To be worried this may be a bad sign?

[Mellodrama]

DP of 8 months is going on a little European holiday for a week with his parents and his kids, they generally always go away together (his kids live with him).

I'm worried that the fact he hasn't invited me and my DC (I'd be paying for mine obvs) is a bad sign he's not really as 'into' me as he says?

I have been saying of late how skint I am etc., but the holiday is in June, would he not consider to invite us?

My anxiety has shot up again now, worrying about this

I'm kinda hoping you lovely MNetters will come to tell me I'm just being pathetic!

It’s too soon. You are worrying too much.

I can understand the worry but I think 8m is too soon to plan a summer hol for blended family. What about suggesting a weekend break in uk?

Way, way too soon. And if his parents are going too I'm guessing they probably just want to have a family holiday. And you are not (yet) family.

You've not been together that long. Have you holidayed at all together yet? It's a big jump from a couples break to a family holiday to an extended family holiday.

Imagine if you don't get on with his parents and are stuck in a foreign country in close quarters.

You may also have put him off with your talk of being skint.

See how he reacts to you suggesting a mini break and go from there? (Cost it first so you know if actually you'd be able to afford it)

I did wonder whether it was too soon We have days out with our kids quite a bit and I've spent quite a bit of time with his parents too, we all get on.

I do get that he may just want a family holiday, he works so hard after all, but I was just worrying a bit after my mum said she was surprised he hadn't asked us!

Could this be important a chance to reflect? Also something spevial for them, a traditiom?
I took a "last" break without my partner before making the decision to move us in with me and DC etc. A shift in my thinking if you like an awareness it wouldn't be just us girls ever again.

Abra Ahh I see what you're saying, possibly?

He does talk about our future together, like yesterday, as a recent example, I've been stressing over my current uni assignment and had to tell him not to come round last night as I really need to work on it and hope he understood - he then said yeah of course, it's for your future, our future... which I thought was quite nice

Stop worrying. This holiday isn't a new thing. 8 months is nothing at all.

You're over thinking it way too much. 8 months in the grander scheme of a blended family is really no time at all.
Good luck with your uni course and don't sweat the small stuff - bigger hurdles are ahead.
