This might sound daft, but i've been seeing this guy casually for over a year now. Still happy for it to be casual. Thing is i've started to wonder whether he is seeing someone at the same time. We see each other once a week or once every couple of weeks depending on life (work, childcare etc) and we always have a good time.
i've questioned whether hes seeing someone and hes said he isnt because he hasnt got time with work and his kids and he doesnt want to. should i take his word for it? My friends say i have a gift of overthinking things, but maybe some impartial advice?

What's making you think he's seeing someone else?

Fnk1992 · 21/02/2020 20:35

Hes told me that hes cheated in a relationship in the past. I just wonder if seeing someone once a week/every two weeks is enough to keep a guy interested. We message every day. But i'm feeling slightly off

Have you asked to see him more often?

Well you either trust him or you don't. If you don't trust him, then you need to split up.

Yes, we have both mentioned it.

Well doesn’t sound like you’re exclusive so he probably is.

If your happy for it to stay casual then I’d take him at his word but I understand where you’re coming from by being curious about it as I wouldn’t want to be lied to about it and then have a text message of abuse sent to me by the gf assuming your the OW.

Well, if a man said he was happy to only see me casually, I would take that to mean i was free to see other people. I wouldn't lie if asked whether I had seen someone else but wouldn't really see it as his business unless it became exclusive with the other guy in which case I would end things.

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding but do you mean you are concerned about him cheating on you or being with someone else and seeing you on the side?

If it is the former, I think you have to have an open conversation if you want to see him more and be exclusive.

If the latter and you are happy remaining casual, you can only go with your gut feeling now you have asked him.
