Hello!!! I'm Partner 2! How I got in to poly things is I fell in love with Partner 3 (I asked him out at the new year and we were then dating) and then a couple months later I realized I had feelings for Solus and their boyfriend (who we will call partner 1), I asked partner 3 if he was cool with poly things and he said yes, then I (very smoothly) slipped in to a discord chat with just partner 1 and Solus and said, and I quote, ||***slams head into table*** date me?|| (please forgive the discord markups, this was done over discord) And it has been 3 years since I sent that as of this Tuesday, despite everything the best three years of my life. As for coming out to partners, I didn't realize that I was poly till I fell in love with Partner 1 and Solus, so the time between that realization, me telling Partner 3 and getting the go ahead for asking out Partner 1 and Solus, and actually asking them out was less than a day. I wanna say no more than a couple hours, in fact. And in terms of other people, usually I don't come out to people, I also just talk about The Partner. People I'm close to know, my family knows, and people who it affects (my roommate) know. My mom is alright with it, I don't know if she even cares, but I do know that my mom likes the partners. My dad.... has his own issues. And my siblings are supportive as well! As for my roommate, I live in a dorm that is specifically for gnc people, so there wasn't really a big deal about coming out, i just let them know before I brought home Partner 4 and then Solus. If you've got any questions for me about poly things, or about our relationship, feel free to ask!
