Hey there! Just another poly newb here.
Some background,
My wife (28) and I (28) have known each other since high school. We have now been in a monogamist relationship for 7 years, married for 3. We have two daughters, our oldest who I officially adopted in Feb. is 9, and our youngest is 2.
A few months ago we had a discussion in which we both agreed that things were becoming common place and slightly boring. We tried to "Spice things up" a bit and it was helping but not much. Recently my wife has found another guy who she is becoming interested in. So we opened up the discussion of becoming poly. She has always liked the idea, feeling that as humans we weren't meant to be monogamist. I have never been apposed to it, just hadn't much reason to push into it.
We have brought the other guy into the discussions and he seems to agree with most of our desires and we agree with his as well. I understand the concept of the "Unicorn Hunter" and we are trying to avoid that however we are starting things off more or less hierarchical with my wife and I as the primary and him as the secondary. I like this guy, we get a long, we are actually a lot alike, and so far I trust him.
This weekend we are having him over to stay with us and get to know this relationship we are building a little better and for him and my wife to have a chance to get a little more intimate than they have been so far.
That's about it on the background really. I think. lol
I am here in hopes of finding advice when I need it as well as general conversation with other like minded people. I know that I have a huge change in my path and it will take some work getting used to it and learning to enjoy it as I hope we do.
I would love any advice or discussion you feel to offer up.
Looking forward to being a part of the forum and learning from those that have been a part of this for a longer period than myself.
Thanks everyone!
