But if you want to continue seeing him, keep it low key and see others.

I’d stop sleeping with him though. I know you said you are ok having casual sex without exclusively and you fell liberated but deep inside I think it’s just disrespectful and rude to sleep with a woman while talking to other women on dating sites.

You deserve better than that. Congratulations on addressing it and finding out early on. You did the right thing!
Yeah, I agree with Divine on the sex thing but for a different reason, and please don't everyone jump on me for this. It's just how I do things, and I"m fine with it. But if I'm having casual sex with someone, I'm not dating them or seeing them often. It's casual sex because it's just sex. There's no intimate connection being developed while dating.

So if you want a booty call, keep his number around, but otherwise, I wouldn't date him any more. Not until he can at least date you exclusively.
