Hi all! I'm brand new to both polyamory and polyamory.com. I just wanted advice or to least talk to folks who get it since my SO and I are not out to our friends.
To provide some backstory, my husband and I decided to try polyamory a couple of months ago. Once I got the "okay" from him to start dating I quickly found a guy online who I meshed well with (he's also poly and married). The last few months have been a roller coaster to say the least. At this point we've said we consider each other bf/gf. I keep getting carried away with the NRE and the relationship keeps getting more serious. I'm not sure how ready I am for a serious relationship as this is my first poly relationship. I'm also challenged by how much he shares about his relationship with his wife without considering that this is so new for me. I know that a major part of polyamory is working through jealously but I don't really want to know about all the things they do together. He likes to tell me EVERYTHING about his life and I feel like it's been harder to set-up boundaries the further along we go down the serious relationship path. Again, I don't even know if I want a LTR, I've only known this person a couple of months.
Advice on how to set-up boundaries after they've been crossed?
