... and tell each man that he is the only one

I have NEVER done that. I have always been upfront with the only one person I have been dating. But apparantly, the guy I am dating has a difficult set of parents tried to set him up with a family friend. I've been dating with this guy for 2 years and I am head over heel in love with him despite his current medical situation.

I have no reasons NOT trusting my guy, but we are having long distance relationship. Reality is reality, his parents make seeing each other extremely painful and unbearable. I can't stand his parents but the guy is a mom's boy.

Well, my guy loves me and has done his best, but he has his limitations and for some reasons, he cannot be completely independent at this point (medical issues)

I have a college guy friend who is cnrretly single and I bumped into him in the mall one day and I couldn't believe I actually found him to be attractive. I immediately felt guilty because of it.
Well, a sense of entitlement quickly took over my guilt because I was thinking, "well, not like his parents haven't set him up with anybody, why should I deny myself chances meeting more interesting guy?"

I know that my boyfriend perhaps is considering getting on another date (I don't know, I am just speculating)

Should I date other men? What would you do if you are in my situation?

Constructive advices are needed. .

Yes, I dated more than one guy at once, but they all knew and it started from the beginning. You're in a different situation, where you have to decide whether you want to stop being monogamous.

Well, I've dated more than 1 girl at a time but....

1) We never agreed to be exclusive.
2) I didn't lie about anything.
3) I wasn't trying to exact revenge on someone.

You don't know what's happening with your bf. From what you say, his family sucks and he's trying to do the right thing.

I suggest that you either try to make things work with him or break it off. Nothing in between.

right, I agree with you on the "nothing in between" statement.
However, his parents set him up with a family friend KNOWING we are still together. I told my boyfriend, "Well, if you want to date other people, then please don't make it double standard, I should have the freedom doing exactly the same thing."

boyfriend response, "well, if that is what you want, but I will just stay single." I have found out that he did indeed go see that girl, but he didn't find her to be attractive. Obviously, he went on a "date" with the new girl, he is not doing what he is suppose to be doing, obviously

Judging from this, I would say to move on. He said that he would stay single, yet he still went on the date. How did you find out? From him or someone else?

I'm assuming that the fact that he went on the date was because of the pressure his parents put on him, which tells me that he did not stand up to them for you and tell them that he is seeing you and no one else. Do you want to be with someone who will listen to mommy and daddy, even if that means he will be hurting you?
