How do I discuss polygamy with my bf?

So this is kind of weird but I'm honestly not sure. My boyfriend had been subconsciously hinting at it all week. I can read him like an open book and I adore that about him. He finally slipped and brought the idea up with me. I'm not opposed to it or for it just yet. Just not sure how to discuss it maturely. I know he loves me very much and he also knows my last relationship ended up being polyamorous and failing because of it. I haven't seen a poly relationship work, in theory I like the idea in practice it's failed miserably. What happens if one ends up hating one but still very much loves the other? How will this affect raising a family, we've both already decided to have kids? I'm 24, my boyfriend is 22, and the person he wants to bring in is 19. How might age play into this? What boundaries should be set if we do end up doing this? I've never met the guy in question but they were together before I met my boyfriend and broke up because the guy in question started going through his slutty phase, I've been there before so I have no room to judge. They got back together when I first met my boyfriend, before he was my boyfriend, and then my boyfriend broke it off to be with me and we've been madly in love since. He said of I didn't want to do this he wouldn't do it but I feel like if I say no it'll always be in the back of both our minds. How do I handle this with tact?
>TLDR version; Can polygamy work and if it can what steps are necessary to make it work?
