So I’ve been seeing this guy for like two months. Really like him. Super nice. Been spending a lot of time together. We both have talked about how we aren’t ready to be in “committed” relationships- and how we are just enjoying each other in the moment. Our situation is not monogamous..as he has told me he has been with other people since being with me..and I’m okay with that. But it’s different than how I’ve navigated my previous relationships, whether it be a boy friend of a fling- I’ve always enjoyed being monogamous (but I am trying to break that down and understand you can have different relationships with different people and they can all be loving in some regard). I know jealousy plays a big part in people who have “partners” (we can just call him that for story’s sake) and still see other people. I know when he told me he had been with other people a part of me was a little jealous but understood that he’s an adult and is allowed to do what he wants- and it’s up to be to be okay with that- which at the end of the day I am. And I know he feels the same way. I know he would probably be a little jealous if I was with someone else too but understands that our “relationship” is no pressure and go with the flow enjoying the moment.

So I’m wondering how might I go about telling him I might see someone else too? Do I even say anything? Or is it shitty not to? I know it seems silly but I do care about this guy and don’t want to hurt his feelings. And I know if he can be with other people then I can too..but honestly like I said before..I’ve never not been monogamous with one partner..because for me it gets tricky understanding where lines are drawn. Part of me wants to hook up with someone else just because and then part of me thinks I shouldn’t because it might be disrespectful to the guy I’m currently seeing. How should I navigate this?
