One out of Three trying to learn more

[Clirkus]

Hey, so a little about me. I’m a 22 year old woman in a closed triad relationship with two other people (boyfriend and girlfriend, respectively). We’ve been together for a little over two months and a poly relationship is very new to all of us. Still, we care a lot about each other and want it to work (hopefully) long term.

I joined this forum because I’m new to the lifestyle and I want to learn more and hear about other’s experiences, and maybe occasionally ask for advice. This is actually the first serious relationship I’ve ever been in and due to my lack of experience, as well as being the youngest in the triad, I sometimes struggle to understand the ins and outs of everything. I am open to constructive criticism and I would like to learn as much as possible.

I look forward to talking to you all ٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

Welcome. Were your new partners already an established couple when you took up with them?

If so, read around here and on the web on "couples privilege" to make sure you aren't being taken advantage of. Often the HBB (hot bi babe, that's you) Unicorn is treated unfairly in a triad with an established couple.

Actually we formed the relationship all together. I was close with both of them before they met and everything just kind of clicked when we were all together so we decided to make our relationship officially a triad.
