Greetings Margaret,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.
There is a book you may want to read, it is called, "Sex at Dawn: how we mate, why we stray, and what it means for modern relationships," by Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá. It looks at nonmonogamy from a different perspective, a new perspective, a perspective that has not prevailed in our very monogamous world for thousands of years. It may help you see polyamory as more of a good thing, than what your monogamous conditioning has trained you to believe.
It is not easy to feel good about polyamory, I know, I wasn't ready to embrace it until years after I realized that true morality is centered around mutual consent. Polyamory is multiple romantic relationships with the consent of all of the involved parties. There's that word -- consent.
I hope Polyamory.com can help you.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
