I've been polyamrous all of my life, though I didn't know it!

I had a long term relationship with a boyfriend in my 20's while at the same time was emotionally involved with my best friend - also a man, who I had very intimate feelings for but felt that I couldn't ever communicate with either of them about how wonderful they both were in my life. Once my boyfriend and I moved away from my best friend, our relationship fell apart because, I felt lost without my best friend. Looking back, there were conversations that I wish I had been emotionally brave enough to have with both of them.

Never finding a comfortable relationship through the following years, now 20 years later, I am still in an emotional relationship with my best friend and we have talked about being more open about the idea of polyamory. I never realized that this was happening with others and I am interested to know more about creating a polyamory relationship with him and others.
 
Greetings Skeeterific,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

Sounds like it's been a long journey for you, getting to the place where you could talk to your best friend about polyamory. Polyamory.com is a good place to go to get more information. There is a wide range of points of view here and a lot of collective wisdom. For myself, I try to follow the intro board closely (whenever I'm in town), so you can always ping me on this thread.

Let me/us know if you have any questions or whatnot.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

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

Thank you for the warm welcome

KDT26417,
Thank you, it is great to know that this is such a supportive and informative network!
Actually, it was my best friend who brought polyamory up to me. I was clueless that there was even a term for what I have been feeling. Now that I know, it's important to me to learn more and explore this. I really look forward to communicating with you and the rest of the group!
 
That sounds cool to me. :D
