DP and I do not live together. He has his kids every saturday night. I've not yet met them.
What is bothering me slightly is that whenever he has his children, he completely ignores me all weekend. Normally he texts 4/5 times a day - from when he picked his kids up yesterday I've had one text and that was sent at almost midnight last night consisting of 5 words.
Don't get me wrong, I know his focus and attention will be his kids and so it should be - but is there any need to totally ignore me when he's with them? I mean, it takes a couple of seconds to send a text - hardly dragging his attentions away from his children is it?
And it's not as if they're little kids needing a constant watch, they're 15 and 17 years old.
We're supposed to be going out tonight and I have no idea of time or anything because he won't answer my text until he's dropped them off at home. It's stupid.
I've read on here about women getting completely blanked on access weekends years into a relationship - this one will be the same won't it?
