Hey everyone :) new here really so haven't got the lingo yet lol!
Anywho.. I met the love of my life almost 2yrs ago and lockdown happened so we've lived dateless almost our whole relationship but now places are open I want to do things with him like the cinema, maybe a meal or something (I'm still kinda nervous about crowded places but isolation is driving me mental) I have explained this to my other half and he said it's mostly the money as to why we haven't (I've been on a low income as I'm employed but I don't get paid unless I work shifts and childcare + employer isn't school hour friendly) he has been on a steady wage throughout, I have no right or say in what he does with his money until we're living together when we plan to get a joint account and that works both ways. I can afford the odd £20 on a date though which again I have explained, this evening he calls to say that he's going to the cinema with his dad, I think it's beautiful he spends time like that with his parents so I don't begrudge that but he's been out for meals and such too (we live an hour apart and I have a 8 year old son) not too often but I can't help but be frustrated about it. I've got really low self-esteem at the moment so trying not ride that wave.
Can I ask what you would do? Do you think I'm being over emotional or do I need to explain anything further?
Sorry for the waffle and thank you 🖤
