goldengirl11 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 I've noticed from a few posts that some of you seem to think that exclusivity when sexually involved is different to exclusivity in a relationship. Isn't it the same thing? Unless you can date others at the same time without sex I gather?
january2011 Posted June 13, 2012 Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I can see that there might a distinction for people who have FBs and/or polyamorous relationships. However, since I don't, for me, exclusivity means both sexually and relationship-wise since I'm unlikely to have one without the other. In addition, I understand that for some, there's a further level of distinction in that just because you're dating, it doesn't mean that you're in a relationship. And commitment and exclusivity provide further differentiation. Edited June 13, 2012 by january2011
RedRobin Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I've come across a couple of men who claim to be 'exclusive', but what they really mean is (maybe) they are exclusively having sex with you but continuing to date others. It is a sneaky way for some to work a woman into a FWB situation without her permission... Also a sneaky way to get her to stop considering other potential suitors without him having to stop. For this reasons and many others, I think the word 'exclusive' is rather ridiculous.
