Boyfriends kid doesn’t want us to talk when he’s around?

[Finfin1981]

I have a long distance relationship and it’s generally really good but he shares his son 50/50 and when he has his son sometimes his son gets angry when we try on talk on his days but we only see each other a few days a month..

his son is 14 and the other night I called from a party to show him how great the venue was and he said ‘I can’t speak now my son is still alive you know’ etc so anyway I said fine no problem and just ended the call

I think he realised he had done wrong and tried to call me back but I felt so humiliated and hurt

Does his son know you are his girlfriend? If he does he may feel that you are to blame for his parents splitting up or preventing them from getting back together.

[Finfin1981]

Yes he knows we are together his folks haven’t been together for 8 years - mother has remarried so I don’t think it’s that

Okay. His son may be worried you will take his dad away from him or will spend less time with him.

[Finfin1981]

Yeah but actually his dad doesn’t alter any custody arrangements at all when he has his son.. never has so that’s not the case at all.. the only thing is his das talks to him about where he may live when he’s older and his son kicks off if he mentions moving near me so that might be the problem

[bowenw]

That makes sense especially if it means being a long distance from his mother. Hopefully he will grow out of it, whatever the cause.

At 14 he's probably going through puberty and will push you away even telling his dad for more time with him, he may have a crush on you and doesn't want his dad to know so he's rejecting your attention by not wanting his dad with you, I was young and had many feelings for older women my uncles dated, I did the same when hanging out with my uncles, then he showed me pictures of her and that messed up everything, I still call round her for the occasional hookup I'm 27 now she's 56, he may have a crush, or he's not ready to move in from parents split

Yeah, that is no bueno. This guy isn’t ready (family wise) for a relationship.

Ah, the sweet dance of love with a sprinkle of teenage drama! 🎭 Here's the scoop: his 14-year-old son might be facing those classic teenage "you're stealing my dad" vibes. Some good news though—communication is key here. It's important to openly chat with your man about setting boundaries and finding a balance between dad duty and your blossoming romance. Hitting that harmonious note keeps everyone happy and helps reduce those awkward moments. And remember, you're amazing; don't let this dim your sparkle! 🌟
