    New in the realm of polyamory - looking for advice

    That's a very helpful way of looking at it - I think I understand now how the opportunities could exist among poly women, perhaps the way I was approaching the situation was still from the perspective of one who was still functioning within the mono mindset. Thank you for this input.

    New in the realm of polyamory - looking for advice

    New in the realm of polyamory - looking for advice

    Thank you to the two who have responded so far. I do feel that honesty/communication is a huge issue in general for maintaining this sort of relationship I also like the idea of thinking of allowing a partner to be with someone else as a gift - that's a helpful way of viewing the situation, I...

    New in the realm of polyamory - looking for advice

    I'll try to keep the background as brief as possible to avoid a "wall of text" introduction, but a bit of information is likely required for people giving me advice before I proceed to the actual questions I have. --Background-- I'm coming up on 28 years old, male, and have had a lifetime of...
