And the game didn't give me an option to tell him that I just wanted to let him know this happened and wasn't actually planning to sleep with Halsin.
Well, that's better than the Shadowheart scenario, at least. She instantly knows you're talking about Halsin (probably because she's already said no about poly with ANYONE ELSE in act 2, lol) and unlike in those scenarios in act 2, she's supportive of it. If you say never mind, she encourages you to go through with it anyway.. and wants the details. The followup dialogue choices to that all lead to rather disturbing responses.

And as others said, if you only romance Halsin, none of this happens. Suddenly nobody is interested in him and he's not interested in anyone else. Yet still, he's not open for mono. If they really want to push this terrible narrative, they should've allowed you to ask all other companions to join in, if Halsin is your only romance at that point. But they didn't, because they didn't think it through at all, he's just added in as a meme romance.
