Looking for a Community

[BunnyLove]

Hello all I'm a 36 year old cisgender, heteroflexible, female, living in southern California.

My primary relationship is my 4 children Other than that, I am currently separated from my spouse, but continuing to nest as co-parents. I have a boyfriend whom I'm exploring DD/lg roles with, although, that does not define or limit our relationship.

I am very new to poly and have so far discovered relationship anarchy to be my preference, with a splash of polyfidelity.

I am looking for community to learn from. I also give great advice I've been following a few facebook pages, but find most people post on there to complain about how partners have wronged them. That's not my style. I want to grow in a positive environment. I understand it's not always rainbows and sunshine, but it should always be thoughtful and in good taste.

Normally wouldn't comment on a welcone post being so new, but "looking for a community" resonated with me since that's why I'm here too. Hope we both find a good one here.

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

You might enjoy Poly Vignettes: Sharing Success & Happiness, it definitely favors the positive side of poly. Also Life stories and blogs might be a good board for you to visit, it's a good wholesome balance of the good and the bad. As you said, thoughtful and in good taste. We do get quite a few people who visit the forum for the express purpose of getting some help (advice, support) with some problem or other that they're having with their poly relationship. People who are satisfied with their poly relationship often don't bother with a forum like this one, but the people who blog here tend to be well-balanced in how things are going in their lives. Anyway, have a look around, and let us know if you have any questions.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"

Notes:

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

Hello!

New here as well! And I did come here looking for a community too! I closed my Facebook account recently, and thus left behing the poly-group I was in.

most people post on there to complain about how partners have wronged them.

I thought the same today, and I was glad to see the answer linking to Poly Vignettes: Sharing Success & Happiness. See you there!

Hey, welcome! Primary relationship with kids... Hadn't thought of it that way before but it makes sense.

Hope you find connection to community here. I definitely did. I like the Life blogs section for an intimate look into people's thoughts and lives. For an online forum, it's quite immersive to me. I'd agree with Kevin that most of the blogs there are well-balanced accounts of real life journeys whether solo, V etc

Look forward to seeing you around!
