Im really torn on this issue :-D
On one hand, im poly, I dont see what his problem is.
On the other, I date usually vanilla non poly guys that would have a problem with it.
If I am in a relationship where I refer to my partner as "boyfriend or girlfriend," we have either discussed having other partners, or I think that they are off limits until such time that we have that discussion. but, my polyness is really such a big part of me that its brought up in conversation usually before the second date.
But, the issue here is that "he" wants to break up with you. Sure, its a really stupid reason to some people, but he has a problem with it. And if yall havent been able to work it out in the month since it happened, it will haunt your relationship. Even if he "says" he will get over it, it will still pop up later on. That quip about the dishes? think of that.
Zoe, you are a great and wonderful girl, and I wish you the best in whatever you decide to do.
