Hey everyone,
So I am in my first serious relationship and we've been together for a little over 2 months. This is my boyfriend's first gay relationship so we're pretty new to this "stuff" in general.
He has brought up threesomes a few times and has said he would be up for it if I am as well, with it culminating with him bluntly asking me if I have any interest in that. I responded somewhat wishy-washy and said "I don't know..." but, to be honest, it actually hurts me quite a bit that he would be open to sharing me and what we have between us with someone else. I don't know if it's just curiosity, if he'd really go through with it, or if it's one of those things where he can separate his sexual desires from his emotional desires, but in any event, it doesn't feel great on my end. I would never have any interest in sharing him with someone else and him expressing interest in this makes me question the depth of his feelings for me.
I am thinking I might need to circle back around with him and clearly let my feelings about it be known, but I also hate to have "a talk" and sort of rock the boat when we really have had no issues/disagreements at all thus far (and I'd hope this wouldn't be a big deal or dealbreaker for him anyway, but who knows). I don't know if he will bring it back up again, so maybe it's not even worth bringing up to him unless he tries to broach the subject again, but maybe it's also not a bad idea to just let him know it's never going to happen.
I'm just curious of your thoughts on this and if you would feel the way I feel or if it's really not that big of a deal.
Thanks!
