Dating Exclusive Relationship
If my new girlfriend agrees to an exclusive relationship, should that include no ’searches’ on dating sites?
I began dating in June (after a long time off the scene) and met several wonderful women, then I found someone special. Before we started sleeping together, we agreed to an exclusive relationship. The connection has been powerful and fast but we both feel this might lead to a LTR. Today, I was using her computer to check my email and local news when the ‘auto type’ feature of her web browser showed me something upsetting: she’s recently browsed M4W postings on Craigslist, about a half dozen. My first impulse is to be straightforward and ask her about it. I know she will probably say I was snooping, but that would just be a distraction from the real issue. If she is bored or unsatisfied, or some other needs are going unspoken or unmet, I want to know. I see this as an opportunity to resolve any doubts. Am I being paranoid? Is it none of my business? Or should I face this head on and not stick my head in the sand? I’d appreciate feedback from women, 40+.
I AM NOT OVER 40, BUT I WOULD ASK HER IF SHE FELT FULFILLED WITH ME. GIVE HER A CHANCE TO TELL YOU IF THERE IS ANY NEEDS OF HERS THAT YOU HAVE YET TO FULFILL.
THEN ASK HER IF THERE IS ANYTHING SHE WANTS TO CONFESS TO YOU. GIVE HER A CHANCE TO DO THIS ON HER OWN, TO TELL YOU WHAT AND WHY.
IF SHE EVADES THE QUESTIONS, TELL HER THAT SHE IS CAUSING DOUBTS IN YOUR MIND. THEN ASK HER MORE SPECIFICALLY WHAT HER DEFINITION OF CHEATING IS. GIVE HER A CHANCE TO ANSWER.
IF SHE DOES NOT TALK ABOUT IT, STILL, THEN ASK HER HOW SHE WOULD FEEL IF YOU WERE STILL DATING OLINE.
REMEMBER PERCEPTION DOES NOT EQUAL INTENT. GIVE HER A CHANCE TO TELL YOU OF HER PERCEPTION AND HER INTENT. AND SHARE YOUR PERCEPTION (THAT YOU THINK SHE IS STILL LOOKING FOR SOMEONE). GIVE HER A CHANCE TO SET THINGS STRAIGHT.
I AGREE WITH YOU IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOU ARE BEING STRUNG ALONG OR DECEIVED, BUT YOU MUST GIVE HER A CHANCE BEFORE YOU REACT. THAT SHOWS EMPATHY AND COMPASSION, WHICH IS WHAT YOU WANT FROM HER, RIGHT?
