This is really good advice for you, OP. Polyamory is potentially a very strong and fulfilling relationship structure, but it’s a lot of work and it’s not necessarily easy.
Most of the polyamorous people i know came into their relationships already down for polyamory. Opening up a monogamous relationship is risky, so it is a good idea to proceed in an informed and intentional manner.
There’s a lot of ways relationships can go. A part of polyamory means finding what works for y’all. Who knows, maybe it’ll end up as a monogamous situation where the new guy joins y’all platonically as chosen family.

In a poly relationship with n members, there will be 2^n - n - 1 interpersonal relationships in play.
This is the cardinality of the power set of n, minus the number of singleton sets and the empty set.
Thought i would mention it, just in case you needed a quick way to calculate the number of relationships in ur polycule for ur therapist.

Forget monogamy, I just need a mathematical relationship!
