Is this jealousy or intuition?

The thing that stuck out most to me is that "you were off for a month." Ding ding that doesn't sound normal and neither does on and off dates for 3-4 months. He's not wanting anything committal. Sounds like he's just having fun. Someone to want him while he dilly-dallies around. I'm not trying to be rude to him or you. I think you need someone who will actually want to be with you and not take 4 months of dates and talk about taking an ex out. To me, that is an instant red flag.
I'd tell him he needs to *kitten* or get off the pot.
if I may say so... this is a great answer. go with this!0 -
Why is it that as soon as people start dating they gain Hooks! What's wrong with someone maintaining a healthy sexual relationship with others when not actually being "in wedlock". Haven't you ever heard the old proverb?
Biblically speaking, there is a lot wrong with premarital sex, but I wont get into that here. Most women replying on here have enough respect for themselves and their bodies that they wont allow men to use them and lose them.
there's a lot in the bible about a lot of things that we still do anyway...let's use our own moral compass instead of relying on what we are told from a book written 1400 years ago.
Premarital sex is not some big 'sin', and dating multiple people at the same time is not wrong as long as anyone involved isn't under the illusion this is exclusive.
As long as everyone uses protection then there should be no issues as long as all are consenting, mature adults.
also - sex is a 2 way thing - it isn't men using women. The fun goes both ways...0 -
So far every answer I have heard here sounds like these two are married already. They are dating people!
10 dates. REALLY?
Moving towards a commitment! REALLY?
How the hell can you truly know who someone is before a couple of years of watching their patterns?
That's why this country has an incredible divorce rate. No one is willing to take the time to honestly get to know someone. Everyone wants to stuff there capture in to a personal mold of what they want!
it's sad!
It's sad that you are being serious.
I think both men and women would have a problem being in a casual relationship for two years before officially dating.
Really, I was in a casual relationship for 7 years before wedlock, now happily married for over 17 YEARS!!!!! I lived my life before committing it to another! Getting to know the other person I will spend the REST OF MY LIFE WITH!!!!!!!
That's why I don't look elsewhere NOW!!! I didn't miss out on anything, which coming from a man, is why most men CHEAT!!!
They feel they are MISSING OUT ON SOMETHING!
Getting married is the beginning of the COMMITMENT!!!0 -

Yea but it also says if kids curse at their parents, the kids should be put to death.0 -
I think you should try changing who he is as a person. Look at it as a challenge. Relationships always work best when you try to change the person early on instead of just searching for compatibility. I mean, duh, relationships are HARD WORK! Most of the hard work comes from changing them into what you want them to be. I think you should just stick it out and work harder at molding him instead of moving on to find someone else. That's just my two cents.0

So I am dating this guy. We've been dating on and off for about 3 months, roughly 10 dates. We have been off for the past month, but are back on currently. We went out yesterday and he informed me that he is taking his ex (who happens to be a stripper, who he had a threesome with) out to dinner for her birthday on Friday. Am I just jealous, or is my intuition kicking in here? Maybe I'm jealous just because her profession. If she were an accountant, would I be feeling the same?
I told him straight up, as long as you aren't giving her birthday sex. BUT instead of telling me I have nothing to worry about, he says "We can't. She's not coming to my house." Am I over thinking that statement? Are guys just that stupid that that is the first thing that came into his head?
And finally... how can I talk to him about this concerning me without sounding whiny, jealous or complaining. I don't want to care if he hangs out with an ex. I just feel very concerned about the situation. And I would like to address it to him without attacking him.
Please help me ... :ohwell:
I suspect the on again/off again deal is because he doesn't want anything serious with you. And who cares if she's a stripper--that's nothing to be jealous of. The real question isn't necessarily is he an idiot (and he most certain is or just really young and stupid because he couldn't come up with a better response) but why is he taking an ex-girlfriend to dinner? And what, he should get brownie points for coming clean to you about it? That's f*ed up. Bottom line--your intuition is right. You're an attractive woman and all guys aren't stupid--he's stupid. If you want something serious, he's a waste of your time.0 -
Big hugs. I love you MFP forums. Even on vacation you always make my day better. No shortage of stupid here.

