Am I polyamorous?  My husband and I have been married for 13 years and I just recently met a man at work who I am very attracted to.  We have become really good friends and he recently told me that he and his wife have an "open" marriage and he is also attracted to me.  I have been talking and getting to know his wife and she and I are attracted to each other as well.  I have never felt this way towards a woman before.  Over the years, I have been attracted to other men and I do flirt.  I'm trying very hard not to confuse these emotions as just "lust" or the excitement of something new.  How do I determine that?  I love my husband dearly and want to approach him about this but am scared to what he might say.  He is somewhat jealous and I don't know if he would accept me having a relationship with this other man.  With his wife, maybe.  That is a fantasy of his that we've only joked about but never have acted on.  I would love to go further with this couple (sexually & emotionally).  However, I do not want to until I talk to my husband.  But how on Earth do I even bring this up to him?  Help!
