New guy, new problems. We somehow got on the topic of sexual partners and he said his number is around 30 - aka he doesn't know the exact number/lost count.

Everytime he says something sweet to me now, in my head I automatically think "how many has he said that to?" Told him I wasn't looking for a fling and he said he wasn't either. If I didn't know his number, none of this would matter but now that I know it, I can't stop letting it bother me when I know it shouldnt.

Is this a red flag or am I overthinking?

Depends on his age, and partner selection (relationship vs one nighters). You might want to make decision if there might be possibility of STD. Not sure why he said the number - bragging? Like, who is counting?

Easy solution. You say "new problems." Stop unless you enjoy the drama of problems.

How old are you and how old is he? Has he been screened for STDs that you can confirm?

He's 33. He's clean, says he has always been regularly tested.

It's only a number he threw out at you. You don't even know if it's the truth. Maybe it was to see your reaction. If he lost count, how does he know it's even 30?


That's why I never asked nor did I ever tell.

If you're that bothered by it, perhaps you two are incompatible. I never inquired about numbers. If they divulged, fine, but it wasn't something I cared to ask. *shrug*

He says... well, that actually raise a red flag for me. People who have been regularly tested probably have unsafe sex with random partners. Maybe it's nothing, but I don't like how it sounds...

It's not like it's 30,000. He's not Wilt Chamberlain. Is he Wilt Chamberlain? I don't think 30 at the age of 33 is so horrific. That's just me though.

Have you seen any tests or does he just tell you he's clean and so far you've not seen any indication otherwise?
