Quick facts - dp and I have been seeing each other for only 3 months. I'm late 40s, he's early 50s. A really lovely man, runs his own business. I have dcs, he has no kids.
A few red flags from the start - he has had only one serious relationship. He has never really been single. He has relationships with women and some are long term but he doesn't consider them serious. Would also say it's hard to define a type he goes for.
He told me he had an anxiety problem early on that impacted his sleep so he takes piriton every night. He also has short courses of sleeping tablets which he buys online.
But then last week he started getting very jumpy. My dcs were away with their dad for a week and then came back to me. That evening I didn't call him and he sent a message asking if I was calling. I said no because I'm spending this evening with the kids. I asked if everything was ok and he said no his anxiety is spiralling so could I call. I call and of course it all seems related to me not calling and he's wondering why
