Very new and open. :)

[nori]

Hello everyone!

I'm incredibly new to the entire world of polyamory. I guess I should say that I've known about it for a while, but I've just recently let myself in.

I'm at a very intense cross-roads in my life and I could really use some friends with whom I can safely discuss new things and who could help me navigate this new, and honestly very scary, world.

I married really, really young. Purity culture really did a number on me. Fortunately for me, the man I married turned out to be a really great person. Maybe I knew that, but I'm thinking it was probably just luck. We've been married for five years, and I'm still really young, but I'm finally brave enough to admit things about myself that I never could before.

I had been hinting with my husband for a few months that I am not really satisfied with our traditional marriage, and a couple of weeks ago I finally found the courage to ask about moving away from the traditional-ness of our marriage. He's been incredibly flexible and open, so here we are!

I have a lot more story to tell, but I'll save that for after the introductions. I'm so thankful that a resource like this exists!
