Been with boyfriend a year and a half.
Both have dc and live separately which I think suits us both. I can't Imagine blending families.
I feel we have a nice balance seeing each other once or twice a week.

The issue is I've felt for a long time as though he's happy enough with me but he's not with me because it's me if that makes any sense. Like I'm an easy option.

We've been on a night out tonight and I've seen his lads WhatsApp group (fyi they're all on their mid 40s) and someone has said on there 'ffs how is she with you -' and he'd replied 'chat shit, get Pussy' , I mean is that not horrible, be bad enough from a 25 year old but a 45 year old after 18 months of being together. (I'm about 6 years younger if that makes any difference to the scenario).

I've felt a lot that there's not enough affection, love etc but he's made me feel clingy:needy for ever referencing that. And I've only brought that up 3 times in a year and a half including tonight and nothings changed.

Aibu to end things over that message? I mean it's just grim but also I'm really really sad.

Dating advice please.. widowed 3 years ago after 30 year marriage, married v young. Started going on dating apps last month. Have met up 3 guys so far, coffee/ drink. All v keen. Two were no goers. 3rd ok, good chat, but not feeling a spark. 3 dates so far with him, also widower, bit needy..Is it acceptable to date a few at once? Should I keep searching for the elusive spark? Not kissed another man since teens😳 in a quandary, don’t want to lead the guy on . Don’t know if I’m looking for a big passionate romance or a steady companion! Help!

@Malala21, if you will start a new thread, you’ll get advice.

Oops sorry!

Honestly @DoYouAgree I can’t believe the arrogance of him. You’re immature?? That is rich coming from him.

He sounds utterly repellent. When he realised he was in danger of losing you he should have been willing to crawl home on his stomach in order to put things right. Instead he tried to put the blame on (gaslight) you.

As someone said above, it sounds like his friends know him well and do not particularly like what they see. Nothing to do with his outward appearance.

Just keep on re-reading this thread. Be resolved. Be good to yourself enjoy being able to please yourself and do what you want, when you want, it will come.
Hope you sleep well.

The OP read the response he typed, which basically said he can chat shit to get pussy... Not that hard to understand if you take the time to read it properly! 🙄

He's in his 40s? He's not grown up, him and his friends all sound juvenile.

Between his general attitude towards you and that he sounds like a bit of a prick tbh.
