[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm dating someone and we only see each other about once a week because of work and other responsibilities. That also means we only have sex about once a week. We're both mid-40s, is it reasonable to think that sex once a week is good enough in this situation or is he likely sleeping with someone else?[/quote]

You know who would know? Him! You should ask if he is seeing other people for sex health reasons anyway[/quote]

THIS, OP. What PP says above.

OP, you post says nothing about whether you and he have clearly discussed being exclusive. "Dating" around here means anything from "In a serious committed relationship" to "two dates, sex on both, and never saw him again." What's your "dating" mean here?

If you have not had the exclusivity talk, you need to have it now. If you feel you [u]can't[/u] have that talk with someone with whom you are having regular sex --if you're skittish, or afraid he'll balk and leave if you ask about it--then you are not as close to him as you think, and he's seeing you mostly for sex, not for the relationship. No adult should be leery of talking to a sex partner about exclusivity, and if you are leery, that's a bad sign. Please don't keep sleeping with him if you're not sure you're exclusive, since exclusivity seems to be what you want and need. And you both should have tested for STDs already too. Romantic it isn't, but it's smart. [/quote]
