Hi, I wanted to ask this on here because it's all a bit hard to make sense of when its yourself in the situation and friends and family are biased.
My (30F) "boyfriend" (40M) and I have been together for about a year and a half, a few months ago he broke up with me (not for the first time) then returned after 2 weeks saying the usual, that he was wrong, missed me, things would be different and that we needed eachother more than ever right now due to lockdown. He lives alone so is entitled to a support bubble, which we agreed would be me and he promised he wouldn't be doing anything else. I live with my parents. My mum has survived cancer and pneumonia in the last couple of years and now has a lung condition, so is high risk. My boyfriend has seen fit to not only see me but other family too, he has also agreed to do private little jobs on cars for money and he also arranges to have friends round to do non essential work on his flat. At the point he told me his mate was coming round to fit a carpet for him, I told him it was best if we take some time out if that's what he wants to do, for my mums sake. He said there is no way he is turning down having his carpet done as he has been waiting months. Now he's having his boiler (still working) replaced by another friend. By the time he has done these other things, we won't have seen eachother for a month. We only live a 15 minute drive away. I feel that he doesn't respect me or prioritise our relationship, am I overreacting? I feel very alone, as its lockdown and now I'm just stuck indoors not seeing anyone. When I tell him this he just gets annoyed with me and says it's a pandemic
