Is this normal or is he a "player"?
Hi Everyone--
I am hoping for your opinion about my situation.
My significant other is the perfect man in many ways--he's very intelligent, fun, great in bed (and I mean GREAT), has great taste in music, etc. We've been together a year and were friends for a year or so before that.
He is also very social and has a very large pool of friends, many of whom are female. I am typically not the jealous type, but he seems to have several very close relationships with a few of his female friends--two of whom he chats with online nearly every night. He also took a trip to Canada to visit one of them who lives there, though he assured me that they are just really good friends.
Now, part of me wants to believe him and trust that there is nothing "romantic" going on between him and these female friends, but another part of me thinks that it is not really "normal" for a man who is in a serious relationship with someone (me) to have this sort of extensive contact with other women. Am I being paranoid and jealous, or do you think that there is some truth to my suspicions? Is he a player or is the problem on my end (my inability to trust him fully)?
I am not sure why he would seek out further romance elsewhere as our sex life is completely hot and we have a lot of fun together. We are also very intellectually compatible and share the same political views. From all that I can see, he enjoys being with me and cares for me as much as I enjoy being with him and care for him.
However, I still have these nagging doubts and do not know what to think of his relationships with these other women.
