476 - "My monogamous partner fell in love with someone else."

This question for this week’s Q&A episode is:

I’ve been in a monogamous relationship with the same person for 25 years. We never identified with the concept of emotional cheating so I was fine with my partner having emotional intimacy with someone he works with. Recently the emotional intimacy evolved and sexual intimacy was desired so we are transitioning to consensual non monogamy. Now I am wondering  what my relationship to polyamory is beyond just being ok with my partner practicing it.  I’m old enough to have missed all the dating apps and the idea of going out and trying to meet someone to be polyamorous with in my small town feels very contrived.
