I know I’m probably twisting myself in knots other nothing, but it’s a issue I really struggle with.
I was seeing bf around 6 months and just started planning small introductions to dd (not yet 2). We were thinking park meet ups that type of thing, he never actually met her. Then we split up, honestly because I got a bit freaked out about how I was feeling about him and I’d not expected to feel like that so soon after splitting up with DD’s dad. We stayed friends and ended up getting back together, it’s been a few months now.
I feel like without him meeting dd, he doesn’t really fully know me or have any idea of what a potential future together might be like. It feels like we’re in this bubble of only seeing each other when she’s with her dad and it’s not real. But I feel like I’d be a bad mother introducing her to a new bf, whom I’ve already spilt up with once. And I’m concerned about what people would think, even though I know it’s none of their business.
I’ve known him longer than we’ve been together a good few years and he’s happy to go at whatever pace I want.
I just don’t know! I really like him but still feel like we’re only dating but don’t see how that will change unless I let him into my life a little more. And he’s a teacher so he’s around a fair bit more at the moment and it seems a shame that we can’t see each other a little more often throughout the holidays.
