I believe in a deep connection (love) and when that's happening I don't want anyone else.

We crossed streams a bit in our last posts :-)
I'll just point out two sentences I feel are a bit weird in your last post. In the first sentence, you equate not being sexually exclusive with not being "loyal." How do you make this leap? I can think of no connection between having sex with someone exclusively and being loyal to that person. Not only is it possible to be loyal and still have sex with other people, but it is also possible to not be loyal and yet remain sexually exclusive with the person. Loyalty and sexual exclusivity have no relationship as far as I can tell.
It seems you default to talking about why you want to be sexually exclusive yourself, not why you want your partner to be. I can understand why someone would want to be sexually exclusive. That's not what I'm trying to discover. What I don't understand is why someone would expect their partner to be as a condition of the relationship.
