This is my first post in reddit that isn't a link elsewhere so please be nice. :)

I've been bisexual as far as I can remember, but I met my husband and fell in love with him and knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. So I married him and here we are nearly 9 years later with two children. I've always wanted to have another girlfriend but the idea of going out on dates and such without my husband seemed.. weird. Unfair. and weird. :)

We met a woman in our social circle who is poly. She was interested in both my husband and I and it opened our eyes and minds to the possibilities in polyamory. He found some awesome articles in this subreddit (thanks everyone that participates here!) which helped a lot. Unfortunately things went way too fast and when we tried to back off it wasn't taken well. Which of course led to it ending.

The icing on the cake in all of this lies with some other friends who are poly but we didn't even REALIZE were interested in us. We hadn't even considered it because the pairing would be completely hetero but, well, here we are expressing interest in each other and getting to know each other.

It's some crazy cosmic shit going on.. almost too much for me to think is coincidence. Life experiences and interests and philosophies and even our children get along. I am just along for the ride here, and am liking the view. :)

No questions here, really, just a general introduction to say "hi!". I'd like to participate in this community more and I'm definitely interested to hear your stories, how you started out and where you're at in your relationships. :)
