Hello

[Threeheartsonebed]

Hello fellow poly peeps!


I am proudly part of a poly triad. My husband and I both date our girlfriend. We have been together for 8 months now. She and her 10 month old daughter moved in about 3 months ago joining my husband, myself and out 2 year old son.

this is our first poly relationship and hopefully our only. It was a rough start, transitioning from mono to poly and adapting to the new routine of a larger family in the house. However, all of the hard work paid off!!!

I am so excited to be a part of this forum. I think one of the hardest things for me right now is not having a poly support system to turn to for advice. My monogamous friends just don't quite get it.

Greetings Threeheartsonebed,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Poly being unusual in the eyes of the mono-normative social order, you kind of need a site like Polyamory.com to lend you the support and understanding that your monogamous friends can't supply. I am glad you found us, and hope we can answer any questions you may have.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"

A warm welcome to you, Threehearts,

I'm pretty new myself and I've found the more senior members on this forum have some deep insight and amazing life experiences to draw upon to help those like us.

Can I just clarify that the none of the three of you have ever done non monogamy before? No swinging? No Don't Ask Don't Tell arrangements? No 100-mile rule? No poly?

And also just to clarify the terminology - by triad, all 3 of you have emotional and sexual relations, including you and her?

A warm welcome regardless. Kevin has some good resources above.
