Confused about new guy

[Doingitaloneandproud]

Happy Christmas everyone

I was hoping for some advice, or a good talking too.. please

I've been seeing a guy for 4 weeks now, he's been really lovely, the last date Saturday night into Sunday he was saying how much he likes me, it feels like it's been longer. He then told me on the way back his ex was coming over for Xmas with his kids to his families. All good, and nice for the kids. However today he's sent one text this morning cutting off any conversation and radio silence, I get he maybe busy or is busy but he's never like this, even when he has his kids he texts every few hours

I'm just feeling a bit strange I guess, I don't have that relationship with my ex where I drive him everywhere and spend family time so If anyone could give some advice that would be great please

He's paying attention to the kids and showing them that their mum and dad love them more than they dislike each other
My OH used to do something similar--we've been together 8 years now, I have a great relationship with the kids, our families have merged brilliantly and we all are happy and content with well adapted kids. If he binned the kids off to text you every 2 mins, I think that would be more of a worry

I’ve just had Xmas with my family and I didn’t use my phone hardly at all today. Wasn’t the day for it!

It’s Christmas Day. He’s enjoying time with family. He’s known you five minutes, he really shouldn’t be sidelining his DC to text some woman he’s been on a few dates with. Chill out. He might text you later. If he doesn’t, text him tomorrow asking how his Christmas was and saying a bit about yours.

Stay calm OP... he'll just be busy with having them over... doesn't mean he cares for you any less.. it's new for him too remember..

I'm going to give you a good talking to.
If he had binned off his kids to spend all day texting someone he has been dating for 4 weeks, we'd all be telling you to run for the hills.

Don't judge him on today..... See how he is for the rest of the week
Perhaps a quick chatty text tomorrow asking if he had a great day?

Don't worry. My BF of 7 months is with his ex and his kids. Heard a bit from him a but but he is with his kids.

If he wanted to be shagging his ex he would be.

Younger folk might find this hard to believe - but it wasn't so long ago that people could be involved in strong, loving relationships - without texting, skyping, facetiming, whatsapping every few minutes. "Radio silence" was the norm for most of the day, every day (not just Christmas Day).

These days more than an hour or two without electronic contact seems to make people very anxious.

OP not trying to be mean but it's been 4 weeks.

I'd been dating my dp for 6 weeks when the first xmas rolled around and I'm not even sure he got a text from me that day.

Oh Op. sympathy as Christmas can be stressful and it's making you over anxious and over think.

Wait until tomorrow and be light and breezy.
