I want to work things out with him but I don't know how. Usually I would just say sorry but this happened a couple of times already. How do I bring it up without sounding like a complete *****.

He's the only man and the only man I want.

Well for one, he's not you. You may not expect it, which is why he doesn't do it. But on the flip, it is something he expects.

It's like couples and the case of opposite sex friends. Some are uncomfortable with that, and expect certain boundaries with opposite sex friends once they become exclusive. Others however, do not expect that.

"I don't mind if he has woman friends, so why does he care that I have men friends?"
Easy, because he's not you, and those are his feelings.

And he may expect you to stay in your place, so to speak. Training.

He expects you to be waiting by the phone because you do wait by the phone and allow him to contol you.


In regards to birth control, this is not something that *slip your mind* and honestly if it does, you are not mature or responsible enough to be having sex let alone being in a relationship.
Have you realistically considered what will happen when you do get pregnant?

Probably because he either believes you are now exclusive or quite frankly he's insecure/possessive etc

Take it from a bloke that's had many fwb/casual/non committed relationships over the years this won't end well my love as you've not stood your ground and told him that this is bothering you and worse off allowing him to do so.

Now in the grand scheme of things the texting thing is quite trivial but that's how it starts

Girl talk to him.

All we can do is speculate, we don't know this due.

What does an "open" relationship mean to you, then? It's okay for him to have other partners but not you?

Because he's a jerk and thinks women should revolve around him, but he shouldn't be expected to return the gesture.

That's a very good question. Ask him. It's a fair question. He should be held accountable.
