Hey y'all.
I've been lurking for a few weeks and figured it was high time that I introduce myself.
I'm Capable. I'm a mid-20's midwesterner. I don't "do" labels, but I guess I'll claim the label heteroflexible. I've been married to my husband for just over two years. I let him know early on in our dating life that I don't "do" monogamy, and we've had a hall pass/swinging agreement since we began dating.
I never thought I'd find myself perusing polyamory, but the more I think about it the more it makes sense. I'm naturally a very outgoing, nurturing, caring person who wears my heart on my sleeve, and I've always lived by the motto that the heart is capable of infinte love.
The husband and I have had many conversations about our comfort level with moving from being physically open but emotionally monogamous to a true poly situation, and I think we are finally at the point where he is comfortable with the fact that I want to love my lovers.
He has absolutely no interest (at this time) in an emotional relationship with anyone else, but I have zero issues if someone comes into his life that he wants to love fiercely and deeply.
Currently it's just the two of us, and we haven't been intimate with others since before our marriage- simply due to a lack of time and no real desire. However over the past month I've found myself talking to a gentleman I formerly worked with (We'll call him Mac). He's recently divorced and has just started dating again. We've made plans to get together when I'm next in his town (he lives several states away) with an unspoken understanding that we'll probably end up hooking up. He knows that the hubs and I have an open marriage, and he's still wrapping his head around that. He doesn't know that I've been talking with hubs about allowing myself to become emotionally involved with others.
I have a feeling that at most Mac and I will be FWB, but I'm just looking forward to seeing where this goes.
