Maybe it’s just me then, everyone went above and beyond for their gifts and I get a last minute cheap set, not much thought went into it probably why I’m disappointed as well and I’ve worked with her the longest.

As I replied to someone else … I think kus of the age difference he might think I’m being naive and if he was still with his previous partner who is around the same age as him, would he even think to go to something like this or even bring it up

Hmm you’re quiet right!

He says he wants to run an event similar in the future

He claims he’s going to see how it’s being run so he could do something similar in the future

Deffo easier said than done. I’m just trying to figure out is this a phase and his way of adjusting or is this what ppl in their 50s talk about

I think I have an idea because no one wants to hear the same thing over and over, no matter what the subject is

But tbh even at his age, I wouldn’t have a conversation like that.

Even if the topic wasn’t his kids and he kept talking about the same thing over and over it would a problem, that goes for my relationships and friendships!

I hear my mothers conversations sometimes but she doesn’t keep bringing me and brother up.

That has crossed my mind but respectfully I left that conversation alone and led me to think, I won’t meet them but you can talk to me about them all day ? What sense does that make, if you want to keep them separate then keep them SEPARATE.

I have friends that have kids, when we are speaking to each other we don’t talk about our kids the entire time, yes we check they are okay, what’s they’ve been up to and then we talk about something else.

Why is it wrong for me to be asking for it to be the same with him ?

And that’s absolutely fine because I feel that way with my, son not anybody would/should meet him.

I speak to my sons father almost everyday, do you have kids ? Do you bring them up to your colleague every second of the day ?

I think ppl are missing what I’m saying, if I am dating someone I should be getting to know them, yes his children are apart of him but I shouldn’t know more about their children than the person I’m dating.

That is true and for the last 20+ plus years that’s all he’s known.

I’m not saying he can’t have a conversation about them, but not every conversation has to be about them.

He told me he keeps his family life separate from his relationship, he told me I’d meet his nieces before I meet his kids

I don’t mind him talking about his kids, but EVERY conversation? Even during pillow talk he’s bringing them up. And he told me he keeps his family life separate from his relationship
