I 25(M) and my partner 25(F) are looking at stepping into a sexual ENM relationship. We are a queer couple (I am a trans man and she is bisexual) Both of us have individual therapists and a couples therapist. We have been together for 6 months. I brought up the idea with her after having a discussion with my therapist. She was pretty open to the idea and even enthusiastic. Even the conversation seemed to help our sex life. However, as we continue to think about it and take tiny steps in that direction, I can't help but think it may not strengthen our relationship as I hope. Both of us want to feel free and not trapped. Both of us want to have the ability to keep things fresh, exciting, and fun. The idea of just being with one person for forever and never having sexual encounters with anyone else again is a scary thought. We also care very deeply about each other and don't want to damage our relationship beyond repair. I know that people usually come here for advice about things they have going on but is there anyone here that this sort of thing has worked for? Any good stories? Any honest ones? Cautionary tales?
