I have been dating a great guy for the past 4 months.I am divorced with a son, he has a 9 year old daughter with an ex-partner who lives with her.We get on so well physically,intellectually-we laugh...it's great.
I have met his best friend (after 3 weeks and at his request)and only yesterday met his daughter(he picked me uo from hospital and this was one of the days he has her).
He seems happy when I meet HIS friends etc but he absolutely recoils from any attempt by me to introduce him to my friends(he will meet my son when I feel it is'right').He says he hates'coupledom',and getting him to agree to a date a week in advance is a major military campaign.
I personally find it hurtful that I am being shut out in this way.
I know 4 months isn't a long time,but I feel he is taking strategic steps to ensure he doesn't get hurt!
I have confronted him on this but he laughs it off.
I want this relationship to work but am at a loss at how we can move forward .
