Hello from a Long-lost Relative

I am in a de facto mono-partnership of ~7 years with a wonderful sovereign being- @DNK.

I have more interests than is reasonable for a single human (fermenting, gardening, education, DIY, mechanics, music, blah, blah, and blah) and have traversed the spectrum from music teacher to commercial chicken farmer.

As an outcome of an introverted nature and life experiences over the past few years, I (along with Don, fortunately) have become a practical hermit. It is a pattern that I want to adjust, so I am looking to develop community- more than I currently have anyway. This community could be small or large but must be of high quality and intention. I figure this community might be developed overtime by engaging within groups where interests intersect. Therefore, here I am!

Don and I talk about relationships, connections, and ways of interacting with others a lot. IDK if my vision aligns cleanly with polyamory, but it may be that long-lost cousin (more that weird uncle, likely).

So, thank you to the purveyors of this group and its members for accepting me. I look forward to a bit of conversation.
 
Greetings Kev,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Welcome to both of you! I think of Polyamory.com as a community (albeit an online community, not a meatspace one), so get your start here on interacting with poly folks! There may also be (a) local poly group/s near you, to start that search google "Polyamory" with the name of your state and/or nearest major city. Good luck and I hope you won't hesitate to post any thoughts, news, or questions!

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

Notes:

There's a *lot* of good info in Golden Nuggets. Have a look!

Please read through the guidelines if you haven't already.

Note: You needn't read every reply to your posts, especially if someone posts in a disagreeable way. Given the size and scope of the site it's hard not to run into the occasional disagreeable person. Please contact the mods if you do (or if you see any spam), and you can block the person if you want.

If you have any questions about the board itself, please private-message a mod and they'll do their best to help.

Welcome aboard!
 
What an interesting place to be in when finding us! What makes you think that you and your partner might vibe with polyamory? Are you exploring other non-monogamous options as well?

Thank you for the welcome, Kevin.

I do believe Polyamory.com is a community. In fact, I lurked a bit before joining and noticed that there are many here that have been active for many years. That was on my mind when deciding to join. Plus, I like the old-school forum set-up. :)

For now, we are steering clear of dating-centered groups, although, ironically, we met on OKCupid which seems like such a warehouse now in retrospect.

@kdt26417 alludes to this question too, so this answer is relevant to Kevin's welcome.

Polyamory is a collective which mirrors our proclivities and so a good place to seek community. What I think we share with Poly is a willingness to consider types of relationships which are reflections of the cast more so than a written script. I have some past related to Lifestyle if that is one option you are thinking of. Lifestyle isn't really our thing, but we have spent some energy in a few tantra temples which are more in tune with a desire to connect longer term or in ways beyond physical.
 

So this is your partner. Don is female and Kev is male, it seems. I was confused by the name Don being used by a female, but my own gov't name is also gender-ambiguous, so no tea no shade.

Welcome to the forum.

As for your reference to "Lifestyle," I assume by that you mean swinging?
