You're talking about marring this guy, or he's talking about it. He's poly and you are not. That can work You seem to want it to work. What you agreed to in the beginning is less material IMO than dealing with the here and now and what is coming up for you. But as long as you see his desire for others as being some kind of reflection of you, your value, etc. you will struggle with this. In reality, for many poly folks it is not about your value but about something in them, needs, desires, etc. Their desire for others is not because there is something missing or not working or negative about you, but because they are different emotionally. Because they can love more than one simultaneously. As long as you think to yourself, the only way I'd be into anyone else is if there was something wrong, until you don't project your monogamous lens on the situation you will have trouble accepting that he is different from you in this respect. And that difference can be a good thing.
