Prepared to get flamed for it so I'm in for a reality check.
I'm with DP for almost 2 years now. All good, calm and happy relationship. He has DS form a previous relationship. His ex cheated on him twice, after the second time he left (DS was 6 at the time, not sure if this is relevant). It has been 3 years ago.
He has been mentioning the lifestyle they had, how he worked a lot to provide so she could be at home and didn't have to work, how they had top spec furniture, appliances, holidays and so on. And how he left it all to her when he left. That's also including his dog whom she wanted to keep to feel safer.
We don't have that. Even when he buys something now for his house, knowing we are going to be living together soon, it is not anywhere close to what he had in his previous life. He is adamant he loves me so much, that he has been looking for me all his life, is happiest he has ever been and that he sees our future together. But because I know that he put much more effort in the previous relationship, and wanted to have a nice lifestyle there, but isn't as bothered here I don't know how to feel. Do I not deserve at least the same effort if he is happier here? Am I looking at this from wrong place?
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts.
