Do you have "the talk"?
Like "Are we exclusive" talk? 10 years ago when dating, this was never a subject of discussion, it was always assumed. If you have this talk, when and how?
Re: Do you have "the talk"?
this talk should happen when you and/or the person you are with feels ready to make it exclusive. I don't like to give a specific time cause every relationship is different.
After a month my BF told me he was no longer dating other people. He wanted to focus on our relationship and see where it went. No pressure was put on me to do the same, though I wasn't dating other people anyway. We had the "title" talk within a couple weeks of this.
We talked about not seeing other people and seeing where things went about 3 weeks into our relationship. We were both on eharmony (that's how we met) and I said something like, "I keep getting emails from people and don't know what to do because I really like spending time with you." BF said, "I'm getting them, too, but I have just been ignoring them because I want to see where things go with us and am not good at juggling." So after that we both knew we weren't seeing other people. About a month later we hid our profiles (so we didn't get any more matches) and about six months in we cancelled our profiles completely.
I have never really had to have the talk. It seems to me in all of my past three serious relationships it was clear from the start that we were both in 100%. Mainly because we communicated and saw eachother so frequently it would be difficult to see how there was time to date anyone else.
However, with most recent BF I did ask him if he was still talking to anyone via text, email, phone and he said no. He said that when we started dating he stopped communication with any other women he had been seeing.
