Lots of times, you find out that your boy/girl friend is seeing other men/women as well. Are they just friends / lovers or what? How do you know they are not seeing someone else without / with ulterior motives?
You only know someone is yours: - When they tell you - When you have gone to bed together - When they don't want you out of their sight - When they promise everlasting love

smiley963: Then you were very lucky, to have trustworthy ones!!!
I guess some of us are just not as lucky as others! It is said that your personality, attracts others, thus the fault is yours alone. A bit negative I would say!!!! If we all just see the dark side, there will be no light side either!

Kaybee50: The above two items do not indicate exclusivity. Exclusivity is acquired after both parties involved have mutually discussed and agreed to it.
smiley963: Yes, communication is very important, but things like that, just do not get said, that I know of!!!
But they do get said. It isn't always easy to speak from the heart, this is true. But for me, necessary. It eliminates misunderstandings, misconceptions, and is a healthy basis for a solid foundation.

If you can manage to get that to happen, then you are amazing!

I am absolutely not amazing. Life's experiences and journey are the best teacher, and yet, I still manage to stumble too often by listening to my insecurities and fear.

We do all listen to out insecurities: Once bitten, twice shy... In my case forever...
I think to believe someone 'is yours' suggests a certain amount of possessiveness, or maybe a projection of insecurity leading to a need to possess.
From The Eden Project...In Search of the Magical Other.....James Hollis.
"To be fascinated by the Other is to be possessed by an affected idea. This is what happens in projection. In the most rabid stage of being in love, and rabid is by no means too strong a word, one is unable to do other than obsess on the Other. One is caught in a projective identification with the hearts desire, the boundaries between self and other dissolving again, as they did for the infant. This is the unconscious underpinning of the fascination with the Other, the search to recover the lost paradise of childhood, the original 'participation mystique' with the primary caregivers.
Similarly, the demand for exclusivity in relationship clearly has its roots in the infants total dependence on the stability of the Other."
Exclusivity can only exist after the three involved mutually agree to it, both women and the man visit the local health department to test free of STDs, and the women demonstrate they can give good head.
