I've been seeing a guy for about 6 months.
It started off as dating, but basically has morphed into FB / FWB especially as in lock down we never went out on 'dates' together.

We then recently discussed possibly dating again as we liked each other.

I now discover his been on a drunken weekend away with his friends - including another of his FB / FWB who he's known a long time.

I thought we were now exclusive - but it's looking like I'll never know or have the right to know if he's still shagging his friend as I can hardly ask him not to hang around with her as they are 'friends'.

What are you asking?

Well fwb are never exclusive that’s the whole point

DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy · 20/06/2021 14:08

I'm not sure what I'm asking, just that if this situation is ok or not?

As far as I know we are no longer just FWB or FB but are back to dating exclusively

If you're happy with it, then the situation is okay.

If you're not, then it's not.

We can't tell you.

LoopTheLoops · 20/06/2021 14:13

Sounds like he doesn’t think the same way..

If you have had a conversation about exclusivity and he has confirmed you are exclusive then YANBU to expect this. If you’re just guessing then YABU, never assume without asking the question.

Depends whether you talked about being exclusive/relationship, dating alone does not necessarily mean being exclusive.

And who is to know if he is still sleeping with the othet FWB, have you asked him?

Heartofglass12345 · 20/06/2021 14:23

You need to ask him not us. Ask him if he wants to get serious, spell it out for him that you want a proper relationship not just FWB.
Was he definitely sleeping with the other person?
I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with him going on holiday with someone he's had sex with in the past.
You need to find out how he feels and how serious he wants to be.
If you find you want different things now might be the time to end things.
Good luck!

He’s not doing anything wrong, you discussed it but haven’t said you’re exclusive.

If you’re happy to have sex with someone who’s having sex with someone else, then crack on.

If not, bin him off and get an STD test.

CaptSkippy · 20/06/2021 18:14

It sounds like you are not happy with this situation. Six months is not that long and you were never really dating. I'd say block and delete and move on to someone who is interested in a relationship.

I fail to understand why you can't ask him about this.
