I'm an older woman (F50) who is just now starting a very unique relationship with a man (M52) and I we've got a half open relationship. (I was the one who made wanted this type of relationship not him) he's got the right and my permission to have sex with other women just as long as he follows the rules that I've set for him.

The two questions that I've got are as follows. The first question is this, is it possible for a man to have sexual intercourse with a woman without catching honest feelings for her? What if he is doing it with the same woman multiple different times like she's someone that he has sex with on a regular basis?

The second question doesn't solely mean one of the women that he's currently having sex with but I'm talking about women that he knew before we met. Is it possible for a single man to have a friendship with a female, who is also single (and sometimes in a relationship) to have a close friendship without there being ANY kind of sexual contact or encounters between them at all and if there is or has been how can I tell?

One of the biggest rules that I've set, that I've made perfectly clear that I won't stand for is him having sex with any woman that he's been with before me or that he's ever had feelings for prior to us getting together but I've got this guy feeling that this is gonna happen because of some things that he's said that he's not aware that I've picked up on and it scares me a whole lot and I need to know how to stop this from taking place beforehand. If he does sleep with someone from his past then our relationship is over immediately forever.

I love this man more than the air I breathe but I'm not going to put myself in the position where I am in competition with some other woman from his past, I'll leave him high and dry and never look back again and burn the bridge while I'm crossing it before I'll let him make a fool of me or hurt me like I've been done before.

If you've got any constructive feedback I'd love to hear it. I'd love to know what your honest opinion is on my questions because I'd like to know from your personal experiences if you've been through this situation or know someone that has and what the outcome of it was.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and thanks in advance for your kindness, support and valued feedback. Please be nice because I am going through enough I don't need any hatefulness or mean comments please. Have a wonderful day.
