Met a man online 7 months ago. Attracted to each other straight away and lived in next town. I went there and he came here, out in public etc. He was just waiting for decree absolute after ex left him for someone else. But he's still waiting for it.... He has children and I am glad he sees them as much as he can (every weekend) but he often lets his ex change contact plans to suit her but not him. So, he has met my parents (once) and my sons a few times and a couple of my friends. I haven't met any of his side, and when I mention it it is quiet and the most he says is 'it will happen'.
When we first met he was (a little too) keen and lots of hopes for the future, but he seems to have settled into this now... Says less (though has a new job and is working very hard). I feel a little like I have become a seperate entity in his life, that he comes to see once or at most twice a week. He does call a few nights a week travelling home from work, then generally pops to his parents to eat and then goes home to his shared house (renting a room). He is genuine, but I feel like I give a bit more than he does... I cook each week and was enjoying it but the spoilt brat in me would like him to just say 'hey I'll take you out tonight!'. I took him out for his birthday, but rest of time when we did go out we went halves. I think I just want to feel a bit cherished. Was in very EA marriage before. I think I want a partner... We are both 40. Does this sound crap or am I being too critical?
