If one was to engage as a rookie into polyamory. I know l have asked before? If you could condense the basic principles to start a polyamory journey, what would you build with? As there is so much information to process. I did enrol into a workshop. Which l should return to. Got disheartened by someone who didnt practise poly very well at all.
 
Hi Tania,
The four most basic principles in polyamory are:
  • Get mutual consent (from all involved parties).
  • Communicate.
  • Communicate.
  • Communicate.
Beyond that, I highly recommend you continue to read and post on this forum. Keep us updated on your evolving situation, and don't hesitate to ask any questions that may arise for you. Also return to that workshop, I am sorry you had a bad experience with someone who gives poly lip service. Don't give up yet.

Regards,
Kevin T.
 
Thanks Kevin
l am still curious bout polyamory. Perhaps l will engage with someone who follows through with the principles of poly.

Pretty much all of our regulars here, in successful long-term polyamorous relationships, "follow the principles of poly." It's a lot of ground to cover. Maybe you could ask a couple specific questions. Otherwise, check out our Golden Nuggets section for reading resources (articles, books, podcast), and older threads on specific topics.

 
Thanks again. I feel a tad emotionally fried. But l will look at some of the resources when my mind has settled. It's likely over-exposure. Polyamory will always prove intriguing. You members are like books, living resources.
 
Don't rush yourself, poly takes a long time to learn. We'll help in any way we can.
 
I wish l had known about polyamory 20 yrs ago. It would have been defining moment to have started a journey back then. I know age shouldnt define ones experience. It would be wonderful to have more than one person to love.
 
Try to be patient, with yourself and with the process. It takes a while.
 
Right -- try not to beat yourself up, you aren't doing anything wrong. It just takes time.
