Is this wrong?
So let me start by saying that I have a child and I’m dating a man that has a child as well. My daughter is six and his daughter is two.
I have my daughter six days a week and Every time my man and I want to do something, I get a sitter. One time I asked if he would be willing to get a sitter when he had his child on a day that I didn’t have mine. He said no. He wants to spend as much time as he can with his daughter. And I totally get that 100%.
We haven’t had any kid free time alone in over a month. This Friday we finally do. He asked if I would like to go to a very nice dinner. Of course I jumped at the opportunity! I was so excited about getting all dressed up and actually going to do something with him.
Well today he said that his ex-wife has to work late and that she asked him if he would want his daughter Friday night or if she should give his daughter to her parents for the night. He chose to take his daughter. I don’t know when our next kid free time will be...
I totally understand him wanting to be with his daughter. He has her 50-50 custody with his ex. Is it wrong of me to be just a little bitsy bit upset that I don’t get any time without kids with him this week?
I don’t plan on saying anything about it to him. It’s just something that I need to realize I have to be OK with. Our kids always come first.
