How would you gauge this relationship situation?

a. known each other for four years, have been seeing each other for ~5 months
b. live roughly 8 miles apart
c. she brought up the exclusivity conversation (not seeing anyone else) in month #2 and it's been upheld on both sides since then
d. only see each other between 1-3 times a week, only on weekends (i.e. some combination of Friday/Saturday/Sunday) because she's relatively busy with work and values alone time

This is a normal thing, right? I'm used to usually seeing the person I'm with much more regularly, but I think that's maybe due to the fact that I lived with the last person that I dated (for 2-3 years) so I'm used to seeing that person every day and being much more involved. Is this generally how normal relationships go?

Well are you content with that? Cause there isn't really a "normal". Gonna vary with each couple.

Normal. My husband and I dated that way for the first year of dating.

Seems to be fine now. But just whatever you two can live with and are happy with. As your relationship goes on and it gets more serious, y'all probably will start to gradually spend more time together. If something feels wrong though, don't be afraid to bring it up

Sounds like one person is unhappy and that person sounds like you. Either man up and explain it to her of get it pushed to the side over and over until you resent her.

Grab your balls bro or quit being a bitch is my advice.

Things aren't that hard but you people make it much more difficult than it really is.

Sending good vibes your way Godspeed. Bc
You may need it.

1-3 times a week is fine for 5 months in. As long as you are both happy, who cares?

I fell you bro. I've been seeing this woman for about 3 months. I only see her 4 to 6 times a week, hardly ever on weekends. I can't figure out what she does with her "alone" time when she's not at work.


ETA: No bullshite, do yall (four letter word) each other? What is normal? Answer is whatever you both want to do is just fine.

I've been in a kind of similar situation for a year but we have never talked about being exclusive and started hooking up right when we met. We met a year ago and see each other 1-2 times a week and that's it, and never talk besides when we hang out. I like her but it's perfect so I am not complaining!

Seems pretty normal to me given that y'all don't live together. Hell, sometimes I only see my wife for more than five minutes 3-4 times a week when we have conflicting work schedules.

Hahahahahahahahaha a chick that's in her 20's only wanting to see a guy 1-3 times a week isnt being exclusive. Women are dying to get a ring and have babies (most) at that age . You're in a competition buddy sorry to let you know that. She's just controlling you and mind fricking you. Also I'd bet she's not having sex with you either. You're her "comfort stick" that's all and her exclusively is just making sure you're there when she needs you. You know this already or you wouldn't have started this post.

She's putting up walls because she's frightened by how strong her feelings are for you. If you truly love her, then it's your jobs to demolish these walls by any means necessary. Surprise her at work, a lot, like almost every day. Tell her you got evicted and you need to stay with her until you can find a new place, and then just never find a new place. You're going to have to be romantically manipulative but just try and spend every moment you can with her regardless of whether or not she acts like she doesn't want it.

Are y'all having sex every week? For a relationship that is 5 months old you should be having sex at least 3 times a week, imo

Count your blessings, my son.

You get laid regularly and have your freedom too.

WTF more could you ask for?
