Bullshit! Allowing some other POS to be sniffing around her pantie drawer, is not very committed or exclusive.
Just because he's behaving exclusively, does not prove SHE is.
Exactly my point here. There's on two different tracks. He wants exclusivity, she doesn't, then why're they sticking together in the first place? And how are you so sure that she doesn't want exclusivity and is just acting passive aggressive? You don't. You'd rather assume things and act "Alpha" over them, instead of simplifying the whole process and having an honest conversation.

WTF kind of reward does that inspire?
It establishes that fact that you do not compromise on your self esteem and take up her ways and drop yours. You wanted a committed relationship, she did not. So you chose to be like her and fuck around instead of holding your ground. You changed yourself for her? Doesn't work well in the long run, because that's not you. This was NOT his mindset in the first place and his desire for a committed relationship is not wrong.
Quote:
It's not about her, FUCK HER. It's About Him, his personal mind set.
Exactly again. It isn't about her. It is about him and him needs. His current mindset is not happy with her not finding this to be an exclusive relationship. Why can an Alpha male not expect to be in an exclusive relationship? Because it isn't "cool"?

If you start off from the mental place that you are an amazing guy, and that you don’t need a partner (or anyone else for that matter) to validate you, then you are on the right track. The woman you become attracted to becomes important for you, but not necessarily 'everything'. You don’t depend on her to make you feel important, or like a man, or even loved, because those things are already part of you. Therefore as a man you would still be capable of rational thought, and capable too of knowing that your relationship MAY come to an end, but you know that wouldn't be the end of the world, because you are a slick enough person to find someone else worthy of your affection.
That's totally fine and funnily enough, whatever I've said does not dispute this at all. You can treat your relationship as a second priority and your goal as the first. You can be independent of your partner and not validation seeking. But to be unclear of the basic dynamics of your relationship and to take actions on the basis of that? A wastage of time which will lead to frustration, most likely.
X: I want to know the status of our relationship.
HB: We're exclusive/we're not.
X: Alright, very well/Next.
Big deal?
