[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here- Just to clarify, I have a kid and I have dated people with kids before, so this is not new territory for me. I’ve had to cancel whole weekend plans because my ex bailed at the last minute on his weekend. The difference is, I never disappeared, I had a conversation like an adult and explained exactly what happened, was apologetic and offered something else. Re-reading the texts,  I did not see any empathy from this guy about my getting ready and waiting for him and getting the cancellation 10 minutes before he was supposed to get here! He treated it as a business transaction pretty much and cared more about the movie and refunding the tickets, nothing about my wellbeing, thats whats bothering me, not the kids[/quote]

And you aren't wrong for feeling that way. There's a way to treat people, and there's a way not to treat people.  I am a pp who married a guy with kids, and as you said there's a way you handle things when things with the kids come up that convey you care about the other person. I also dated other guys with kids who behaved more like this guy, who was frankly completely inconsiderate, and they were selfish in other ways too.  I don't want to be a jerk, but this guy is divorced for a reason, and that's probably because he's not great at treating his partner as he should.[/quote]

Op here- Thank you and I agree 100% [/quote]
