I currently consider myself as practicing solo poly / relationship anarchy in that I don't have a primary partner, I'm not sure I particularly want one, but I have a couple of people that I've been seeing regularly. It's been working really well for me and whilst I'd be open to the idea of having a primary, or other more 'serious' relationship in the future, I'm really enjoying my life at the moment and still feel like I'm developing really meaningful connections, which is ultimately what I'm looking for.
So one of the guys I've been seeing, we've been dating/hooking up for about 2 months now, and we seem to have a really special connection. He also doesn't have a primary partner, but there is a woman he's told me about who he's been seeing for about 6 months. She's married but also non-monogamous/poly, and I guess the guy I've been seeing is also her secondary partner, or whatever you want to call it (I'm still quite new to ENM & getting my head around all the terms!)
I've always been clear with him that I'm happy to talk about anything, and a couple of times he's confided in me about stuff going on with his other partner because he's needed someone to talk to. I'm completely fine with that and would rather he feel able to talk about anything, and also would rather know when he's got something on his mind, so I can support him and so on. So that's all good, communication between us is excellent, all good things.
He has mentioned that he's spoken to her about me as well, which is also fine, in fact I prefer to know that everything is open and honest on all sides...... But tonight we've been chatting and he says that his other partner wants to meet me. Now to be fair, the more I hear about this woman the more I think we could get along really well, but actually meeting her..... Don't get me wrong, if they are both happy to do it, I'm up for it. But I'm going to be really nervous about meeting her, and I'm not sure what to expect!
Has anyone else met their partner's other partner(s)? How did it go? Any tips or advice??
