RomanceClass.com Advice
Words are only words. They are meaningless. What matters is how you feel about him and how he feels about you, and what you both agree that means. Does it matter if you are "dating" or "talking"? You two are spending time together and having fun. The ONLY thing that matters is that you both agree that this is monogamous or not-monogamous. If one of you thinks whatever your relationship is is "us only" and the other person starts dating other people, it will cause stress.

So he says he won't see anyone else. I imagine you aren't seeing anyone else. So that's that. You are enjoying your time together, being monogamous. He has stressful other things going on in his life. So call it being "dyadian" - i.e. a pair - and leave it at that. To obsess over what words are used is putting too much time and energy into something that doesn't matter.
