Hi all! My husband and I are new to this. We just recently started a poly relationship with a good friend of ours and it has been amazing. We are communicating well, be honest about how we all feel, she moved in with us and things are going great. My question is, how long do we wait to tell family and how do we go about it? Kinda nervous about family's reaction.

Greetings Wifey121,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.
Here's a great video about coming out (to your family): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJ-8ocmtb_8
I would not wait long to tell your family, although others would disagree with me. You have to figure out what works best for you, in your situation. It sounds like you have a really great (MFF) triad, I am glad you could join us.
Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter"

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

How long have you 2 been with your new person? (Kevin assumed you're a MFF triad, but for all I know you're 2 guys and a woman, or 3 guys.) If you're sure they are definitely going to be a long term partner, that will impact your decision to come out. If it's been of less than a year's duration so far, you might want to wait and see how things work out. Maybe, maybe not.
If you're determined to continue to practice polyamory, whether this triad actually works out long term or not, that will also impact your decision. (Triads rarely work out long term. V's are more stable.)
Coming out all depends on many factors. We have many many threads here on the subject. You can do a search for "coming out."
