Am I a total idiot for sticking around?

Question - (21 June 2009) 3 Answers - (Newest, 21 June 2009)
A female United States age 41-50, *ulie_lamb writes:

I've been dating this guy for 3 months and everything was great! He kept making references to being together long term and I was right there with him. Then, his pre-teen daughter was coming from overseas to see him for a month. Considering we hadn't been dating long, he said I wouldn't see him much over the next month and not to take it the wrong way.

I understand not wanting to introduce me to his daughter since he only sees her once a year and we'd only been seeing each other for 3 months, but there's been no email, phone calls or texts at all. I'll send him a text every couple days just to say hi, but no response. Its been 3 weeks since I've even gotten a 'hello' txt.

Am I a total idiot for sticking around or should I assume I need to move on? I really like him but does the heart grow fonder or out of site out of mind?

What should I do?

k_c100 agony auntThis does sound very odd, he should at least be responding to your texts! If I were you I would send one last message to him saying that you are not happy with the complete lack of contact and that if he were serious about you he would of at least replied to your messages. Tell him you wont put up with being ignored and that you wont be waiting around for him.

If he doesnt respond to that then you know he doesnt care about what happens between you therefore you can move on. If he does reply then at least it shows he doesnt want to lose you and you can both work on the relationship.

I hope this helps and good luck!

Starlights agony auntIts a bit odd to hear NOTHING for 3 weeks, suspicious almost! listen to your women instincts they are normally right! maybe somethings happened, or maybe he genuinely is busy.

I suggest you try and concentrate on other things in your life instead of concentrating too much on him! for the time being anyway.

Send him one more message, tell him you miss him and cant wait to see him and then just leave it, he knows you like him, if he wants you he will come to you. She goes in a weeks time anyway and then he can focus on you. And then once back in contact you can tell him how hurt you were that he contact find time for one text? You sure his ex didnt come to stay with his daughter?
