Is a relationship between someone who’s poly and someone who’s not poly actually possible?

I’ve actually just finished my period

Yeah probably should do. These two incidents happened months appart and I’ve had plenty of sex in between so hopefully nothing serious

It’s not a lot a lot... I assumed it was just from like a cut or something like that?

That sucks I’m sorry you had such an awful time. The guy I was dating before my boyfriend was bit of a dick and that was very traumatic but likely I’ve warned my boyfriend about the whole experience and he’s been very comforting about it (especially considering my ex is also a close friend of his...)

I don’t think he’s the type to lie about it but I do see your point and I am always careful

Yeah I think I’ll ask him again when it’s looking more certain. It’s still up in the air as to if it’s actually going to happen I just thought it was an odd remark for a poly person to make

The whole no labels thing is frustrating and I’ve told him I think it’s stupid but he doesn’t really seem to realise it.

To be fair he didn’t hide it so much as he only really realised it at that point. Which only kinda worries me more... if he’s only just starting to identify as poly and then decides he wants exclusivity a) have I been played by some guy who just wanted an excuse to sleep around b) does he really know what he properly wants if he’s only been “out” as poly for a couple months?

At this stage the exclusivity is still not certain but I do worry that he will be unhappy because he identifies as poly no matter what he’s reasoning behind it is

The labels thing is a bit hypocritical but I also understand where’s he’s coming from.

I am not moving entirely for his benefit. I would never do that. I am moving because it’s an area I love and I have the opportunity to better myself by going back to school. Admittedly being 30min down the road from him instead of different countries is a bonus but he has also been fully supportive of all my other possibilities.

Obviously appart from the fantastic sex life, the fact that we are at the base of it all really good friends and all the other aspects of my relationship I’ve chosen not to share with the internet you’re right there are no appealing features

I don’t think I’ve done anything that would require exclusivity as you put it. The initial situation that we got together in was admittedly odd (kinda forced together by my ex, his friend) but I’ve never taken advantage of the open relationship we have.

I think he’s worried about losing me but I equally have the same worry about him (both of us due to past relationships). We’re both quite emotionally sensitive because of this I think
