Polyamory is wonderful, but in this case I just do not ask questions. In the past, he once briefly told me that he had a gf in Paris and that she was "clingy". OK, that was it. I did not interrogate him. Likewise, whatever information he will volunteer now would be all I will learn about his private life - I won't interrogate him. I do not feel that I have any "need to know".

What he did arranging for this visit to Stanford is basically impossible to do - these academic lectures are usually arranged months in advance, and he arranged his in just a couple of weeks. And he keeps writing to me that he is thinking of me all the time and stuff. So he is smitten, as Moose said. This is plenty for me, and I do not need him to be exlusive - I am satisfied with what I have.
