He was only four weeks out from a messy marriage separation and I knew our relationship was never going to go anywhere but the bedroom.The problem is, last week he slept with someone else and told me ALL ABOUT her. I asked him to please, if he's going to sleep with other people, not give me specific details. I didn't think it would bother me that he's dating others (I'm not falling for him at all), but it's been bothering me more and more. Last night he told me he couldn't hang out because he had his daughter, but it turns out she spent the night.Does anyone have advice for how to handle this situation? I don't particularly want to stop seeing him altogether (if I may be frank, the sex is fantastic), I just want to distance myself emotionally. Am I asking for the impossible?Thank you.

snackattack is verified as being by the original poster of the question Thanks for the responses, honestly. I think it's likely that I'm just not cut out for a FWB situation. I won't sleep with you unless I like you, and if I like you I get emotionally confused if you want to sleep with others. Not for me, man. Time to bow out of this one and let someone else play Florence Nightengale for Sad Divorced Guy.
