Hey!
I've been pondering for a while about the ethics of monogamy and found that polyamory aligns much more closely with my values so I did as I usually do and started researching a bunch. Honestly, the more I read and learn, the more I'm interested in the lifestyle and the more frightening the first few steps become. I'm quickly starting to think that my ethics and my emotions need time to adjust to one another, so I started looking for poly meetups and/or support groups in my area but couldn't find any within the next month; hence, here I am!
Delving in to the research has been on the back burner for a while now, but a week or two ago I decided to finally get in to it after finishing my go-to book back then (Sapien, 9/10 would recommend) and started reading more than two. Currently in chapter 10, I'm loving it. The effects of that book are already being felt in major ways in my current relationship of 4 years.
I've come here to lurk around a bit and see if I can get some words from actual poly people who've been "on the scene" for a while now. I'm especially curious to how people got started and dealt with getting the first bit of momentum going.
Anyway, that's me and what I'm doing here. Looking forward to talking to you all
