This post is directed towards those of you who read through my "7 Questions" series as a way to learn more about polyamory and to determine if it is right for you. If you decide to continue with a monogamous life at this point, that's awesome - you are making a conscious and educated choice.
If you decide that you want to pursue a non-monogamous lifestyle (either polyamory or one of the other numerous options), there are two things that I would recommend at this point: seek resources and seek support.
In my links section (see the bottom of this page), there are a list of several websites that go deeper into the topic of polyamory, and some of these have their own library of resources. In addition, there are several books on polyamory that I recommend (see my Recommended Books section to the right).
With regards to seeking support, there are online and in-person social groups in most major cities. A quick Google search may help you with finding them. In the future, I hope to build a directory of polamory awareness and support groups.
