Hey. I'm Gray.

Female 37 living in Boise, Idaho.

I'm bi. Currently in my 1st polyamorous relationship with a guy friend I've known for a few years. He has a girlfriend. We know about each other.

This is my 1st polyamorous relationship. It feels good because there is a deeper understanding of being able to trust and be trusted.

Honestly, I feel sad for my previous relationships because there was so much ownership it literally felt like we owned each other and the cheating was frequent because we were afraid to tell the truth. I've got some healing to work through in that sense but it's made me be able to give my heart more openly.

I should have been polyamorous all along.
 
Greetings Gray,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

It's too bad polyamory isn't more well known in our society. A lot of people are square pegs (poly at heart) trying to fit themselves into a round hole (monogamy). You can't relive the past, but you can take steps to make sure your poly life is worthwhile in the present and future. One of those steps is to immerse yourself in Polyamory.com and ask questions as you go along.

Since this is your first poly relationship I'm sure there'll be a lot for you to learn; you can lean on this site to help you figure out the bumps in the road.

I'm glad you could join us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

I can relate to the ownership thing. Over the years I have become less and less of a jealous person until it vanished completely. There can be so much unnecessary drama in a monogamous relationship and it can be hard on us emotionally. This way, everyone is happy, and if they aren't then they can move on. :)
