Found out she has a partner

So I’ve gone out with this wonderful woman a few times. Well we got dinner yesterday and it turns out she is in a long term relationship. Apparently he is aware of us, but it seems a bit concerning from my end. Any thoughts?

I guess the question is what are your concerns?

Does the nature of relationship you wish to build require exclusivity? If so, why? Are you afraid of disease, uncertain paternity, embarrassed for others to find out your love is non-traditional, or looking to feel a sense of leadership or ownership in the relationship which might be challenged by another partner?

I am not saying any of those are wrong. But identifying what your exact concerns are could be a good way to self examine if this is a deal breaker or something you can live with.

At the end of the day, relationships are deeply personal. You are not less of a man if you date a polyamorous woman, so long as everyone involved is able to give informed consent. Neither are you a bad person if you feel that you require monogamy to be happy in a relationship.

You have to make sure that things can work for you. And then you make sure things can work for her. If you cannot come to terms, you can part amicably on the understanding that your lives have different paths.

sounds like she's in an open relationship

@Lilymoon Why would she reveal it so much later then?
Lilymoon · F
@AndrewF probably feeling you out lol

If you want a commited relationship then you can consider her taken. If you want to be the lover on the side then she's up for it.
AndrewF · 51-55
@Queendragonfly She promised to be fully committed initially. Will she still keep it committed ?

It depends on what you want out of this relationship. Just friendship and companionship on occasion? Then it should be OK. Friend with benefits? It could work out. A long-term partnership relationship? Then that seems less likely.

@DunningKruger I was looking for a long term until she dropped the bomb on our last date
DunningKruger · 61-69, M
@AndrewF She probably should have mentioned that earlier.

People over complicate things. Simply ask her what her intents are. She’ll give you a straight answer. Then, you just have to decide if you want to play ball.

Assuming you’re single, why wouldn’t you test the waters? You did call her “wonderful” didn’t you? Maybe the sex will be wonderful too. It’d be crazy not to find out.
Unless the second party of their relationship confirms this with you, I would start having dinner with someone else.

She is in an open relationship
Once you both get what you want, go for it

Yeah, you were used! Forget her! No insult. 😊
AndrewF · 51-55
@Oster1 I don't feel used but I'm skeptical that any man will let their women to fck around. What if he's plotting something. All she said was ' it's not a big deal'

if you're into cuckoldry then go for it

Well my experience was I reconnected will an old girlfriend (25 years earlier).
We met at a hotel. Went at it like rabbits.
Then all of a sudden she jumps up and gets dressed. I ask ,what’s up? She says I have to get home, I’m married. Blew my mind
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
Ugh.

Unless that is appealing to you, I would cut my loses and move on. You are going to be wondering and wondering where she is, what she is doing, and how she feels about you.
AndrewF · 51-55
@AlvinoMartins TBH I did put myself in his shoes. Could it be they are in the end stage of relationship and just waiting to end it legally?
...and how do you know he is "aware", just because she told you? Maybe look her up and social media. If it says "married", then maybe reach out to him privately and ask. Just say she'd like to go out for dinner, and....
Fuck her and then move on. Or just move on. Either way, do go for anything long term. Unless she swallows and then good luck steppin away. 😂

@SheCallsMeCrushDaddy She's good tho, probably unsatisfied or looking for some extra bucks
Ontheroad · M
At best, it's a sticky wicket and I'd want to steer clear of it at all costs... unless of course, you are just out for a "hookup" and nothing else.

The cuck as we call him. Try fcking your date harder, if there is still no reaction then probably they ain't fcking too. Just don't fall into any such traps
MaryJo1996 · 26-30, F
I don't go out on dates or enter into relationhips so i've never been in the situation myself.

But to me this just sounds like she was having her cake and eating it, and only now has she told you because guilt has finally caught up with her.

And if she's in an open relationship, then she should have been upfront about that with you from the beginning.
Fluffybull · F
Move on and find someone's who's single.

@SandWitch I can't know for sure what's deep in his heart

But I'm betting 100% on the fact he doesn't want to share or deal with another man 😪

See what happens?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
Either way it will not end well. Best to cut your losses and move on. What she is doing to others she will do to you.
I think you are right to be concerned.

Is this a cuckold relationship? Guy lost his drive?

Odd.
Lostlostlost · 51-55, M
Just go with the flow, see where it leads
I would say she is not so wonderful.
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
Sounds like trouble to me. Unless you're into MFM, I'd bail asap.
AndrewF · 51-55
@uncalled4 F/M/F is what I would rather do. This is big no.
Donotfolowme · 51-55, F
Seems like the kind of information that should've been disclosed prior to even going out ... so one must wonder why it was omitted

Not being forthcoming would make me want to move on

@SandWitch I was addressing @AndrewF.

The entire stage of the relationship is set in the sugarbaby context.

It isn't about her being evil, it's about his obliviousness to the context in which this occurred. Why would he expect a real relationship?

It's akin to buying an hour with a prostitute and expecting that to result in an exclusive relationship.

lmao
