Have decided that the sex issue is a big deal to me but in weighing up the pros and cons, I like this guy, he's sweet, caring and nice... and I highly doubt he will cheat so I'll hang around and see what happens...

I still think that in 7 days back having a 'nookie' just twice is a little strange. What I think I will do if we are still together next time he gets back is lay off me initating the sex... will just see what happens.

Staying positive is the key. Either he is right for me or not... time will tell. I am just so scared of getting hurt and also of wasting time if it's not right. I want marriage, I want kids and after being in 3 long term relationships (7 years, 2.5 years and 5.5 years) that ended in nothing, I feel that time is slipping away.

Love you all for the responses, means heaps to me to be able to get varied opinions xx
