I have been with my bf 10 months. We have been seeing each other normally every two weeks as i have my child with me every two weeks. Also, his work is unpredictable and has to work some weekends so have been occasions when we met just 4 weeks after. I have Tuesdays off too and since the beginning of the relationship i told him we can meet up on Tuesdays he has said Tuesday is a workday.
However they have been Tuesdays when he is free and we haven’t met. To summarise this weekend he was working on Saturday and needed to work from home on Sunday. I asked him by text on Friday if he wanted to talk on the phone on Friday, or Saturday or Sunday. He said we could try on Saturday. Since the beginning of the relationship he hasn’t been keen on taking on the phone. Saturday we texted during the day and in the night i texted him if he was calling me Saturday or Sunday. He called me around 10:30 pm. He was tired, he woke up that day at 5:30 am to go to work. We were talking about holidays. I am going on holiday with my child in July and he is going to see his family to his country. We are both foreigners. So i told him that if i didn’t see him in 2 weeks time we won’t see each other until September as by the time i come back from my holiday he would leave for his holiday. So he said he would be happy with that. You need a younger guy and I said you are young. Because my pronunciation sometimes is not very clear i repeated it again as i thought he took it in a different way. Any way conversation continued and i asked him if we can meet on sunday from 6 pm to 10 pm, and he said i would go back home too late and he would feel bad. So i said feel bad for not seeing me. Then at some point he said: “i am tired of dating, i need a break from dating. You asked me to meet everyday. I have been dating since i was 10 and it has been 41 years dating.” Indidn’t know what he mean with all this, it was late he was very tired and i just said when we met, you said you didn’t want to be alone and you said you were serious. Then, i think i asked him are you serious or not? He said i am serious. I didn’t realised what he said properly and i continue talking as nothing happened. He was very tired and we said bye as normal sending us kisses.
Yesterday, i just started to digest what he told me. Normally i am the one who initiates contact texting him which i haven’t done since the conversation. We normally send good night messages before going to bed buy neither of us did it.
I am sad and i was thinking if i should text him to clarify what he mean when he said he needed a break from dating to know the reason for it.
