Hello. First time here

[Oubliette]

I told my husband I wanted to open our relationship at the end of last year. I oy really hard the intention of casual sex with others. We have talked a lot, read a lot, and are seeing a therapist.
Last week I ended up connecting with someone sexually, and now it's obvious to everyone involved that I want more of a relationship with him. So, more talking, reading, therapy. My husband is having a much harder time about it.

Currently reading More Than Two, and one of the suggestion the book was to find a poly community, so I guess that's why I'm here!

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

You're definitely doing all the right things for getting started on polyamory and open relationships. When you get done reading More than Two, you might want to follow up with the book, "Opening Up: a guide to creating and sustaining open relationships," by Tristan Taormino. As far as Polyamory.com is concerned, the thing to do is to explore the site and see what threads call to you, and to post any questions or concerns you might have.

Sorry to hear your husband is struggling with it. That often happens. About all you can do is continue reading, talking, meeting with your therapist, and participating here on this site. Franklin Veaux has a Poly FAQ page that might help.

I'm glad you could join us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
