I feel I may be being needy, would love some takes.

DP has made it clear he wants marriage and children with me eventually.

We live a mile away from each other, his work place is a 3 minute drive away from my home. He work 10-7 Monday-Friday. Has no children, or other commitments. He often continues working once he gets home, but has done this from my home plenty of times.

He sees his friends Saturday evenings and Sunday day time/evenings. I have DS aged 5, who usually gets into my bed around 2am so DP doesn't stay over on the nights I have him which is 5/7.

At the moment, I am always home and available when he finishes work. DS has gone to stay with his dad for two weeks.

What do you feel would be a normal/expected amount of time to spend with one another?

It sounds like he wants a part time girlfriend to fit in when convenient but otherwise not be too invested in so he can break up at any point without trouble.

Cut him loose.

You'll find someone who actually wants to spend time with you and not in a way where they've got one foot out of the door already.

The son coming to sleep in your bed is irrelevant. If he was the one he'd be wanting to spend weekends with you.
