That was a LONG time ago, like 25 years! However, when we met we were both seeing other people. We were exclusive within a month.

I was dating and sleeping with my first husband when I met my Master in college. We were best friends though at the time. We did date briefly in 1991 but broke up and got back together in 1997. I was married at the time that we got together but it wasn't a very happy one. We divorced a year later and I've been with my Master ever since.

My boyfriend and I both had casual partners when we met. We both just told our current "friends with benefits" that it had to end and were exclusive soon after.

I knew my guy as a friend before I dated my ex. Then I dated my ex, then broke up with him and started talking to my guy again, then we got together a while later.

I did meet my wife while dating someone else - and she was engaged to someone else. It was complicated - but we got through it and have been very happy for the past 21+ years.

I can focus on more than one person at a time. I am capable of being Polyamorous. But, I choose to remain Monogamous for the time.

But, when I met My Man, I was a virgin and didn't have a lot of dating experience. I was not dating or sleeping with anyone else. He was my first.

I was sleeping with someone else when I first met my current bf, but I didn't start dating him til 5 months after we met. So by the time I started sleeping with my bf I hadn't been with my previous partner for a couple of months.

I was, of course, still sleeping with Sigel when I met Arch. We chose to open our marriage mainly because monogamy really never worked for us, no matter how we tried to make it work. We are much happier with most aspects of our life now...just really hate living in two countries.

I had a FWB when I met my wife, it was two months before we started dating. By then my FWB was gone to college so it worked out just fine.

I was single, and had been for quite a few years, when I met my man. He had been single even longer than I had been, but had had a few casual flings during that time. We became exclusive about 2 months after meeting, and the rest is history!

When I met my bf I had a couple of FWB and he knew about them. He had no problem with them because he had FWB too. We like to keep an open relationship at times, but only if we both agree.

We both were. When she met me she did a photo shoot of me fucking another girl. When I met her it was between me and some guy from the bar.

I've had very little dating experience and my man is the first person I've slept with, so I was a single virgin when we met.

We were both married to other people. We cheated for a while before divorces happened and we moved in together.

I was sleeping with my best friend and we were pretending that we were going to stop because of feelings and such, I started dating my current girlfriend and once I decided I wanted to really date her, that was that. I stopped sleeping with my friend the moment I started talking to her. My friend still tried to sleep with me everytime he saw me but I just stopped hanging out until he understood that he missed out and I have found someone that I dont want to cheat on. (If my girlfriend was so special, I would have continued sleeping with him, as I am not the type to commit to one person)

Honesty is best. I've never cheated, never would.

I met my fiance 3 months after I broke up with my ex. I don't think it's right to cheat on someone.

Other.

When we met, my husband was single with no girlfriend and I was engaged to someone else. I broke the engagement before I began dating my husband.

My wife was engaged to someone else when we met - too many coincidences!

I was dating but not engaged. We both gracefully ended the prior relationships before getting serious - i.e. sexually involved.
