5 Dating Lessons to Take with You on Your Way Out
When the relationship you’ve been in for years just isn’t coming together…
Ask Wendy: Dating, Sex & Relationship Advice for the Bold
Hey Wendy,
I’ve been dating a guy from Bumble on and off for years. He broke up with his ex because she cheated on him, and when I learned this at the start, I stopped seeing him because I didn’t want to be his rebound or anything. I felt he needed to heal.
A long story short, we got back together, but when it came to exclusivity, he liked me but not enough to be with me. He said he would commit to me for a physical part and wouldn’t sleep with other people. I don’t fully enjoy spending time with him especially knowing he’s still going on dates with other women.
To complicate things, he’s moving for work (2–3 years) and he doesn’t want a long-distance relationship.
I need some guidance. Should I walk away or keep things light with him?

Hey Grace,
Can you keep things light? By what you’ve shared, I’m not sure you can (and that’s not a value judgment — just an observation). But ultimately, only you get to say.
