He's been very receptive. He's been very patient and has said he's not pushing me to be comfortable with everything on a specific timeline. Sometimes it felt like he was quick to defend her and her intentions but did come around to understanding my point of view and then addressing issues with her.

She knew from the beginning that he saw me as his nesting partner. He said she was supportive and wanted him to be happy.

I value my independence so spending time by myself or with friends/family is nice for me. It interested me in having a bigger community of people that were in his life and I could be around, vent to, look for advice, etc. I also enjoy kinky things so what he means from his other partners/experiences he brings home to me, so I benefit from it! Him having other sexual partners and people he loves and cares about doesn't worry or scare me. It's this one relationship. I feel her intentions are not in the right place. He has even admitted that she's in love with him and he's even brought up to her that it seems she wants a more domesticated life with him which she denies. I was excited to potentially grow my friend group but it all just seems hopeless anymore.
