We did discuss the idea of moving to Canada on a temporary basis, i.e., 5-10 years before returning. I was and still am totally up for that without hesitation. What I'm concerned about is the fact that in say 8-13 years time I don't see returning to the UK being likely, especially when my son will be 21

You don't come out as poly like you're gay. It's a lifestyle choice, almost like being a nudist. Many people are attracted to other people outside of their marriage, its normal, but that's why it's called commitment. I could leave my husband right now and start something with someone else, but in our committed monogamous relationship, I don't stray. Sounds like your wife is not going to be open to a poly relationship, and I don't blame her. I think it'll turn into a hot mess and end in divorce. You'll have to figure out what's more important to you.

You barely know him. You've only been dating for 5 months. Don't blow up your life for someone you may not be with in a month or 2. Table this entire discussion for at least - at a very minimum - another 6 months. Then revisit the conversation if you're still together and tell him your boundaries: you want to be married first.
