New here, wasn’t born yesterday.

[Matcha Matcha Man]

Hello,
I’m a male person in a long term (12 years +) relationship with my female partner. We met under decidedly non-monogamous circumstances and so our relationship has been open from the start. However we are only recently starting to define it as polyamorous - previously we were keeping other connections in the “just sex” or FWB categories. I have had previous experience with poly, but without as much definition and intentionality as I think most people here practice. I have also had monogamous relationships as well as monogamish ones. My partner has no previous experience with poly, having been a serial monogamist until about a year before we met.
I’m joining here now because I’m looking to see how others are negotiating poly with their partners.

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

There isn't a lot to say about how I negotiate poly with my partners, the three of us have been together for a long time and we have just sort of found our groove. I can of course answer any questions you may have. It sounds like you have some poly experience, and may even be able to help others here on these boards. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy, explore our various threads. Glad to have you with us.

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"
