Just freaking ask the question
You know what I think could solve a lot of problems for people in relationships. Communication! Especially in the beginning. I know that’s the best part of the relationship and you think the person you’re talking to is wonderful and perfect. But no one is perfect.
While you feel like you’re in an exclusive relationship. That can often times not be the case. Trust me I’ve been the optimistic romantic. I felt that just because we were happy and spend most of our time together. That’s we were seeing only each other. I never asked the simple question of “Are we exclusive?”
An unpretentious enough question especially if you are seeing someone that you have given your all to. Why should you be embarrassed? You two have probably done more embarrassing things behind closed doors. Wink wink nudge nudge.
Just ask the question that usually goes unanswered, and can result in broken hearts, anger and resentment. Just be prepared that you might not like the answer that you get. From there you can mutually say your relationship is exclusive and bask in the glow of knowing 100% that you’re in a fully committed relationship or chose some other options.
