<human>: Basically, I've been dating a really fantastic guy on and off for about two years now. We started out exclusive, but then I started to feel trapped -- I was only a freshman in college then, and I couldn't see myself not being with anyone else for most and/or all of the remainder of college. It wasn't anything specific about him; I just wanted to feel like I wouldn't have any regrets once I graduated. So I broke it off.

Now we're back together but we're not exclusive - as in we both have the right to see/date/sleep with other people, as long as we're fully informing the other party and the new romantic interest. I'm conflicted about this. He's said he would rather be exclusive, so I feel bad about this situation - but I still feel like I don't want to be tied down. I love him and I want to make him happy. It's also not like I never want to be with him and only him; often I'm really inclined to suggest it, because I love him so much and I do get jealous. But then the fear that I'll regret it/am not exercising my freedom while I have it/etc comes back. 

We're very serious; it's gotten to the point where I actually think I could end up with him. He's by far the most important person who's ever been in my life. I just don't know if I should be trying to conquer my fears and move toward exclusivity, or if I would just resent him/myself/everything in the long run if I tried. 

Also of note might be that he hasn't exercised his right to see/sleep with other people yet. I'm not sure how I'd feel if he did. it might cause some kind of anxiety, but I generally am good at separating just sex from emotional stuff.

I realize there may not be a 'correct' answer to this, but any advice/anecdotes/thoughts are much appreciated.

Can you summarize the given text in a few sentences?
<bot>: love my boyfriend a ton; he prefers to be exclusive, and sometimes i do too, but I want to have the typical hooking up / fun / wild college experience for a while longer.
