hi! call me cooper; i'm from around the atlanta area. i'm not new to poly, per se -- i've been in a functioning v for coming up on five years. that anniversary's in april!

i'm a 25m, and my partners are m, a 25m and a, a 21m. i've never referred to them as primaries or secondaries -- i recognize the functionality of using those terms, but they always felt awkward to me, but i live with one, m (25m), and the other, a (21m) is long distance, currently going to school in the philly area. i own a darling cat, and spend too much time talking about star wars. i'm a psych major pursuing my bachelor's at the moment, and still trying to figure out exactly what i want to do after.

i've never been very involved in other poly communities, not for lack of desire, but because i was unsure of where to start; i guess this is as good a place as any! while i've been in a functioning poly relationship for some years, i still consider myself pretty new to the practice as a whole, and i'm still tripping up and making newbie mistakes as i navigate my way through this, so i'm hoping to learn some things while i'm here for the sake of being a better partner and hinge, and also to maybe make a few friends along the way.

so...here i am! hello everyone! i'm looking forward to being here!

- cooper. x

hi leetah! thank you for the welcome!

i really appreciate the direction; i've been trying to skim through some of the more popular threads to make sure i don't ask anything too similar to something that's already been brought up. it's so refreshing to see so many like-minded people! x

Hi Cooper - and welcome to the Forum. As I just wrote another welcome - We do have a nice poly community here - with a good number of experienced poly folks. So, please don't hesitate to jump right in with any thoughts or questions that you may have - the General Poly Discussion and Poly Relationships Corner sections are both quite active.

And as Leetah pointed out - there are over a quarter million archived posts here spanning almost ten years of poly experience - so do take advantage of the search functions.

Best of luck on your journey - and may the Force be with you! Al
