Hi, I (we) are a married couple that has a pretty interesting (sucky) work schedule keeping us apart for a year at a time. We have tried to use this time wisely and try to get to know each other a lot better through emails etc while we are apart. The poly lifestyle is something that has come up several times in the last few years and we have agreed to look more into it.

We are both fairly submissive, with me being considerably more outgoing than him. We are really hoping to continue on our path of discovery and growth. We both struggled quite a bit in the beginning moving past "social views" and are def taking baby steps towards what we do to ensure we are comfortable with it all.

I was raised by a preacher, so I hid a great deal of who I was for years. He was a single child raised by a single mom and lacked communication skills to explain what he needed in his relationships. I am so relieved that we finally just decided to be ourselves. Its like a giant weight has been lifted and we can finally just enjoy ourselves. Please, feel free to ask anything... we will have questions as we learn, so bare with me. Thank you!

I hope Polyamory.com serves you well in terms of exploring polyamory and testing your comfort zones. Apart for a year at a time! That sucks. How long have you been married?
