Hi MN
I don't have children myself and DP has a 2 year old. We have been together 4 months, things have got serious and we're moving in together. He's been amazing at making time for everyone but he keeps having moments where he gets upset. He left the family home when the child was 1 years old because the relationship broke down and they decided to go separate ways. They're doing a good job at co parenting but he's currently upset as it's the child's birthday soon and it's the first time not celebrating as a family. He said he would never get back to ex girlfriend as the relationship didn't work but sometimes misses the family unit. I do understand but it also throws me off a bit. He says in future he wants a family, hopefully with me and I do too, we have fallen in love and he's genuinely a good guy. He apologises for the moments he gets upset and says he doesn't blame me if I wanted to end it. His family have met me and told him I'm the best girl he'll ever meet and to not mess it up by over thinking. He says he just gets moments and then it passes, he'll be ok once the first birthday apart is over with. He keeps reassuring, keeps making time for me. This whole situation makes me feel a bit uncomfortable, am I over thinking? What should I do?
