For feeling like he’s not overly bothered?

I need to be told ‘give your head a wobble, it’s fine’ or ‘I’d not be too impressed with that either’. Hormones are making me a little sensitive at the minute I think!

I’ve been seeing someone for 5 months. He has an extremely busy job and a teenage son that lives with him (most of the time). I have a teenage daughter. This means we don’t get much time together but that’s not too much of an issue, we both have other things going on.

Haven’t seen him for a week. Text him last night and asked if he was busy tomorrow night (today now!) as I don’t have my daughter. He replied and said no he didn’t have plans but he should check with his son first in case he wanted to do something.

Now before I’m yelled at for saying his son comes first, I get that. My daughter comes first too! But…. If they have no specific plans, he’s had him every night this week and we’ve not seen each in a week, am I in the wrong for feeling a little put out? Opinions from strangers on the internet are always most welcome 😊

Yeah it shouldn't be like this so early on

I guess if the son has been at school then it wouldn’t necessarily have been quality time. I would however expect him to say ‘let me check and then what about Sunday or Monday if not?’. Even if you’re not free that shows the level of mutual interest I’d be expecting.

Sounds like he was almost making an excuse, I'd read it tye same way as you have, OP.

I'd say no worries, another time, and leave it with him and make other plans!

Ok, it’s good to know it’s not just my hormones!
