So confused

I started seeing this guy about 3 weeks ago officially. Things have been going great and i really like him.
But he booked a holiday with his ex when they were still together for end of next month and they have been split for months and he told me he was deffinatly taking her to help with the kids. Now I know he doing it for the kids and I dont have a problem with that at all I just told him it made me feel uncomfortable him taking hee after he has had so long to find somone else to go hoping he would reassure me but instead he stormed off and didnt speke to me for 2 days then said he needed space and that now he dosnt want a relationship but he wants to date me and get to know me more which again is fine but its only since I mentioned about me feeling uncomfortable about him taking her away with him. 😕 am just confused and dont know what to do should I give him another chance or let him go ? I dont want to let him go as I do really like him I just dont wanna be taken for a mug as I have already bee through alot x

3 weeks????

TheBogWitchIsBack · 20/06/2019 19:59

At 3 weeks you are only dating and getting to know each other. I would tread carefully and avoid rushing headlong into relationship with a man who’s still entangled with his ex wife.
It’s throwing up some red flags to me that he stormed off the minute you voiced some legitimate concerns and asked for some reassurance.
Be careful here op.

Step right back.

You'll get hurt with this bloke.

Keaneno1fan · 20/06/2019 20:02

Its only been 3 weeks and he cant have been separated long if a holiday was in the offing with his ex? 3 weeks is too soon to voice opinion on what he is doing but despite this he shouldnt have gone off in a huff

It's too much stress

Find someone with at least their baggage sorted out

Vee19811 · 20/06/2019 20:14

I have to say are you absolutely sure they are separated? What days of the week do you spend time together? This will give it away

Honeyroar · 20/06/2019 20:18

It's already hit bumps in the road, it's not looking good for the long haul.

LIZS · 20/06/2019 20:24

Really? Why bother? He will mess with your head, do you want to be playing games so soon and wondering what is actually going on.

Piggle23 · 20/06/2019 20:55

Step away, too much going on. You'll get hurt op.

Otterhound · 20/06/2019 21:06

If some I had been seeing for 3 weeks thought they had enough Ownership over me to question a holiday with ex, where i got to see my own children I would end it as it would indicate a lack of ability to deal with ex’s and kids

C0untDucku1a · 20/06/2019 21:08

Dump and run

Otterhound · 20/06/2019 21:10

I guess rightly or wrongly he is seeing red flags and maybe wants to reasses

TeaForTheWin · 20/06/2019 21:15

He's gonna hurt you if you go back. Bigtime. Can smell it a mile off.

I know you like him op but he has way too much baggage and the even bigger issue is that he 'stormed off' and made you feel like the bad guy for calling him out on something that (rightly so) was making you insecure. Basically he is already starting to condition you into putting up with his shit. Too much nonsense for 3 weeks in. Imagine the drama a year from now. It wont get better or easier and he wont ever make you feel more secure. Dump and run.

RosieCockle · 20/06/2019 21:22

You've only been with him three weeks. It's a bit heavy going to start saying you're uncomfortable about a holiday he's presume had booked for months. That would annoy me.
