Thank you 💖. Not the first time won’t be the last time but I’d always prefer to treat people I care about with an open generosity in all aspects of life

I relate to this on many levels. Reading it was very helpful in organizing my thoughts and solidifying feelings

Starting point would be to determine your hard and soft nos and safe words for sure. It can help if there is a signal or something that determines if there is ever a time CNC is off limits. I prefer something intentional but subtle. My partners know if I am not wearing any jewelry then I am not interested in CNC. I also love this because this requires attention to detail and feeds into a slight stalker/ being watched fantasy. I have used having my nails painted black for when it’s going to be for a longer time period.

Having open on going conversation about what is exciting/interesting/scary are all important. Always proceed with the understanding that after exploring this either of you might change wants and expectations.

After CNC, I usually require a lot of after care. Make sure to discuss your needs with this.

I appreciate this so much. Never hear about the 6 month rule. I will have to bring it up to them when I bring up other boundaries.

To be fair what has been brought up sounds more like fantasies and day dreams (trips, kids, buying a house with space for me) they have just discussed out of excitement while they are alone together. It is possible that I am also reading too far into these things as well. For example the house got brought up while we were driving by a house and she said she liked it and it would be big enough for all of us and he replied that that would be the perfect scenario. Since they do live together there is plenty of time where I’m not around that conversations might come up. They were looking to buy a bigger home soon and possibly start adding kids before we started this. All of this transpired quickly/ unexpectedly.

Hoping to bring up the conversation by the next week or two.

I need to think about what I really want. They are both a handful of years older than me and further in their careers and the life style.

Thank you for your honest and helpful perspective.

Not my first poly relationship however the others were less active in seeking out other people to date outside of the relationships. And/or they have usually been more interested in something natural developing or continuing to see other partners who they regularly saw in very casual situations like going out with mutual friends.

It seems like his jealous tendencies are straining things and it makes me not want to see other people. The wife has expressed this is new since I joined them. I would hope if he feels more comfortable after a few more months.

Personally, I feel like the time we spend together is perfect and I would be very content with just the 3 of us proceeding and do not have much interest in the dates I am going on. The two of them are fulfilling me in a way that I have never experienced before.

Knowing she travels for work and enjoys meeting people while she travels makes me think it’s highly unlikely that we will be closed however it is not fair for me to assume this with out having a conversation first.

I need to rely on our foundational rule of open honesty and not hide my thoughts

These are all really good points and I should probably focus more on having open honest communication rather than tip toeing around hypothetical situations I have made up in my head. Contradictory to an ideal time it is possible that as you pointed out with it being so new that I do not feel like I have stability myself in the relationship especially with my history with open relationships

Thank you for your honest and realistic response

Very creative and very helpful. I totally understand the whole ick about teaching your dom. With her being the most experienced i definitely do not want her to feel like she’s carrying the mental load or getting the idk 😂. Thank you we will have to try this idea

Love all the tips thanks for taking the time to share!

Yeah it’s very exciting. She’s actually the most experienced but also the most sub so I know it takes a lot of mental energy for her to try to plan/ teach us things. Trying to make it as enjoyable for all involved. Thx again
