My wife is bi and occasionally goes out with women. Though I have yet to act on it, she's comfortable with me seeing other women too. This is mostly due to the fact that I just don't have as much sexual experience as many of our peers and she wants me to enjoy any potential connections. We've talked about it quite a bit and have developed what I think are pretty healthy boundaries. She does not consider herself a dev and neither of us consider ourselves poly because neither of us are really looking for additional partners, primary or otherwise. We are each others' "person." That said, it's important to both of us that we genuinely like the people we're dating.

I am poly but in a monogamous relationship.

LOL, I can't even find a single partner, let alone worry about multiples. I was going to say the same exact thing

one time an ex bullied me into agreeing to open the relationship and then FLIPPED HER SHIT when i actually went on a date with someone else. in reality, she just wanted the OK to cheat on me. i don't think she expected me to actually manage to date other people.
does that count?

I think these are legit questions to ask smilefile It's a bit of science making an open relationship/polyamory work, and there's actually much material out there to educate yourself. I think some people throw out the idea very quickly because it scares them, but if you dig into it a bit more, I believe it's doable and can be a very good thing. Everyone has to find their own way to maneuver the waters of an open relationship, though. I concur.

There are different types of ehthical monogam. For instance, I see a married couple that are pretty much friends with benefits. I also have another FWB, and a gf. Up until recently, my gf and I were bothe dating the same woman, both together and separately. Also, hi from a fellow Texan. I'm in NM now though. My wife is bi and occasionally goes out with women. Though I have yet to act on it, she's comfortable with me seeing other women too. This is mostly due to the fact that I just don't have as much sexual experience as many of our peers and she wants me to enjoy any potential connections. We've talked about it quite a bit and have developed what I think are pretty healthy boundaries.

I've always thought I'd be open to the idea if the relationship was poly from the very beginning. however lately I've been questioning the idea of whether I could even do that since I've never been a guy who wanted to know the details of anything sexual with the people I'm having fun with thus I've been kind of been debating whether I would be equipped to handle a poly relationship. That said I've gotten quite used to listening to a girl I have fun with yammer on about her various partner drama LOL. thus maybe I could if I found someone whose boundaries aligned with mine.
One thing's for sure tho. I Would never ever transition into a poly relationship for a partner. no way no how. Also, I 3rd Brace's thing LOL!

Any other polyamorous devs or pwds? Right now I’d be happy in finding one woman that would take me onboard, I’ll let you know however when there’s a queue a mile long of women knocking down my door looking a piece of me also, but for now I’d be happy with one. 😂
