Some opinions needed please.
Got back with my partner been on an off for a few years we are long distance, next weekend would be our child free weekend we would usually spend together he's said he's going away for the weeekend with some friends he's known since end of Jan. I mentioned that we won't have a night together till mid may. I feel like this isn't a great start to being back together and giving this another go one of his new friends is just doing 1 night away for this reason but he's told me he's going both nights so I can like or lump it. Feel abit unimportant in honesty he's went on how much he's wanted me back I get we are allowed lives aswell but how is this showing me he's serious about us when we now won't see each other for weeks when we had the opportunity feeling confused xx

You’re not a priority.

neilyoungismyhero · 20/04/2025 00:46

I think you should get rid of him. You can do better, cheeky fucker - like it or lump it indeed.

RidingAgain · 20/04/2025 00:48

He’s just not that into you.

Bestwishes23 · 20/04/2025 00:52

It's the level of commitment you'd expect from an on/off situation.

Dogaredabomb · 20/04/2025 00:57

Get rid of him

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/04/2025 01:05

When did he announce that he was going away with these friends?
If it was only a few days ago then he's not being fair on you.

If he told you a while ago then that's different & the middle of May isn't that long to wait until you see each other again.

I suppose it really hinges on when you got back together & have you two actually spent some time together in person since you got back together?

ItGhoul · 20/04/2025 01:05

You’ve been ‘on and off’ for years. Why would you suddenly expect things to be good when you’ve repeatedly split up before?

HumphreyCushionintheHouse · 20/04/2025 01:07

Don’t feel confused. He’s actually being very clear that you’re not a priority to him. Do with that what you will.

Pandimoanymum · 20/04/2025 01:09

So he's putting some people he's known for a couple of months before you, his partner of several years?.
He didn't discuss this with you before agreeing to go away with them, even though this is your regular child free weekend together?
Then he tells you to "like it or lump it"?
This is not how a partner who loves and respects you acts. You need to let him go permanently. You deserve better.

Vaxtable · 20/04/2025 01:09

Hes not interested just tell him you are not going to restart the ‘relationship’

If its been on and off for years its not going to work long term anyway

Fourfurrymonsters · 20/04/2025 01:11

If you’ve been “on and off for several
years” he’s not your partner and he clearly doesn’t you as his. Cut your losses here. He’s not into you.

bridgetreilly · 20/04/2025 01:13

If you want an actual life partner, look elsewhere.

MarkingBad · 20/04/2025 01:34

Why weren't you invited?

Sounds like the same shit different day senario. On/off LDRs are often this crap ime.

TheSlantedOwl · 20/04/2025 01:36

He’s not bothered. Dump him properly this time, you deserve better.

SingleAHF · 20/04/2025 01:49

He's just using you to be there when it's convenient to him and then dropping you without a moment's thought when it isn't. I suggest that you dump him. You don't have to put up with being treated like this, there are plenty of men who would treat you a lot better.

MayaPinion · 20/04/2025 01:51

You’re handy, and he can’t be botheeed looking for sex from anyone else. You’ll complain but you’ll give in.

Couldn’t have said it better!!!!

RickiRaccoon · 20/04/2025 04:22

I wouldn't bother with an on/ off, long distance relationship where he can't be bothered to see you after you've just gotten back together.

AgentJohnson · 20/04/2025 06:08

You are a priority in the chase, once the chase is over, you’re not.

Get the message already!

GildedRage · 20/04/2025 06:23

His actions speak loud and clear, nothing confusing. You’re not a priority.

WhatMe123 · 20/04/2025 06:41

Op I think you know the answer....your not his priority if throw this one back

Jennalong · 20/04/2025 06:46

He's got back with you , but has not invested in you .

Don't understand this ⬆️ ???

Mummyoflittledragon · 20/04/2025 06:51

Is the frequency that you see this man always the same? That’s max 12 times a year if so. I’m presuming he made plans when you were on a break. If he really wanted to both go on the weekend and see you, he would be making plans to see you at a different times to make up for not being free this weekend. It sounds as if he enjoys having you in the background for sex.

GabriellaMontez · 20/04/2025 06:52

Why don't you draw a line once and for all?

He sounds shit.
