Long time lurker, first time poster!

[hollyhock]

Hi everyone,

I’ve found this forum to be such a valuable & kind source of wisdom and knowledge and wanted to jump in as my partner (trans woman, 40) and I (nb femme, 32) wander further into the waters of polyamory. We are long distance— I’m based in Canada and she’s based in the US (where I used to live and where we met). We are both queer.

I consider myself to be monoromantic (haha autocorrect tried to change this to monomaniac) but interested in being sexually enm. My partner “Aliyah” considers herself poly.

I’ve been doing a lot of reading and self-reflecting as she’s been starting to see/hang out with a crush and was hoping to join the forum & restart therapy to sort out my own feelings. I’m already really appreciating all of the strong relational & communication tools I’ve developed from this past year of exploring what being poly & enm has looked like.

Looking forward to joining and connecting with you all!
