1. His having dinner with another woman might be perceived as wrong by his girlfriend.

2. I guess his work is not that bad if you've decided to prolong his contract. (doesn't make sense to say his work IS that bad if the employer is going to extend the contract for it.)

3. It is when you start living with someone that you realize whether or not you are meant to be together as a couple.

4. The amount I paid is only one-third of what I was supposed to pay for it.

5. I'm sorry...I can't tell what you are trying to say in this sentence, so I can't help with it. If you mean the person won't be in attendance as much to support you as for his or her own reasons, you could say, "You won't be there as much for me as for your own reasons."

6. It would be less ackward to say, "This item costs only 1/3 of the price of the other one." Saying something is 3Xs cheaper is confusing.

7. This sentence is fine, but I would probably say, "As you grow older, you tend to tire more quickly." You do need a comma after older in your version.

Hope these help.
