Hey y’all. I hope this isn’t too long for you to read. I have been with my man for about 5 months now and things are ok. I already know that relationships have their ups and downs. I have known this man for a few years before we made it official. Well not I’m just starting to feel so blah now. I feel that I do literally everything. He has been around my family and close loved ones. I’ve invited him to so many events my fam put together. My brothers likes him my moms likes him everyone he met likes him. For one I have yet to meet anyone in his world I don’t know a soul. I have him all around mine he knows my world. I make the plans for us and events to go to with my fam. I don’t even know how to freaking feel. Granted he called his mom while in the car with me and told her that he tries to introduce me but she never home and the mom laughed and agreed. But that was weeks ago. I rode with him to his sisters house and I wasn’t able to come in to meet her because she was on a conference call but she did see me in the car. I get all of those “situations” but now I can’t help but feel he is embarrassed of me or he doesn’t take this serious. My self esteem plummeted because I’m thinking why can I never be good enough to meet important people in your life. What’s wrong with me? Smh. As of now y’all I feel so much of the “I don’t care” attitude I don’t even ask him about meeting them anymore. I gave up.
As for the always planning things I’m giving up on that too. I plan things like doing competitive things, sporting events, cute date night, things like that. My brother even invited him to a game at the stadium. It’s like if I or my family didn’t say anything all we would do it sit at the house on the weekends I am able to see him (he is with his kid sometimes). It gets frustrating. Yes it took me to dinner but that was so long ago. I asked for a at home date night to cook together and watch movies and for him to plan it. But of course he is waiting for me to do it. There is no initiative. The crazy thing is when he talks to my best friend or my brother he speaks so so highly of me but yet treats me way different. He does one thing that’s attentive to me but I already know it won’t last but a day or two. Right now I’m just quiet I don’t say much “it is what it is” attitude now but it hurts at the same time. Im trying to give him a chance please help me in what to do. Sorry so long.RavenImagine this for the rest of your life… Is this what You want?
AndreaThis man has gotten everything from you without having to lift a finger, and you’ve allowed it. Why would he suddenly change the terms of that sweet deal?
Why didn’t you set your boundaries and expectations in the beginning of your relationship?
Ewait’s only been 5 months and he isn’t even trying , it is not going to change. There are some men that won’t initiate meetings, going outs etc, because either they are not too fussed or in the past their mother /gf was doing it for them , so they are used to other people making plans for them.
5 months is not a long time and he can’t even pretend, this won’t work.
Regarding meeting his family, don’t put a pressure on him, I understand it is not a nice feeling but I am in the similar situation , my bf met my family but I haven’t met his, because as he said last week , his family is awkward. I no longer ask about meeting his family and tbh I kind of decided that I no longer want to .
why is the reason you introduced him so early? -
