Am I just an old prude?

Is sleeping with 4 different people in a month a bit...I don’t know...grim?

I just found this out about someone and it makes me feel a bit sick. AIBU?

Are you the person that slept with 4 people?

No?

Not really your business then is it Hmm

Marshmallow91 · 06/10/2019 20:47

Yes, you are.

Mind your own business.

holdtheladdersteady · 06/10/2019 20:48

No. It’s my partner. And I was one of those people he slept with.

Its up to them what they do, just as long as they are been careful.

Yabu

As long as the person enjoyed themselves, it was all consensual and safe then why shouldn't they sleep with as many people as they like?!

ErickBroch · 06/10/2019 20:48

YABU.

bigchris · 06/10/2019 20:49

Its your partner ??

CalmFizz · 06/10/2019 20:49

Do you feel you were mislead about the exclusivity of your sex life?

Did you use condoms?

Leftielefterson · 06/10/2019 20:49

Live and let live.

Mummyoftwo91 · 06/10/2019 20:49

Good for them!

Neverender · 06/10/2019 20:49

Nah as lo as you're safe and not promising anyone anything then I think that's fine

HeadintheiClouds · 06/10/2019 20:49

You’re allowed an opinion on things which aren’t your business - how the hell do you think Mumsnet is still up and running?! 😂
Yes, op, it’s grim. In my opinion...

Ginger1982 · 06/10/2019 20:50

Is this a recent revelation or did this happen a while ago?

NooneToldMeItWasRaining · 06/10/2019 20:50

YANBU

I think its grim too. Male or female. Bit old fashioned here but I have only ever had sex with people I am really interested in, hence there couldn't be several in the space of one month.

Shoxfordian · 06/10/2019 20:50

So your partner cheated on you?!

Lessthanzero · 06/10/2019 20:50

What? Your partner slept with 4 people in one month and your concern is the amount of people.

Are they allowed to sleep with other people?

NewStart571 · 06/10/2019 20:50

Can you give more information OP? Was this when you first got together?

If so, was everyone protected and have they been faithful since you decided to be exclusive?

I have to say, this wouldn’t be for me. But I’m sure others will feel differently.

BackOnceAgainWithABurnerEmail · 06/10/2019 20:50

Oh do you feel a bit ‘one of many’ rather than special? How long ago is this and how long have you been together?

Kanga83 · 06/10/2019 20:50

I think it's a bit grim, yes.

vodkaredbullgirl · 06/10/2019 20:51

How long you been together? By the sounds of it not that long.

sammylady37 · 06/10/2019 20:51

Goodness knows what you’d think of me then... I slept with 3 different men in 5 days a few weeks ago.

YABU- and very judgmental

holdtheladdersteady · 06/10/2019 20:51

In the space of a month, there were 2 before me, then me, then someone else. Then me again.

ErickBroch · 06/10/2019 20:51

It sounds like it was when they were first meeting/dating - not now

OpiesOldLady · 06/10/2019 20:51

I think if the people involved are unattached - or in an ethical non monogamous relationship - then they can do whatever they like. Hell, I've done more than that in one evening at some of the parties I've been to! Grin

BuffaloCauliflower · 06/10/2019 20:52

I once slept with 3 men in the course of a weekend. None at the same time unfortunately. Judge me all you like, doesn’t bother me.

Unless the 3 other people were when you were meant to be exclusive with your partner, or they were exclusive with one of the other people, I’d try and let it go.
