both things I did not have much or any of respectively in my monogamous LTR with my son's dad.
Last autumn, I met a wonderful man and we began seeing each other. He is polyamorous; I am open to polyamory, especially in theory... but this is my first time actually being in a romantic relationship with a polyamorous partner. There have been some ups and downs... but we communicate well and it's been far more ups lately as I learn more and temper my visceral emotional reactions with what I am learning.
During this time, I've often wondered if I can really be polyamorous myself. As a kinky woman with a high libido, I am personally very happy having sex with others, but wonder if my heart has the ability to be in a loving, romantic relationship with more than one person at a time... or even if I have the desire to love more than one person romantically at a time.
So that's I'm here to read other people's experiences, to continue to learn about polyamory, to meet likeminded people and friends.
