Just wanted to say hi after reading the forums for a couple of days. This seems like a very thoughtful and compassionate place.

I'm sorta newly married and consider our marriage "open." I probably tend more toward monogamy, but don't like feeling hemmed in when it comes to relationships — hence the "open" part. In other words, I like having freedom and options that I may or may not ever partake of.

My hubs is a very free person who wants to explore all kinds of relationships. We're both very much in love and curious to learn more...
 
Hello qwerty2019, and welcome to the forum!

So, may I ask, what does the word "open" mean to you in this context. It seems to mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people. For some, an "open relationship" is open to sexual relating with others but not the forming of strong, important emotional bonds -- for example.
 
Greetings qwerty2019,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

It sounds like you and your husband are very open-minded people. I am glad you have enjoyed this site so far, let us know if you have any questions.

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

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

Well you are newly married and there's no emergency. It's a thing to talk over and think about.

We spent three years I guess, not knowing where it was going but taking small steps.

Never breaking an agreement, but shucks that was pretty darned easy 'cuz my wife was letting me have a girlfriend! Is this a trick? This is being a good boy?

It doesn't get old hearing people say be clear and honest in your communications. It's a team effort, everybody agreeing.

A good deal of people come to a place like this with train wrecks already having happened. It is a lot better not to get into one in the first place. So reading literature and learning about it is good on you.
