    Irena's poly adventures

    I decided it's time to blog here, since I don't want to put all my stories out on my regular blog. So here it is, my poly world as it currently stands!

    I'm looking for general advice, perspectives, related stories here. I'm in a very happy poly relationship with my fiancé, and we've also been dating another couple for the last couple of months which has been going great.

    New to everything

    Hi! I've popped in and lurked here a few times, decided it was time to introduce myself and maybe start posting. I'm involved with a poly guy who I started seeing several months ago... he's rebounding hard off a year-long relationship, so I didn't know how far my involvement with him was going...
