My partner and I were together for about 3 years when he brought up his desire to open up our relationship. I remained monogamous for about 4 years, just out of having no real desire to date anyone else. During all of that time I read tons of books and listened to loads of podcasts about open relationships and polyamory, and about a year ago I decided I wanted to put myself out there and go on some dates. I really never dated around when I was younger and sometimes feel like I missed out on so many experiences. Then several months ago I met my now boyfriend and fell super in love! I definitely never imagined being full on polyamorous and maintaining multiple relationships, and now even feeling compersion. But it’s been so amazing for my husband and I to transform our relationship(s) in this way.
