I Am Polyamorous

This coming Friday marks a month since I've entered my first polyamorous relationship. The man I'm dating is someone I actually met in highschool eight years ago. He has other girlfriends while I am not dating anyone else. Most of the other girls are long-distance except for the one he lives with. Who has actually become one of my closest friends. We love to hang out and go do things. I am perfectly fine with him seeing other women, but I have to admit it's still takes some getting use to in other areas. In the end I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. As long as he remains honest my love for him won't change much. Not even the criticism of others phases me.

It's tough but great if you all can make it work. It would be better for you if you were also involved with others or the woman he lives with. It sounds like you are monogamous and he is polyamorous.

@GJOFJ3 I don't really see myself as monogamous. At the moment I'm just not looking for other partners. With my social anxiety it's hard enough to make friends haha. He makes me happy and is a good man, to me that's all that matters.

It can be a lot of work at times, especially during the times when you aren't seeing anyone else but he is. But good, open, and honest love can be worth the effort. I've been in a polyamorous relationship for 7 years now. Similar case of her seeing someone else though I'm not, more from a sense of shyness and not getting out there than lack of desire. I do a fair bit of online flirtation though.

Welcome to the lifestyle.

@ViciDraco Thank you! It's always reassuring to know others understand.
