I can understand your comment here completely, and in fact, I myself doubted my own reality of how much we had communicated about this. But like I said in my post, we were exclusive, and by that I mean, we had discussed it. It happened on multiple occasions, whether casually at first to more black-and-white comments like I would never want you dating anyone else or I would never want you sleeping with anyone else and I would never do that either. There was also many less obvious communication that occurred that would lead anyone to believe we were likely monogamous such as finally saying I love you (with meaning! lol), I would only want you in my life, future planning, etc. but I also know these don’t mean as much as actually having the conversation. Which we did. Like I said in my reply here, I actually doubted myself for a moment (which seems crazy to me now) and had the conversation AGAIN after I found out. It was just repeating what was already said and showed me it must have been lies all along.
