I think you should only be in one of them. That way is doesn't make the other person jealous.

@limegreenKiwi7397  Define "date".  If you're non-exclusive and both parties know that you're non-exclusive because you've stated "Hey, I'm not monogamous and I'm not interested in being in an exclusive relationship", and all parties are ok with it, then it's totally fine.  Just remember that non-exclusive goes both ways. Jealousy not allowed from either party. lol

@limegreenKiwi7397 Then, no, that is NOT ok.  It's only ok when all parties are knowledgeable and agree.

in my experience don’t do this, or at least come clean to both. This hurts when they find out especially on the bf side.


my ex boyfriend did this to me. If you are in a committed relationship and you choose to still have a fwb, you are telling your bf he is not enough. Your fwb if they know about the bf, are more likely to feel superior or like they matter so much you are willing to lie to the person you are “committed” to.


coming clean would be the best option, you have the possibility of retaining both or one. You also have to consider how important it is to obtaining both, if you are not satisfied with just one then you might consider not being in a committed relationship for now.
