What's up with everyone being a psych specialist, these days, anyways? I recently heard that label used in reference to someone in my circle, unfair, untrue and certainly a step back in the reduction of mh stigmas, but enough of my soapbox...
If he can't agree to exclusivity, and that's what you need...then he's a lost cause

I realize this and I knew it from the beginning he couldn't offer me that. I just didn't expect to be attacked because I made a decision by myself, for myself. I mean, he made it clear the choice was mine and I didn't think it'd lead to a huge discussion.
Like, from the very start he said I could always set boundaries and we'd always be friends no matter what happened. I didn't really think I'd have to discuss it with him, talk it over etc, because well.. it's my decision? I don't know if that makes sense, but I feel like I have to now take everything to him, run it through him and seek validation from him.

Thank you so much, I'll definitely read it. Was hoping someone would direct me to books related to this.
