My (F) partner (M) and I are open for FWB type connections. I've been quite a bit more successful (duh)...since we've started I've gone on max 1 date/week on all but one occasion, when I had 2 (he was working and it didn't cut into "us" time).

My partner had a pretty long dry spell (8 weeks?) despite being a very attractive man...we're in a conservative area and most women are either married or trying to be. During that time he began to get frustrated/resentful of my success. It resulted in a couple fights and some hurt feelings.

While he never asked me to, I decided to push the pause button until he'd made some connections and had a few good dates. I now haven't been on a date since before Thanksgiving. He's had a couple good dates in that time, one of which ended in sex and is someone who's interested in a casual ongoing thing, and he's got two more potential candidates for the same arrangement.

We've got a lot going on this week, but yesterday morning I suggested that he make a date for today or tomorrow and I'd try to set something up for the same day. He said great, he would that morning. Then he didn't. I got told late this afternoon that he was picking tomorrow. No apology that he waited a day, or that it might impact my ability to see someone. At this point my options are limited because I've been in this holding pattern, while his are now abundant.

And now I'm feeling...frustrated. Angry. Like he's being inconsiderate despite me making an extra effort to consider him over the past few weeks.

I realize this is pretty inconsequential (and maybe just resentment of my own, for limiting myself this way because I was sick of feeling guilty and fighting?) but it's caused a decent sized fight between us (when I tried to express my feelings I was told I'd "had so many more dates" that this shouldn't be a big deal). I just wanted him to acknowledge that waiting a day affects more than just himself. And maybe express a little gratitude that I took myself off the market to give him a boost.

Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill? AITA?
