Hi, I'm new to the community, but I was looking for a place to share my story and get support in a (maybe) tricky situation of mine:
I've always been monogamous, even if for several reason my best friend doubted it for a while. Now, I'm in love with a married woman, and we are thinking of coming out to her husband. She says she still loves him, and she hopes the three of us will be able to manage a polyamorous relationship. I'm hopeful about that, mainly because I don't want her to suffer being coerced to choose between me and him; on the other side, I'm worried, because in Italy polygamy and poly couples in general are not accepted, not by the law, not by society, and we will never be able to expose our relationship: the chances are highly in favour of the fact that I will be a secret for the rest of my life, 'cause I'm not institutionalised. How can I cope with this fear of mine? Do you know others in my same position?
