And if Tav doesn't like it I guess this means break up because he has to follow his "nature".

If you select the option to reject him after you admitted that you feel the same but your nature is different to his nature (meaning you want monogamous relationship and not what he wants) there is a bug - he will first react to the rejection (saying he had to try at least) but the next day he will great you with the normal romance dialog, calling you lover etc.

Yes, it's true that his feelings might change and he might want to take another lover at some point, but considering "his heart doesn't stirr lightly" one can assume that another lover isn't really on the table in the near future at least. And what does that make him then? Well, monogamous. Aren't all monogamous relationships sort of like that? Everyone who's in a relationship might fall in love with someone else at some point, and at that point one would reevaluate the one they're in. The problem I find isn't that he can't promise himself to Tav for eternity of whatever, my problem is that at this point he doesn't want anyone else, and he says so and makes a point of telling you it's a rare feeling, so why can't he just agree to only be with Tav for now and see where that takes them? And then let Tav know if things changes so that they can either agree to poly at that time or end it. If he truly has a heart that doesn't stirr lightly, then one can assume that this relationshop will be monogamous for the foreseeable future (if that's what Tav wants), as most monogamous relationship is. There should at least be an option to talk to him about it and express your own thoughts and views and perhaps ask him to be just with you for now. like: "I want you, but I don't want to share. I don't ask for forever, only that you stay true to me for however long this will last."

I don't know. It just annoys me that he's manipulating you into really liking him and then telling you how much he likes you, and then only to throw his garbage about roaming free in your face after you've probably rejected everyone else for him, and at which point it's impossible to romance someone else. So it's either, be alone or agree to a relationship that doesn't feel right.
