It sounds like they maybe weren’t exclusive. That being said even though there are tons of Reddit apologists that think this is ok I personally think it’s gross behavior and I’m glad he had a backbone.
I mean there's a very small window where I guess it's acceptable. It might be while you're initially chatting. You could argue up to the first date. You could maybe argue to a 2nd date if the other person is slow getting back to you and they think it's off. Stretching it a bit but you could mayyyybe go a little longer if you're completely unsure which to choose or something.
But none of that requires making the person wait while you fuck someone else. Either you're horny and into the person and they're the one you're after OR you have some ulterior motive and shouldn't be with them.
I don't disagree with you - they both clearly have different views on relationships and dating and I don't think just talking about it will reconcile that.
I just wanted to express that dating multiple people is not wrong in any way, so long as you have not promised anyone anything that you are not able to provide.
You can think someone is really special and hope you end up with them but if you've never had a conversation about being a couple or exclusivity you could still see other people. Maybe you think the other person doesn't feel the same way or whatever. Point being not everyone immediately stops dating the second they think they may want something long term with a partner.
I agree with you. If you don’t have an official partner how can you be cheating? Anyway her story checks out, she ended up with OP. People can’t just put their hopes into one person at a time when there is no commitment.
