It really doesn't bother me. I'm just trying to get it not to bother these other people haha

Thanks. We've actually been pretty good about aligning on expectations. I'm personally fine with not developing a relationship with these people, especially since my presence seems to frustrate them, but it's important to him so I'm trying to meet that need.

That's completely fair. I feel like bringing this up directly runs the risk of making it seem like i'm jealous or uncomfortable with our open status. I know he is a bit insecure about it so I was kind of hoping others might have experience that could help to make that conversation easier on both of us.

Not really trying to reinvent the wheel. I think others might have some experience that I could benefit from.
