I've been in a relationship for 7 months, I have two children from a previous marriage. It's been going quite well, apart from the fact it's long distance. We see each other every weekend and talk every day. I'm getting to the point though where I'm asking myself if there is a future between us.
He's very reluctant to talk long term, his job means he has to stay close to his location. We have discussed him possibly having a change of direction in his career but it's not directly in context to us been closer together.
The other thing is he hasn't introduced me to any of his family yet, he is very close to his mum but she lived in a different country, he saw her about 7 weeks ago but didn't invite me. I let it go in that occasion as I didn't want to seem too pushy if he wasn't ready.
Just last week he was told he had a break in his contract this week, I was pleased as I thought he'd come down and spend some time with me. Instead he announced he was taking his mum to a very expensive hotel in a different country for a week. Again he hasn't asked me to join them, I was upset by this but didn't say anything as I didn't want to appear selfish if he just wanted to spend time with his mum.
He then rang me and said his mum had asked 'where is your girlfriend, isn't she upset you didn't bring her with you'! I don't know what he expected me to say to that, after the call I felt quite embarrassed as his mum now obviously thinks he doesn't want me to meet her.
I don't know whether I'm making too much of this as the time we spend together is lovely and he's very caring, I just feel like he's sending mixed messages to me.
