I’ve been seeing a man since February but I have known him for a few years. We both split from our ex partners around the same time (by genuine coincidence) over Christmas.
Everything has been going well, we’ve had lots of lovely dates together, spend what time we can together. He’s said he thinks I’m his “soulmate” which I thought was a bit forward but other than that he’s funny, caring and I thought we were happy.
We’d had a few drinks in a bar the other night and I posted a photo of us to social media . I don’t really post on mine that much or care about likes but for context it got around 70 likes and lots of “I hope this is what I think it is” “happy for you” type comments.
as soon as I posted it, he went very quiet and the atmosphere changed. He said he was worried it would upset his ex with it being so soon? (What about my ex, we have a DC together!) and he hates SM. He took me home in more or less silence and that was the end of what had been a good night. I don’t think he’s seeing the ex as I know his mum and I’ve seen she’s gone back to London where she was from.
what do you think?
