I’ve recently discovered I am polyamorous and struggled with the idea of the lifestyle while being Christian. It’s good to know there are others like me.
I'm not going to lie - some of this I feel like I could've written myself (especially the bit about being a writer and a bad liar), and a lot more of this scared the living hell out of me. I'm still new to the poly lifestyle, but I'm happier than I've ever been in my life; I'm also more financially insecure than I've ever been in my life, and I'm genuinely scared I'll lose my housing soon if I don't find a job. (I'm disabled and need a remote position... my contract with the major tech company I was working for lapsed months ago when the industry cratered, and I've been desperately looking ever since with no good offers.)
I don't know how my parents will react. I know how I want to live my life, but I don't know how to survive this capitalist hellscape when it costs so much just to exist. My boyfriend lives with his wife and kids, and I know they don't have room for me; neither does the other gentleman I'm seeing fairly regularly. I'm scared, but trying to stay hopeful.
I'd appreciate it if you could keep me in your prayers. And thank you again, so very much, for writing this. I truly appreciate it.

Thank you for this. It’s really helpful. I’m sharing with my wife and our respective girlfriends.
Thank you for this. I needed to hear from someone who's been where I have as someone who isn't out of the closet.
Thank you so much for writing this.
