Hi, I just recently met and started dating a guy who was divorced 18 months ago, and last week he got his kids back from his ex-wife and now has sole custody of them (he's in the military and just returned from overseas). He gets along well with the ex, which is good. But she tells him constantly she wants him back, and he lets her cry on his shoulder, and if I were him I would put some distance between her and me if I'm trying to have a relationship with someone else. Anyways, my main issue is, we have only been dating a month and a half, and already he's questioning whether he can juggle his kids and a relationship with me. But I haven't even seen him since the kids have been back! I think I've been understanding and told him that I still want to be with him, even if that means I'm second to the kids. I knew that going into the relationship. But I do require some reassurance and love from someone I'm with, and he has barely found the time to text me back over the past three days.
I have a few friends who are in the same situation as me, but their men make an effort to incorporate them into their lives and make them feel wanted. Is there anything I can do about this, or should I just give up?
Please, any advice is appreciated.
