Seeing one another for the past two and half months.
Hes eager, consistent, reliable, plans great dates, actions match words and just absolutely lovely to be in his company.
we are exclusive but never had the ‘what are we’ character both mid fifties, divorced etc.
We bumped into his cousin and he introduced me as his friend. I wa snot impressed and said to him later on. He agreed and said he panicked in the heat of the moment and didn’t know he onto introduce me. This man is Mr Sociable and outgoing so I was a bit 🥴. I tend to suggested he just introduce me as ‘anotherpunprick’ ie my name to which he agreed and apologised profusely .
Is it not time to perhaps label what we are andnhowndontoubpavepmamcouple in their duties who are only seeing each other over two months?
Was this awful to you / a dealbreaker?
His actions scream interest and investment in us for now and at least in the near future .
thanks

Yes, that’s exactly what I meant.

I read it that she was married for decades then he left, and her children were destroyed by that (him cheating and leaving) and took years to get over it? Maybe?
