Nietzsche said "Not that you lied to me, but that I no longer believe you, has shaken me." And I think that sums up what you appear to be feeling. It is not that he has lied to you. From what you say it sounds as though he has perhaps not been 100% open with you, perhaps made a lie of omission, but this is not what troubles you. What troubles you is that you no longer believe him, no longer trust him... to what... make you feel special? You said he has always said he wanted others. He has done what he said he wanted, where is the surprise in this? Is it perhaps more that you no longer feel like you hold the same place in his life, in your relationship to him, and this has shaken you? Only you know the answers for sure, I can only ask the questions. Lily is quite right, you have two choices about the situation, either accept it and wear the collar with pride. Or take it off and walk away. Again, none of us can tell you what to do, only you can decide. Weigh the options, talk to him, what is it you really want and can he give you that? You've had a long distance relationship for two years now, that's a long time. Is this going to ever be more than that? I'm not judging, sometimes life pulls two people apart and it can't be helped but you hold on because you know for certain one day it will be different. Do you know for certain it will one day be different, better? Somewhere inside of you are all the answers. Think it through carefully, listen to yourself, do what you have to do. Do it for the right reasons and once you decide, stick to it and don't look back. Good luck with it
