I have been seeing a man for just over a year now. Initially once a month and then around twice a month weekends away etc. He lives alone but has 2 adult sons 20 and 17 - the youngest stays over now and again. He has lived alone apart from his sons staying with him during the whole of his last relationship of around 9 years and she eventually ended it - it sounds like she wanted to live with him in a joint house and he didn't.
After a year I imagined that things would move forward but we still do the once a month - and it is great fun having weekends away etc but it doesn't feel like it will progress further than that.
Is he just the type of person who is happy with once a month and that's it then live alone and do his own thing the rest of the time? Has anyone else had this type of 'relationship'?
We used to text everyday and still do and probably speak on the phone once or twice a week - never face time. It feels like not enough for me but plenty enough for him and as if we are on different pages. I get really lonely and sad being home with my children alone most of the time.
I m financially independent and easily pay half of all going out/probably more and don't need money or a dad for my children but do need more 'love and care and companionship' - if doesn't seem to bother him at all. I guess he has lived like this for so long it suits him.
