My DS 16 and in Y12 had a GF for 6 months that became physical he has had GF before but this was his first full on relationship.They broke up for various reasons. She used to come over and after a while I allowed them to be in his bedroom and was aware that there relationships became consensually physical.
A weeks down the line after breaking up he has now met a new girl same year group.

He wants her to come over and whilst I think it’s a bit quick after the last girl, I have said yes but with restrictions.
i have said to him under no circumstances are they going to his bedroom and they can stay downstairs for now and will see how things go.
I feel that he needs rules in place at the minute and don’t know the girl. I am sure she is lovely but I also have a younger DD to consider.
My teens are always welcome to bring friends over but do you think I am right putting rules in place?

My BF has just been diagnosed with an illness that can be managed through lifestyle changes and has been depressed for a while partly due to his health and other factors going on in his life. We haven’t had sex for well over a year and I accepted this until an old friend of his reappeared in his life whom he clearly demonstrated he was sexually attracted too. I raised my concerns about this friendship and after a lot of arguments he is no longer in contact with her but he still has shown no interest in sex with me. Does this mean he is simply not attracted to me in that way anymore?

This is not meant for me, do you want to get it removed ?

Yes please sorry new here!

I agree with you. We only allow long term partners in bedrooms, not new or random. There could be a different girl up there very few weeks!

Thank you @FrenchandSaunders It just doesn’t sit right with me at all. He isn’t very happy about it but I am standing firm as like you say it could be like revolving doors.