Maybe you could just talk him into another threesome. You, him & the stripper. That way, no one is left out.0

Um, he doesn't give a crap about you, move on. Seriously. Not OK, even a little bit. You need some self esteem and to stand up for yourself.0

I would like to clarify somethings.
1) The first time we dated was for about two months. I, after two months asked him to meet my son. He was not ready. I took this as him not wanting to be serious. HOWEVER, when I broke it off I did break his heart. He did really care for me, he just wasn't ready to meet my son. He did contact me weeks later and tell me he would like to take me and my son to the park. But I was dating this other guy... sooo I did hurt him, and he did want something serious.
2) We both dated while we were off. I dated a guy I've known for a very long time and we got physical together. He on the other hand dated, but nothing phsyical. I know this because the first time we were intimate when we started dating again, he whispered in my ear that he hadn't been with anyone since me. No reason to sprout lies, since he has always been honest.
3) It's not that I don't trust him. We have talked about where we would like this relationship to go. We just aren't "there" yet. He's been honest enough to say he's cheated before (on this chick that's he taking to dinner!!) because she cheated on him. I've been cheated on... so I think that all plays into how I feel.
So having said that... does it change any opinions.
I think I'm just going to call him and talk to him. Unfortunately we don't have the opportunity to meet up before Friday when he takes the ex to dinner. I appreciate all the opinions and advice. No clue yet where to go from here. But I know I deserve a good man. Based on how the conversation goes, I know I will be able to figure it out!
Ok this makes a little more sense now that you've been dating on off for 3 months. Does he show he wants to be with you and be with only you?
However, taking the ex out for dinner is still a bit fishy. I'm not saying her profession has anything to do with this. I've remained good friends with someone I've dated for 2 years. We still exchange a few words every few months, but we've never ever had the urgency to take each other to dinner, not even for a birthday or Christmas or any special occasion. We live our lives separately, but are still in touch.
It's definitely worth talking to him about. That's the way to go and if he still can't make you feel better about it then I'd say you might take another look at dating him.0 -

Context is key. Feel free to send me a private message if you are interested in learning more!

You've dated 10 times! If he's not willing to change for you, then you should try to change him.

I'm going to have to go with Sofa on this one. Obviously you did not pick up on the sarcasm he was putting out.
It's ok Sofa, you are not stupid. ::PATSHEAD::0 -
Teell him straight out that if he is seeing her you aren't interested, you will soon see what his decision is!!

He sounds like a class act, tell him to get back on Craigslist and get lost. You can do MUCH better than that honey. Hes SLIMEY.0

He's telling you that if you're looking for a serious relationship, don't look at him. So if you are, don't. If you're ok with on again off again, ok.0

Sounds like a douche to me. Don't waste your time. You can find someone who will treat you better.0

that is how Angie and I met...maybe you will make a new friend!0 -

Let's dispense with the generalizations and think rationally here for a second. You are hearing a lot of information you probably don't want to hear [but likely suspect]. You started out with a vague scenario, only to provide more details when you attempted to rationalize your stance. The crowd still votes, "nay."
If he liked it, he would've put a ring on it.

I appreciate what you're saying, but it's your opinion only. You can choose to believe the Bible is outdated while others can choose to follow it. That doesn't make you right and them wrong, or visa versa.
Just sayin'.0 -
Dump the loser. Jealousy or not, his comment was inappropriate. There are so many other men out there that would never put you in that situation.0
-
It's both. He still has a thing for her or he wouldn't still be hanging around her. And I can't imagine any way one woman could compete with a threesome. Just sayin'0
-
Well if you really want to be with him, and truly feel you are just being jealous, then you should ask him where y'all are going and what time cause if he is "friends" with his ex and you are his girlfriend you should be more then welcome at this birthday dinner. If you are not welcome then get out of the situation.0
-
All I could say for sure is that if it were me...I couldn't bare the thought of my guy going with someone else. Some might call that jealousy...others call it loyalty.0
