[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here again. Thanks for the advice and perspective. I finally told him I care about him but he needs to think through his priorities, and unless and until he decides he's okay with monogamy, I'm done and we're just colleagues. I think he was kind of shocked: he was expecting me to wait patiently while he tried to decide what he wants. I am treating this as a breakup and going no-contact beyond being courteous if we have to interact for work.

Honestly, reading the responses to my post helped me get some objectivity, and realize that I although I was trying very hard to see things from his perspective, the truth was that I was feeling hurt, angry and manipulated. I feel a little sad now, because I liked the time we spent together and built up some hopes about what might happen, but I also feel relieved. I don't think he is a horrible person. He's generally a kind person. But I do think he's a little on the entitled and self-centered side, and the more I think about it, the more realize I am probably better off without him, even if he suddenly decides he wants to be Mr. Monogamous. So thanks, DCUM![/quote]

But OP did the STD police persuade you or, as an adult, were you already well aware and informed of all the risks associated with multiple partners? [/quote]
