I'm a single parent and have recently been dating a single dad. He made me feel wonderful - told me how serious he was about seeing me and he didn't want a fling, felt big connection, etc., etc. I even met his family.
To show how serious, he told his exDP about seeing me. She ended the relationship with him and walked out some 4 months ago. She'd told him their relationship was over some 18 months ago though! However, she has been wailing and crying and suddenly decided she wants him back! I was warned by people who know her to be cautious around her... rather an intense person apparently. Someone who went to school with her told me you went nowhere near whatever guy she was with because she was so jealous.
He and I had a date planned for earlier in the week and she sabotaged it, forcing him to cancel on me.
Now what? He said earlier in the week he wants to still see me but needs to get 'clearer waters' with her. Said he'd call but didn't, just texted. No call last night either. I sent him a light-hearted 'hey there' text this morning but no reply...
Have I been dumped? Shall I call him? I feel I deserve to know where I stand here. Have I been an absolute mug for believing his seemingly sincere affection for me?
My confidence is rock bottom. I hate being hurt like this particularly as it took some courage to build up the nerve to start seeing him in the first place. I feel like a fool...
