When I met my soon to be husband, I already knew I wouldn’t feel fulfilled with one person for the rest of my life. He had traditional monogamous values and was convinced I would feel the same one day. At the time, I didn’t know what poly was and just thought there was something wrong with how I loved. We got married and a few years into it I learned about polyamory. Then, everything made sense. He thought it was just a phase. I would mention it a little here and there until a few years ago, when we had a serious conversation about it. And guess what?! It all made sense to him too!

We haven’t ‘come out’ to anyone other than two trusted family members. We live in a small town with no apparent poly community. I’m here to grow and learn more :)
 
Hi there!

I am new here also, but wanted to say that your situation sounds very similar to mine. My wife and I just had the discussion about her polyamorousness a few days ago, and I also have been trying to be accepting and understanding of it as a monogamous partner.

Sounds like you are lucky to have someone who is accepting of it, as it can be very difficult for us monogamous types to understand and deal with. I am glad to see that a few years in things are still going well for you.

Regards,
 
Greetings Arallyn,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Glad to hear your husband has recently been accepting of your poly nature. I hope that having this poly community will help you figure things out along the way. Just let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Welcome, Arallyn,

I've only been here a few months myself - but have found almost everyone to be very friendly and welcoming - lots of sound advice and solid information. It's good to hear both of you are starting off open to poly - that should definitely help you get off to a solid start.

Best,

Al
