Would you be jealous if your partner wanted to remain friends with someone they had sex with?

I am a very jealous person when it comes to boyfriends, but don’t care about this per se. I’m likely going to my partner’s ex’s wedding. But I am in a lot better shape (and better looking) so … little bit of a narcissist here… Ha!

Yeah. Look at Arnold Schwarzenegger. There is more than looks, that is true.

Only if there's still some underlying emotional connection. It just comes down to how you communicate your concerns and listen to what your partner says, how they say it and their actions afterwards I think.

No but it depends on the history. Emotional attachment is something I’d be more worried about

Someone they had sex with in the past, or someone they are currently having sex with?

That wouldn’t bother me then if it was in the past.

No. People have histories, and the lgbt community is often small, even in big cities. Your partner is likely to have been around the block before meeting you. They may have hooked up with someone 5, 10 or 15* years ago, but they've moved on, had other hookups and relationships, and after all that, they chose you.

*my spouse and I are in our mid 30s, so 15 years ago was like age 20. Don't be weirded out if you're 23 and see 15 years ago!

I wouldn’t have any friends left if my partner forced me to do that.

Yes. I wouldn’t get be able to handle it. But could also depend on how healthy our relationship was, and what I did with my own free time. But my speculative answer is yes - having sex and then also hanging out, sounds like a relationship to me.

How far in the past are we talking and how many times? If it was a one time drunken hookup then maybe not a big deal but if it was an ongoing FWB situation for years or something like that, maybe it’s a different thing.

No but I get why people would be. I just don’t tend to get jealous.

It depends.

Was it something that happened in the past and they’re platonic now?

Is my partner comfortable introducing me to this friend?

No. My ex was friends with someone they previously dated, and I didn’t care. We broke up for other reasons.

I am friends still with two exes and my partner has no problem with this. We don't live near each other so it's mostly just IG or FB posts. He is still friends with a woman he dated in college. No gold star for him. 😂 and I've met her and she's a sweetheart.

Yes

No.

Initially, yes. But my very best gay friends are people that I’ve slept with, so it would be hypocritical for me to not like my partner doing the same thing.

I don’t think it would bother me if there are no lingering feelings and it was just “sex” in the past. I’m currently friends with someone I’ve shag in the past and we don’t even think of intimacy together again - we’re now platonic.

I mean…have you met lesbians?

42F dating 42M for 9 months. We used to live about 30 minutes away from each other and saw each other once a week, but I moved a few months ago (now10 minutes away) and we still only see each other once a week. He calls me every night and we talk on the phone for 1-2 hours. We do lots of fun stuff together- art fairs, sporting events, and just relax and cook together and watch some movies. He sees his friends once every couple months. Am I wasting my time with this guy? No kids/don't want kids

LF someone who enjoys a balance of going out and lounging at home.
