I've been seeing a guy I met online for about 6months now. We get on really well. Enjoy similar things, have lots of laughs - all seems good if you see us together.
However, he's never married and has no kids, so he is free to spend his time as he likes. And has, over time, filled it with friends and hobbies and work.
Initially we would go out at the weekend and if DC were at their dad's then we would spend most of the weekend together. He would also come to my house late in the evening for a cup of tea and sex, of course. This would generally be once a week.
But for the last month or so he's been cancelling the evening "tea" dates at the last minute for various reasons. And he's been messing me about on the weekends. Last Saturday we were supposed to have dinner then cinema. But he remembered he had to work and wouldn't be free until 8.30pm. So we just went to the cinema. He stayed at mine overnight but needed a lift home at 7am because he was working sunday as well - forgot to tell me this!
I messaged him Monday morning and he replied quickly. Then I heard nothing until this evening. But only because I sent an "are you still alive?" text.
And last weekend we were discussing "put upon husbands" and he said "well, at least I'll never be one of those". Which I took to mean he never wants to get married. Not that I'm keen to try that again but I wouldn't be so dismissive of the possibility.
I don't suspect cheating. I just think he's filled his time and doesn't have anything left for me.
We've had a chat about it and he says he wants to be with me. But, as much as I like him, I'm not sure if he's really right for me.
