Good for you!

I'm in a four-way relationship right now. It's an amazing thing, isn't it? I never knew that I could love three people the way I've always loved the one. I just never knew I was capable of that much intimacy.

I'll warn you about this one aspect of polyamory: there are landmines everywhere you step, and you never quite know when somebody's going to do or say something that will blow you up. But if you're all mature, stable people, you'll be able to piece each other back together again.

Know this, too: you're wired to be jealous. And so is she, and so is he. We all are. It's not like you ARE that way, it's just the way things are hooked up in your brain; there will come a time when your automatic first response will be jealousy. Which is not at ALL to say you can't or won't rise above it, you just gotta know it's likely to come up for you at some point.
