Dating After Moving Back in with Family

Unread post by amber »

Heyo everyone!

It has been a bit over a year now since I've moved back in with family and it's not looking like that is changing anytime soon. Recently I've been thinking about navigating sex and dating within my new (old) living situation. I'm curious about how others may have navigated this potentially tricky situation..

Hey, amber, this is a great topic!

I wonder what kind of family dynamics you're dealing with: is this a kind of family where you could ultimately treat this the same way someone might who has housemates? In other words, by being frank about what wants and needs you have around this when it comes to sex and dating, and asking to make some agreements and arrangements around it?
