It's still pretty early at 5 weeks and he's demonstrating that he likes you in other ways. I would just give it some time. If in another month he's still not spending the night then I would ask him about it (keeping it light).

OP



That is fine but I am pretty sure you TOLD your lady that so that she understood why. He has not said explicitly why he wont and that is what OP is bothered by. Either you accept that he has no good answer or find someone who won't make you raise the question. My sweetie prefers his bed to mine but he loves me and sleeps at my house sometimes anyway.

Have you spend the night at his place?

You are over thinking this. He enjoys sex. He enjoys sleeping in his own bed. The end

Continued: OP, you need to talk to your boyfriend about these things instead of engaging in this weird indirect tea leaf reading. People place different emotional significance on these things. Instead of assuming some sort of lack of interest or cheating or whatever, ask him about it and explain that it's important to you.

How old is he? He might have emotional issues (RUN) or he is married.

100% this.

I'd be suspicious, but I'm not like every other psycho on this board who is SO TOTALLY CERTAIN they know him and know your life as to say he's definitely married. People have all kinds of quirks. It wouldn't be too outrageous to guess he had a health condition. But I do agree that you should just ask him. If he gets really put off by you just asking, he's not the guy for you anyway.

Thank god I don't have to date anymore. Married for 20 years. These new rules sound exhausting.


If asking a question "scares off" a man you are better rid of him

It's only been 5 weeks, OP. Relax.
I've been married for 10 years, but still don't love sleeping next to someone all night. It's hard to get a good night's sleep, being woken by noise and movements and worrying I'm doing the same to them. And morning breath grosses me out. I never wanted to be grossed out by someone I'd only started dating.


God, I hope so. You must ask him and report back to let us know if he wets the bed.

The whoring slut wants to know you he won't spend the night.

Ask him! Too many relationships struggle because people don't ask questions when somethings bothering them. Let us know what his answer is!

I can tell he genuinely likes me. Just won't go into details but before parting ways, he always asks me when we are going to see each other next. He is very busy at work (so am I) and I am pleased with the amount of time he devotes to me. I can see he is making efforts.
The only thing is that he will not spend the night with me. I really don't make a big deal of it but it is starting to bother me. We've had week night dates and weekends but after we've had sex, talked for a while and cuddled he goes home. We have made plans to do a day trip next weekend and i asked if he would spend the night away too and he responded that he has to see what else is going on that weekend.
Does anybody have any advice, input or experience to share?


OP, we can all theorize till cows come home. Just ask him. If you are getting naked with someone, you can definitely ask them uncomfortable questions. If you are afraid to ask, then something's going on and you need to examine your own feelings about this discomfort.
