I've been seeing a guy for around 7 months now, we see each other once a week as we both have busy lives (well, he does). I'm a single mum to my DS.

I've recently been questioning the relationship (to myself) as he spends a lot of time socialising with work but when it comes to me it's starting to feel like he makes minimal effort (unless sex is involved). Anyway, cut a long story short.. a couple of days ago I lost a family member I was very close to, I tried to talk to him about it the day it happened and he cut me off by saying that he doesn't like talking about death and the conversation was a bit too deep.

We are supposed to be going away this weekend and I was already worried about leaving my ds for the first time. I am now thinking does this man even deserve my time. Am I being over the top?

No, I wouldn't bother. Six months in is a good time to assess how things are going and decide if the relationship has legs and it doesn't sound like it does really. I'd leave it.

Sorry for your loss 💐

I think I would want to end things, even without his total lack of compassion and understanding it sounds like the relationship wasn't giving you what you want, and his lack of support for you over the death would be the nail in the coffin for me. You deserve better than that.

^ what they said. I'd give a stranger more support than he's given his girlfriend of 7 months, any normal person would
