He won't stay over....

So me and my partner have been together for almost 9 months, our living arrangements are i have a house of my own and he still lives with his parents, at the start he would come round and we would a food few hours enjoying each other company, as time went on he would leave with the intention of staying at home but would then come back and stay over as he couldn't bare to be away from me, it progressed that he had basically moved in and was here every single night for almost 6 months, during this time his parents were renovating and decorating. Anyways we hit a rocky patch, and he ended up going back home, this was 2 and a half months ago and he hasn't slept over once since. I have asked him multiple times to stay and he responds with "ill see" or "I like my own bed" or "why do you need me to stay over" or "you don't need me to stay over"

I'm not expecting him to stay over every single night, but a couple of nights a week would be nice.

He works til late at night, 10:30/11pm whereas I'm 9 til 5 so our time together is limited as it is anyway.

Am I being unreasonable to expect him to stay at least a couple of nights a week?

The current situation is, he comes in at night, every night, stays sometimes til 2:30am and goes home, baring in mind, im up for a 9am start....

Definitely red flags. You are a bit on the side to him, not a series relationship.

I actually think the untagging himself in social media would worry me more than the not staying over as it shows he doesn’t want to be associated with you. Why? That’s very odd. Does he want to get back with an ex? Very strange behaviour all round really.

Sorry OP but you’re not the main woman in his life. He’s removed the tag so no one can associate you two together. Leave now before he hurts you anymore.

Can you examine your borders OP? A man you met 8 months ago who pops around for free and a no-strings shag is not a "partner". It's not even a boyfriend. You let a man you had known 6 weeks move in with you and your son. Why did you need that? Why did it seem alright to you? Did he pay towards food, bills, council tax? If he didn't, why did you think you should support him with free lodgings?
I don't know if the Freedom Programme is good for women who have weak boundaries. Perhaps others who have done it could recommend it or not. Your answers on here suggest you are so far from understanding what's been going on, that you'll sleepwalk into another "relationship" with a user. Honestly OP, sex workers must be shaking their heads at these threads.
I suspected this wasn't real, because what mother with a 6 year old and a full-time job, stays awake until 2.30am for their late caller gentleman every night?
