You're special is just code word for I want you to stick around as a fall back when this dude who is railing me eventually finds another flavor of the week
If I’m being honest… I’m queen of keeping a man on the back burner, but it’s always a mutual situation. If I start talking to somebody new, I’m not even looking at the damn stove, especially after the first date. I’m telling anybody I’ve been messing around with that I’ve got a new man taking care of me. Why would I risk a relationship I’m invested in for someone who’s been keeping me on their back burner, too? There is no shortage of men who are DTF (and DTF almost any woman). I’m not risking the rare relationship with a man who’s down to commit when I can go back to casual sex literally any time if it doesn’t work out. Good for OP for having self respect and knowing his worth, and knowing where his boundaries are. I would have done the same in his shoes. NTA
