I'm 39 single 6 years. Awful dating experience. I met a guy a year ago he has 3 children and lives at home. Has his children every weekend. (Wrote a post last week about that little dilemma ) I am a nursing student and life is quite full on (wrote a post about that too 🙈) mumsnet has been like my best friend lately
I have absolutely no time to shave my legs let alone anything exciting.
My question is should I miss this guy? Should I want to make time to see him? My life is so busy. I have uni deadlines so have told him I need to stop weekends as it's always at mine 6 kids (his 3 and my 3) and a mountain of housework.
I can't see him every night anymore (he would come her before a night shift and have teams nights) so yes he probably is feeling a little insecure with all these changes but I have too much else to think about with my daughter find ding it difficult to settle into comprehensive school and uni/work myself. I have tried to explain how busy I am. He popped in for a coffee the other morning and asked if he was going to get rewarded for being understanding and did I want to pop upstairs for a shag! (Sorry his words) Nice! He knew I was stressed. He knew I couldn't do homework over the summer with kids home. He knew I was upset over my daughter. Anyway no more coffees either now! So now I feel guilty as he keeps asking to pop in. Then I'm thinking shouldn't I want him to? I said we will have a date night but he has his kids every weekend so he asked if I wanted free fish and chips for tea.
I'm sorry it's long.....The only question I wanted to ask was shouldn't I feel excited about him calling? Texting? Wanting to go out with him? Miss him? Feel like as a partner he makes my life easier? Less pressure?
I want to feel excited....my mum says at this age apparently not!
