My husband and I just opened our marriage and I'm more interested in being polyamorus vs just screwing around. The thought of having a boyfriend on the side is exciting, but scary because I've never really done the dating scene as an adult.

I joined this site because I need advice, but I'll find the proper thread to post that to.
 
Hi Karen,

Welcome to the forums! I'm relatively new here myself, but I've found that many of the experienced polyamorists on this board often give some very insightful advice.

I recently tried to open my marriage and it didn't go well. I've since been wondering why some people open their marriages and it works and for others it doesn't work. There's likely to be many factors involved but more and more I think a strong factor would have to be how healthy the original monogamous relationship is. After all, if you can't do one relationship well, how can you do two?

Anyway, I posted a new thread yesterday about a relationships vulnerability quiz. If you and your husband have time, I was wondering if you would give the short quiz a go and let me know if you felt it useful or not. The quiz wasn't originally designed for polyamory, but I think it is helpful to newcomers to this forum. Your feedback would help me to refine it and make it more useful.

Thanks Karen. And a warm welcome to the forums,
Shaya.
 
Greetings Karen,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I looked at your other thread, and replied there briefly. I guess my take on dating is to warm up to things.

I'm glad you're here,
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Notes:

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

Note: You needn't read every reply to your posts, especially if someone posts in a disagreeable way. Given the size and scope of the site it's hard not to run into the occasional disagreeable person. Please contact the mods if you do (or if you see any spam), and you can block the person if you want.

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

Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome to the Forum, Karen - and best of luck on your poly journey. Al
