Polyamory
Hi all 
I've been polyam for 12 years, and I've finally started taking a more active role in sharing my story to spread the love! I work as a writer, and now that I have more access to big publications like Insider and Huffpost, I'm trying to reduce stigma by sharing my reasonably-boring but also very sweet love stories. I live with my husband and we have had a non-monogamous relationship for our entire marriage.

Basically - the "life story" is that my husband and I met way back at university, and non-monogamy made way more sense to us than monogamy. I consider myself polyamorous, not just non-monogamous, but my husband and I had some tough periods of trying to figure out how the relationship should actually work, and how to have additional relationships that actually functioned logistically (we have small children).
I heard about an editor at Insider who was looking for positive / happy-ending LGBTQ+ and non-traditional relationship stories, so I decided to share mine with a larger audience. The article (there) contains the whole story of how I met my girlfriend, who was another mother at my kids' kindergarten. We became friends, fell in love, and things went from there ....
It is all such a joy to explore!
