Relationship Fluidity

Hi everyone!

I've been doing the solo poly thing for awhile now, and have identified as being polyamorous. But the oddest thing (well, odd to me but probably not to most folx) has happened: I met someone that has me feeling a strong urge to explore conscious monogamy.

Uh - what the hell?!

I sat with this feeling, and talked about it in therapy (and with my connection). I want to make sure this isn't an impulse and that it's what I actually want. And I think it is.

What's more, is I'm feeling a little emotionally unavailable to other connections, too. The desire to continue dating is gone, or even to keep seeing people I've been out with before.

My therapist encouraged me to view relationship structures more fluidly, instead of in such a strict, binary way. I'm feeling monogamish NOW, but being open to that changing.

I'm curious if anyone else has run into something like this.
