This is the first year I have had split custody of my kids, Christmas Day they went with their dad and he has them through new years. Well, I had gotten my hopes up with spending New Year’s with my boyfriend because that would mean that I wouldn’t be as lonely.

Well today he messaged me and states he picked up the days at work, which would leave me alone at home (because I requested these days off because we made plans.)

I hate to say it, but it hurt me, I know I shouldn’t be hurt like this because he is working but it feels like when he makes plans or says he wants to do something with me, it always changes leaving me alone and let down.

I am grateful to have a man that wants to ensure we are taken care of, I’m not mad at him, I’m more or less mad at myself for getting my hopes up.
