In layman's terms, "I want to stay with you while I see other people with your knowledge. I'm staying with you basically because I know you're good to me and I might not be able to find someone who treats me better. But if I start to prefer one of my other buddies to you, I'll drop you in a second."
This persons wants their cake and all the frosting that can come on it. Your feelings about the situation are placed secondary to their needs. If this situation isn't what you want, drop this loser like a hot potato--they plan on being with other people with or without your consent.
JEAN'S ANSWER>>>>>make sure that this is something that you can handle before you agree to anything....i just came out of a relationship that was "just dating" for seven years i was with this guy and we were just friends..i found out recently that he was cyberdating and worst of all he was doing this in my house...he said when i confronted him..because of our relationship there is nothing I'm doing wrong.and being that it was his laptop he was using i couldn't tell him what to do on his own machine... so i can do what i want..he also sits in my house and chats with his female friends on the phone..this i found is not okay and it does hurt my feelings..so just dating has to be something that you can deal with...my advice to you is don't do it ..it will only hurt you in the long run...let him go...because he is just with you until something better comes along..and he does not want you for a relationship..you are just miss right now...trust me i know...
Trev's Answer >> It entirely depends on if you think you could handle being in an open relationship. Some people can, and some people even thrive in this type of relationship. Other people can't stand it, so in the end it really comes down to what *you* are comfortable with. Since your asking this question at all, I'm going to hazard the guess that you aren't comfortable with it - and if that's the case you do ned to let your partner know. It's not fair to either of you if you lie about being comfortable with something like this. By the same token, if you *are* okay with it, you need to make it clear to your partner that you reserve the same rights to date other people that they have.
