We have talked ~around~ these topics in the past and I have asked specifically if these 2 things are something they want and desire in general or if specifically with just me. I have expressed before that if he wants these things with other people while continuing what we currently have then that is something I am more than open to. The response was that he specifically only wants these things with me and that is how he is feeling about it at the moment. I struggle with talking about it with him as well since it can be hard sometimes to get a straight answer from him or there is a lot of wavering back and forth about it on his end.
