I've known my boyfriend for 5 years, and we've been in a relationship for 2 years. We love each other and have an amazing relationship, which most of the people I know recognize. However, some people have trouble believing that we're all that serious because we're not exclusive.
I have another boyfriend, and he has a boyfriend and a girlfriend. Being with people outside of our relationship doesn't harm it or make it weak, but rather makes us happier. I love knowing that he's loved by other people as well, especially his boyfriend, who he is deeply in love with and who is like a brother to me.
Difficulty to understand this at first is fine by me, but what I'm wondering is why some people consider this such a terrible thing and how some people could consider it cheating at all. Cheating is non-consensual.
I suppose my question is, if you are opposed to other people practicing consensual non-monogamy, what are your reasons?
