I’ve been in a relationship for a year now. I have 3 children my partner has one child. In the beginning we would meet on a Saturday night and after a while a few hours one afternoon.
He now spends a night at mine when my children come to stay we discussed it beforehand and I told him that for me it was important we spend time together as we want to eventually move in together.
My issue is that we never spend time with his 13 year old child and I’ve only met him once.
it’s very bizarre but when he has his son over on holiday my partner goes a bit quiet and we never meet up. It’s starting to feel a bit odd to me and I’m not sure I’m overthinking it all ?

When you discussed moving in together, was he keen to do that fairly soon or does he want to wait till the kids are a bit older? It doesn't sound as if he's ready to blend families or anything, which is his call.

But if he's saying things like wanting to move in soon and then not doing enough to get to know each other's kids, that's a bit disingenuous of him.

He says he wants to within a year. He has met all my family who live in another country and yet I’ve never met his who live 2 hours away.
