Sex, once being something people entered into into a lot more freely - with concerns but disease maybe not Being high on the list. Suddenly became something rather disconcerting: Should we , shouldn’t we, Wait period, can I trust you physiologically etc. Completely different world and approach to everyone in it in one lifetime. I don’t think everyone Experiences enormous shifts like that. War is smother of course. As well as liberation movements.

we were on and off hooking up for a year then consistently seeing each other for 5 months. he always told me a relationship wasn't what he wanted or needed at the moment and we weren't exclusive but we spent a lot of time together and were basically dating just without the label.

then all this drama happened, he had sex with one of my friends when she was blacked out, lied to 3 girls about having genital herpes, ditched me to go to the clinic to have sex with another girl. he is moving away to another school in 2 months to finish his degree and we cut things off because of everything that went down and there's no point in continuing to see each other when he is moving away.

now I find out that he is exclusive with a new girl less than a month after ending things with me. his reasoning is that after all that happened he needs some stability and he can find it with her. they are both going to the same school on another continent for the next 2 years also. so it makes sense, but still feels shitty. is his reasoning valid or is it BS?
