Hello everyone

[David22]

So introductions I guess.

My name is David, 31 years young and embarking on a completely new and a little daunting journey. After a long discussion and much debate on rules and boundaries, my fiancée have decided to open our relationship up to new experiences with others.

Admitantly the thought has sparked a whole new excitement between us and we have been more open with each other in the last few days then we have in years we've been together.

No problems you might be asking but I have brought myself here to seek advice and meet some likeminded online peeps for helping me out with areas I or we may have as we go forth with this big step. I might be up for it but I still have some concerns/fears over what may come of this.

Maybe a bit more than just a hello there but I ramble

We'll happy to offer advice and/or answer any questions you may have. The Poly Relationships Corner is a good place for getting plenty of feedback.

Good luck on your open/poly journey.

Hi David,

Welcome - I've only been here month or so myself but have already received lots of great input - both in direct response to my posts, and by reading existing posts that pertain to situations similar to mine - as well as some helpful private messages as well.

Welcome David! I'm also new here! I am married poly, which I would say is poly/mono right now, although I don't think my husband is opposed to another relationship.. I just don't think he really needs it. I think he's monogamous by nature anyway.

Glad to have you here!

Thank you guys. It has been an interesting change of our relationship but more for good than bad. We expected ups and down but being open about the feelings we are experiencing has helped manage any potential disasters from blowing up in our faces. Still very early days but my partner (Miss D) has been intimately seeing someone for about a week and we've handled it all surprisingly well for now. Made sure we have our family time (blessed with a 2 year old monster child), me and her time and time she can be with her new partner. I've had some green eyed monster moments (expected) and a couple of days where I've been a bit blue but overall I'm feeling excited about where this will take us. There have been so many helpful reads on here so far and I'm still doing a good search around to find a few more answers before I start poking about for advice but it feels like a good supportive group/community to be apart of. Happy to be here with you all
David

I'm glad to hear things are moving along well for you! Ups and downs are normal in any relationship, mono or poly, for many reasons. Handling them is what matters!
