Hi Reddit world! I’m new to this subreddit but excited to meet fellow non monogamous couples and learn all that I can!!

My partner [M/28] and myself [F/28] have been together for almost 3 years and I’ve recently begun wanting more sexual attention and exploration from other men and women (I’m bisexual).

A little background about us: we’ve known each other since we were 13, starting dating at 26, and we have the best friendship you could ever ask for. We love each other, trust each other, and I’ve never felt judged or afraid to be honest with him about ANYTHING! He’s a wonderful support.

Recently, for a variety of deep seeded reasons, I’ve really been struggling with the monogamous side of things. I’ve never really thought I was meant to have one sexual partner forever, especially being that I’m bisexual…

I’ve opened up to him about my want for other male attention both physically and emotionally, but my conflicting want to also stay committed to him, as I love our life together.

He’s been really understanding and very supportive.

Being that we are new to this, I’d love to hear from other couples out there who have ventured down this path and what sorts of boundaries were in place, how you managed to stay connected to your partner, whilst being with other people, and how you “dipped your toes in” while starting out!

Thanks in advance!!

TLDR: Looking for advice on how to get started…
