Or had ’intimate relations’?

I don’t know if people actually know, but surely they must have picked up on things and sometimes I do think they are making subtle and not-so-subtle remarks.

I’ve never really given it a second thought.
I’m not sure I’d really care.. I might be slightly nosey though. I’d probably ask why in hopefully not a rude way 😂

There is no polite way to ask this. MYOB for God's sake.

How do they know, these people you spent the weekend with? Is it not more possible these people aren’t very nice/ or don’t like you and are bothered to conceal it, or are poor at concealing it?

How would anyone know unless you told them?

I just can't imagine that anyone has wondered about who I was having sex with or how often when I was single or now that I'm in a relationship either!

I certainly don't give it any thought.

I've had a couple of friends confide that they don't have a sexual relationship with their partners anymore. But, again, I don't really care! (I mean, I care that they're unhappy but not about how much sex they're having!)

Some people can't comprehend a lifestyle different from their own where sex and / or a significant other is not an essential for a happy life.

I'd wonder why the fuck they'd told me.

A bit aggressive.
If they were your friend / family member, why not?

I’ve been told about people’s dates, partners, sex lives, babies, pregnancies, cheating…..

It’s all part of life, why shouldn't people talk about their lives, even if it’s more about lack there of?

That being said: I haven’t told anyone anything.
Like I said in op, people have picked on it.
