How long did you date your SO before deciding to become exclusive? Who initiated the exclusivity?
We're not exclusive. So I suppose he's not really an SO. There's another guy on the edge of things too. The other guy would like exclusivity. Me and the non-SO are happy being unexclusive.
Since I was going to get married to someone else a year ago I'm no longer in any rush for commitment.

How long did you go without communicating between dates before
becoming exclusive?
Me and the non-SO see each other daily (we work in the same place). Only difference now is that we spend time out of work together too. Other guy lives several thousand miles away so I see him briefly every few months.

What is the age gap between you and your SO?
Non-SO is 12 years older than me. Other guy is 7 years older than me.

What traits did you not like about your SO but felt were worth overlooking?
Both have a few imperfections that are outweighted by their good points. I'm probably harder to put up with than they are.

Do you think you'd be happier single?
No, I think it'd just be a different type of happiness.
