Been together about 7/8 months. He's met my kids, they get on great and we go on lots of "family" days out. He is however, reluctant to let me meet HIS kids (15 and 17 years old).
I don't understand and I take it as an insult that he feels it's fine to share my whole life yet he's only willing to share half of his.
The subject of Christmas came up, he said he will give my children money for christmas - I asked what he wanted me to do about HIS children since, although they're aware of my existence, they have never met me. He said to just leave it.
Why the reluctance???
We're going on holiday soon (me, him and my kids) and he said he felt guilty that his own kids were missing out. I said "well, later on, maybe we could take your kids on a holiday?" and he replied "yeah - or .... maybe ... if you didn't mind .... I could take them on holiday by myself?" - this suggests he doesn't see me meeting them years down the line!!!
Am I being pushy or what? My mate thinks he's being weird and disrespectful expecting to be a part of my kids lives whilst denying me the chance to be a part of his kids lives.
