Today, my boyfriend randomly decided to let me know that he believes there's really no such thing as cheating, unless both partners explicitly agree that the relationship is monogamous. And no, he wouldn't agree that ours is. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boyfriend says he is not cheating, because he has "not met them." He just follows half-naked women, likes only the most revealing pictures, and messages them in private. But yes, he is "not cheating." FML
Today, my now ex-boyfriend actually tried to justify his cheating by saying it doesn't count as cheating if the girl's bisexual. FML
Today, my girlfriend randomly confessed to basically having a "phobia" of monogamy. But don't worry, she defensively assured me she's never ever cheated on me, even though I never said she had, so I guess that's okay then. FML
Today, my boyfriend of two years told his friend that he decided a long time ago that he would never be faithful to a woman. I was sitting next to him. FML
Today, I confronted my boyfriend, suspecting that he has been cheating on me during the past few months. He vehemently denied it. Then told me it would never happen again. What? FML
Today, I discovered that my fiancé and I had vastly different definitions of monogamy. Don't worry, he only did it when he was mad at me to remind him how much he loved me. I found out from my best friend. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he thinks I'm cheating on him, with my brother. FML
Today, my boyfriend broke up with me, because he didn't trust himself not to cheat on me. What? FML
Today, I asked my boyfriend why he didn't believe in marriage. His response was, "I believe in marriage. Just not marriage with you." FML
Today, after three months of going back and forth between staying with my boyfriend and leaving him for someone else, I finally made the decision to go for the other guy. When I told him, he admitted to never seeing himself with me, as he "doesn't do cheaters." FML

Time to break up!

at least he's being honest that he doesn't want to be in a monogamous relationship. if your not ok with being in an open relationship then time to move on.

Your boyfriend sounds like a complete tool. Kick him to the curb.

Wow! What a dick! Sounds like you need a new boyfriend. Sorry, OP.

op, sorry to hear that your boyfriend (hopefully now an ex) thinks that way. if you haven't already id say its time to dump him and find someone with the same thoughts on a relationship as you have. you shouldn't have to spell that out for him that it is cheating. hopefully you can find a real man who is willing to commit .

There are a lot of options with this FML. Op could have just assumed. The boyfriend could have assumed. Maybe he thought up the excuse on the fly to cover what he knew she wouldn't like. But from the sounds of it, the boyfriend is looking for a way to get Op to break up with him.

polygamy is a the right way

It is hard to determine what the correct response is. It depends on how long they have been dating. and whether or not it had been stated that they were in a relationship. I have been married just shy of 21 years. The first thing stated when we decided we were in a relationship is that it was exclusive. That was almost 22 years ago. And neither of us has been afraid that the other would cheat. And we are planning for our 25th anniversary trip.
