I started seeing someone quite soon after I split up with my ex (father of my 2 DC) we haven't slept together we have just been on dates/walks etc. He's treated me to a few bits (I didn't ask him to)
But the thing is my youngest is only a few months old and I think he's being a bit full on. He wants a serious relationship, and although I don't want "casual" or "just for fun" I'm not sure I'm ready to get serious either. I suppose a part of me still hopes there's hope for me and my ex too, and the majority of my belongings are still in the family home, my name currently still on the mortgage.
What can I say to him? He is such a lovely guy and has literally done nothing wrong other than being a bit full on and wanting more than I'm emotionally able to give.

You just tell him it's not working for you and it's over, you don't owe him a relationship OP Flowers

I think you just need to give it time. You should get over your ex first and then start moving forward. However, if you want your ex back, I think you should dump this guy.

Just tell him it's made you realise you're aren't ready for a relationship with anyone right now. Then delete his no so you aren't tempted when you're sad.

You need time to work on your relationship whether that's closure or recovery, you need to focus on your baby, you need to have time to grieve and heal.

You don't owe anyone a relationship with you.
