That sounds vey personal, so you should be more specific about what you want to deal with. As far as I can tell, nobody here will say you are wrong for wanting monogamy. The habits that will make you a good partner are universal to poly, and mono.
I agree but there’s so many acronyms and different categories that were unaware of. Different “lifestyles” follow different boundaries and rules. Her and between are confident in OUR relationship which is why we are discussing between ourselves about venturing out. But like I said, we’re educating ourselves before jumping in head first without prior research of things we may not have thought of and ends up causing issues. We feel sometimes asking questions sometimes brings up new thoughts and feelings
Hi and welcome. Polyamory practiced well can be very successful. Beginning the process can be quite the maze though.
Check out the two sticky threads in this forum (poly relationships corner) and see if any of the particular things mesh with your queries, then feel free to ask some slightly more specific questions to get more personalized feedback.
The book Opening up (link in the advice master thread) can be very useful to show a number of different scenarios.

This is all new but something and unfamiliar between us two so simple as that information could be the start of us fully understanding our individual and together wants and such. So thank you for the starting point and appreciate the time

If you prefer audio to books, try the Multiamory podcast. Their website even has a starter section, which includes one on whether poly is right for you (also a transcript, if you prefer to read it). Will second Opening Up, and add Designer Relationships if you do like books. LOTS of sources in the master thread.
Hello Jrakk,
I would be happy to answer any questions you may have, just let me know what they are. You might want to read the book, "Eight Things I Wish I'd Known about Polyamory (before I tried it and frakked it up)," by Cunning Minx. Also our glossary thread may be helpful to you.
Regards,
Kevin T.

Good idea to gather information or read threads and blog post to get an idea of the issue people face.
BAD IDEA thinking or treating it as an experiment. Lots of newbie couples greatly overestimating their love or bond only to watch their relationship implode / explode. These bells can’t be unrung. Smartest way of approaching this is looking at the old relationship or marriage as dead and you‘re building a completely new and different structure in the same location …salvaging an old door or window here or there. And it’s not a drill it’s real …all the chips are on the line.

Instead of asking for one person to provide general information (no one has time for that), feel free to search any terms that you are most interested in. Read the new threads. Start a thread yourself in Poly Relationships to ask specific questions!
