I imagine it would be like starting a normal relationship just being honest what yous want from the start and taking steps slow. I imagine there are a few open minded people on here who would have considered it

most fundamental aspects

Before you start looking for possible secondaries, have lots of. honest and open conversations between you.

What do each of you have as non negotiables?

How to deal with NRE?

What happens if this or that happens?

Two books that set out things very well are: The Ethical Slut and More than Two.

There are also dedicated sites with a wealth of info. Some easy to get as they are kinda FAQ layouts. You may also see questions there you hadn’t even thought about.

Above all else Communicate with each other at every stage. Unless you have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” set up, which don’t tend to fit into the ethics of ethical non monogamy.

We have just embarked on this.

So far so good.

Mr has had dates with potential 'others'.

Mrs is still looking for the 'one' but has her eyes on a potential guy.

We are finding that good communication is absolutely crucial.

Since starting this - we have definitely rekindled the relationship. So far so good.

Just remember that the male author of More Than Two is an abuser and not all his stories are true. Some things in the book are valid but I recommend reading more by Eve by herself (the female author) or with other poly writers she colabs with.

We have been talking about this ourselves but still unsure swinging is one thing but poly could bring out a jealous side

Very, very valid and important PSA

I'm open to the concept of a polyamorous type relationship with the right person or more than one.

Sounds very exciting to me .

There are also lots of different varieties of polyamory to consider,

me and the wife kind of just fell into a polyamorous relationship when she fell in love with someone else, I'm not going to lie, it was really hard to start with but as we have moved forward in the right direction it has become easier for us both, learning as we go.

Before splitting me and my now ex partner where both poly for the 8 years of our relationship and it was an amazing time, it can be hard work at times and takes lots of communication between all parties involved but for us it was perfect. Currently I have a single partner who I have a long distance relationship with so am kinda flying solo (with full consent obviously) which still feels a little odd at times, maybe I will find someone local that I click with.

We are open to it. Not something we are actively looking for per se but we've been open to the idea of it for years if it happens organically.

Been on the scene long enough and are wise enough to know its always possible that we could meet others that we become attached to.

However since we both agree it would only be another woman in whatever capacity (as a thruple or dating one of us) odds are it will never happen anyway. But never say never and all that.

Thats amazing and gives me hope that my own relationship will continue to work as it does, only difference in our relationship is that the wifes lover doesn't have a wife of his own anymore.

First and foremost, polyamory is definitely not swinging and I WISH fabs would have a dedicated page solely for poly people. I've been incredibly lucky to of had 3 serious polyamory relationships, raging between 9 to 18 months over the years between both swinging and my vanilla experiences and all I can add to this wonderful post is the word "trust" you have to fully trust each other to keep the exclusivity. I've always been their boyfriend, both socially and sexually, everything from shopping to holidays, cooking dinner to wild weekends away. Was I "in love" hmm, hard one, I miss them all individually, I loved what we had together, the freedom, the loyalty and would really like to find a suitable poly couple to share life with again!

Amazing post, thank you!

Nxxx
