New partner won't wear a condom

Recently started seeing a lovely man ♥️ Met through a mutual friend and hit it off instantly, despite me never wanting to get involved with a man ever again.
Never thought I'd change my mind but gosh he's totally amazing!

We have met a few times now and it's all been lovely and have discussed progressing our friendship and moving things along... 😉

However... he is not keen to use condoms 🙁 He's been married a long time but says don't have sex and I believe him. I really feel like I want to insist on condoms though but oh my goodness, I have proper caught the feels and WANT him!

What to do MN?

Not start a relationship with a married man? He isn’t really ‘amazing’ if he’s cheating on his wife is he?

If he won’t use condoms with you, he won’t be using them for the other women he’s shagging either.

CocoapuffPuff · 09/07/2024 14:47

You're the other woman? He's married?

Get some self respect and find an unattached man to shag.

SuncreamAndIceCream · 09/07/2024 14:47

I'm sorry what... he's still married?

Don't fuck a married man. Don't fuck a man too stupid and selfish to use protection. The advice is squared when he's both.

I wonder if this thread will be deleted.

Throwawayme · 09/07/2024 14:48

Get rid. He's married.

RubyWriter · 09/07/2024 14:48

Echo previous posters and also wouldn’t sleep with a new man who wouldn’t want to wear a condom. It’s sort of the principle of it? As if who else is he shagging/has he slept with without using a condom?

LittleGreenDragons · 09/07/2024 14:49

He's been married a long time but says don't have sex and I believe him.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Pull the other one. He doesn't want to buy condoms because he's scare the wife will find them.

He's not divorced or even separated?

SwordToFlamethrower · 09/07/2024 14:49

He is lying to you, he deffo has sex with his wife. Get rid, don't degrade yourself

KeirSpoutsTwaddle · 09/07/2024 14:51

Such fun! A man who wants his own way in everything- no condom, no fidelity- as I say, such fun! What a catch!

Pieceofpurplesky · 09/07/2024 14:51

His poor wife. Are you always so insensitive?

keylimedog · 09/07/2024 14:51

Bin him off 😂

He's definitely still sleeping with his wife - don't fall for his lines 😂

Hahaha.

Mug.
Face.
Written all over.

Seriously op. He's shagging his wife. And even if he wasn't he's a chancey bastard trying to coerce a new sexual partner into sex with out a condom.
Grim. He's vile.

CollyBobble · 09/07/2024 14:53

'Recently started seeing'

Old fashioned view (sadly) but the quicker you sleep with him the less likely you'll have a lasting relationship with him. Of course there are exceptions to that but a lot of men (in my experience) don't want a lasting relationship with a woman who's quick to sleep with them. They see women that do as being as short term dating for sex only.

BeyondMyWits · 09/07/2024 14:54

Married.
No condom.

Please set your bar higher.

EBearhug · 09/07/2024 14:55

Whether or not he's having sex with his wife isn't very relevant. Wait till he's got divorced, else it's going to get messy.

But - if you meet a man, any man you want to have sex with, and he doesn't want to wear condoms, then no sex until you have both had full STI screening that comes back clear. Don't just take his word for it, either - ask to see the text/email/letter. This should be the case even if you are using a coil/the Pill/ injections/implants/ whatever.

Hotgoose · 09/07/2024 14:56

He sounds the opposite of amazing. He’s married and won’t use condoms…run girl!

Married? Im sorry but condoms is least of your worries.
This won’t end well.
