I think I've scarred him for life

I am kind of in the same frame of mind your husband seems to be in. I have one woman as a life mate and can not see myself enduring the increased complexity of several.

I can see the ability to genuinely love many people deeply and be committed to them but the mental, emotional and even physical gymnastics necessary to live this lifestyle seems overwhelming.

I have no negative beliefs about such relationships in general just a belief that it's complicated and personally my mantra has been "simplify, simplify, simplify."
