Welcome to polyamory!
I love women and happen to have married a man. So, I just pick up random chics when I can. I've only had two serious relationships with women and a man. They went well. No guilt, no huge problems. The thing is they don't last very long. If you were gay, would you want into an already made family? Not unless you didn't want one of your own right? And if you didn't want one of your own, what makes you think being a part of another one is what you want? It's rough at first. I only started dating guys so my mom wouldn't find out I was gay. Then I got married. Then I came out to her per request of my girlfriend. Then she left me. sad day. I still have the husband. He is just a big lesbian and does all the lesbian stuff I like. He really enjoys it too.
The biggest problem you would be facing is jealousy. You go into a relationship thinking all is well and then bam, it hits you at the most odd times. The trick is, don't let it fester and end your relationship. Deal with it as a natual part of the situation. Rule number two. DO NOT lie to your spouse or hide your girlfriend. This is sabotaging it from the start. You all have to be very honest with eachother. If you aren't honest with your current choice, don't pick up a chic (minus a one night stand) unless you are. I even put in my wedding vows that I promise to forsake all other men, and then he promised to forsake all other men. lol. Yeah, and the funny part is my mom thought I was kidding! When I came out, I told her otherwise.
Number last. Being with a chic doesn't mean you HAVE TO share her with your boyfriend. I will only share her if I personally have decided that she doesn't matter to me anymore. We do this with guys, it's a natual part of the selection process in finding a mate. I just get in a few extra for the road if you know what I mean. When I'm in love, David knows he cannot touch her. But since me and David are soul mates, my gf's always end up being Davids new best friend because they are all like him. I don't mind that at all. Even if threesomes are for you, don't be afraid to ask for alone time with either person. If they both love you they will understand.
Good luck!
