Am I being messed about, or is he lovely?

[beachwoodsmoon]

So I separated from my husband in Feb 2018, with him moving out May 2018. I started seeing someone and we kept everything very low key, I just saw him when I didn't have my child. I was happy with this, and we got to know each other slowly over time. We've had weekend breaks away, and it's generally been lovely. I guess my only catch is that, it's been ages and we're still low key. I've brought it up and he thinks it's still too soon post - split for my child. He doesn't have any kids, and my split has been pretty amicable so far with regard to my ex and the kids. Not quite sure what I'm asking here, but am I being unreasonable in thinking we should be at least talking about next steps?

Yep - time for the chat OP.
He either wants things to progress, as you do, or it's over and you can move on and find someone who wants the same things as you.
Do you ever go out and see other people together?
His friends?
I'd be very dubious about not meeting his family.
And the fact he doesn't want to meet your DC is another red flag.

I understand he may think it too soon for your DD but why should that affect you meeting his friends/family? Has he met any of your friends?
I'll be honest, it sounds to me like he either has someone else or he doesn't want things to get any more serious.
Have that chat now before you waste any more time on him.
