For the first 5 months or so of dating we hadn’t officially officially asked each other to be boyfriends, nor had we discussed exclusivity. I assumed that we were exclusive but have just found out he was actually dating and sleeping with 2 other people for the first 3 or so months we were together. I don’t know too many more details than that.
In the first few months we didn’t see each other super often because he was busy. I thought I was because he was busy with work. I guess not the whole story.
He’s not very apologetic about it because in his mind I didn’t explicitly say I wanted to be exclusive. I still feel blindsided and sad about this, that he wasn’t more open about what he was doing. It really tarnishes those first few months for me. This has made me, for the first time question our relationship.
I’m not sure what’s gonna help. How can I reconcile this in my head and move on?
