Hey everyone!

So just a quick thread to get some insight into whether I am being unreasonable and what you all would do in this situation..

So I have been in a relationship for 1 year 3 months.
He lives with his parents and i live with my daughter. Since lockdiwn began in February I havent been able to see him as his father has underlying health issues.
I have accepted that and although Boris' new rule allows 6 people to meet up, he still says he can't.
My AIBU moment is for his mums birthday last week they had his grandparents over, auntie and uncle and a few other family members.. i just want to see him but he has basically said he can't..
How am I any different to having a house full of relatives. Im working from home and take all necessary precautions and i just dont see how we are going to work if it is a case of "we can't see each other until it goes away" because how is that going to work?

If you haven't already, just send him a text saying 'I have more self respect than to continue waiting on what crumbs of attention you can be bothered to give me, don't expect to hear from me again. Goodbye!' Then just block him, after all, you could have a more fun text relationship with someone from a dating site than you're having with him, and the chances are someone else will actually WANT to spend time with you! You deserve much better than he's prepared to give you.

Just to let you all know I'm doing well, had no contact and feel more alive and optimistic about the future than I have in so so long! Thank you to all you incredible people for helping me see I wasnt being unreasonable!

This is how you felt in June when you had split up.

How on earth have you gone back to pining after him and him ignoring you?!

You have to adhere to the 20 minutes a day he's available?

Your ex was awful to you and the power balance was really off and that's happened again.

I had relationships like that for a decade at least. Please get some counselling.

Google "shark cage analogy" and see if it rings any bells.

This isn't a relationship. Honestly, it isn't. Please send him a final message, block and focus on yourself and your daughter.

Wouldn't you hate for her to be in a 'relationship' like this? If so, model healthy behaviour and get out of it.

Being single is so much less lonely than being 'with' an arsehole, I promise.
