I'm frustrated with my boyfriend . Saw him on Monday . Going out together over a year this summer . This weekend fully planned ... but not with me . Football, party, rugby, friends . I would like to be with him. He didn't invite me to any. I am home on my own . I kept it free in case he would ask me over . Is this acceptable . He lives only in the next town . He might be free to see me Sunday after the rugby . Aibu

It really isn't about sex . It's about us as a couple

He's not a keeper OP. If he can't make time for you, he's not going to make time for you if you get married/have baby.

Yes but I really like him

He clearly doesn't prioritise his weekends around You though my lovely Flowers

Why do all .. the new posters type like this ... And post some utter vague drivel ? It's almost like .. it's all a load of ... bollocks.

Sorry but you sound like a pushover!! Why are you working around him? No wonder you don’t have much of a social life, sounds like you’re waiting around not organizing anything in case he asks you to do something!
If I were you I would cool things down with him, call up some friends I hadn’t seen for a while and ask them over or to do things with you. And even join in a few things, such as start a class/join a sports team or do a crafting course. Anything you fancy - you need your own life away from him. Don’t call him for a while and see what happens. Is he as committted to this relationship as you?

OP, this is ridiculous. You need to stop being such a wet blanket and actually have it out with him! Ask him where he seriously sees your relationship going and ask him why he never seems to prioritise you. He is making no effort whatsoever. Don't think you have to settle just because you're in your thirties.

Why r u begging for crumbs? Stop being so available

MiniCooperLover · 07/06/2019 21:55

Why have you never asked why you can't go with him? Does he never invite you?

I think you might need to be busier, look after yourself, get dates in with friends, join sports or activities clubs, and find a boyfriend who is actually interested in you. Sadly this one does not sound interested or all that interesting.

I was expecting early twenties, been together a few months.

What would you like from us here? To tell you it's normal as an expression of love and to put up with it? Because it's not.

You're being very passive. You're allowed to take charge of what goes on in your own life and ask for things, like spending time with him.

averylongtimeago · 07/06/2019 22:27

Being blunt, why are you putting up with this?
You can see what he's like. He won't change- is this all you want?

Get rid, move on. There are plenty of much nicer fish in the sea.
