Hi,
I am really glad to have found this board, to get some questions answered and meet some other people in this life style as I don't really know many poly people in my area.

A bit myself, I've probably always been poly but just didn't know the name for it. Since I first started being interested in being in a relationship it has always been hard for me to imagine being in a monogamous relationship for the rest of my life. I figured that it was just nerves or fear of commitment and that I found the right person it would get better. I was raised in a very conservative family and was taught that monogamy was the only way to live, that anything else was wrong or "strange". I was even shamed or having gone out with so many people. Now, I have always been faithful and loyal to my partner but could never help wondering about being with other people even when in a happy relationship. It wasn't until recently that a friend mentioned that her and her boyfriend where in an open relationship and how much weight it took off their relationship being able to get different needs met by different people that I began to really. After that I began my first truly poly relationship and realized that this is exactly what I had been looking for.
 
Greetings duckfan38,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Seattle is something of a poly Mecca; google "Seattle polyamory" and multiple poly groups will probably pop up. You might also get good luck googling "Washington polyamory." I just don't know how many poly groups are meeting up right now with the pandemic.

It definitely sounds like polyamory is a natural fit for you. I'm glad you could join our site.

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

Notes:

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

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

I'll have to try those google searches. I feel like it really is something that I have been looking for. I'm sure the pandemic has really things
 
Let me know how the google searches turn out.
 
Thanks for letting me know; that's good to hear.
 
There is also a significant poly presence in Spokane as well, if you are in that part of the state.
