Me and ex dp were together almost 3 years, had been making long term plans (talking of getting married at the end of uni etc) and he practically lived with us. For that time he has treated ds as his own and ds has a very good relationship with him as a result. (he doesn't really see his bio dad)
Everything was all funky dory, we've never had any problems in the relationship, never fallen out etc, then one day he comes home and says he's not happy- and that was it really, he left.
He was really upset that he might hurt ds by leaving and promised to still see him regularly. He did to begin with, ds inevitably asks after him and to begin with I would text him to see if he was free to talk to him for 5. It quickly became apparent I was doing all the leg work, which I told ex dp wasn't on, he has to make an effort, he promised he would but now its been 2 weeks since ds has seen/heard from him. Ds keeps asking after him and 2 weeks is a long time to a 5 year old.
Aibu to be becoming annoyed with this- I'm angry that suddenly its like ex dp is a different person, the person I dated would have never behaved like this, I'm annoyed he made all these promises which he hasn't kept and I'm annoyed he's doing this to ds. But I do wonder if I am expecting to much as he isn't ds bio dad and maybe he's just finding the split difficult.
