My (33F) partner (36M) have been together for about 7 months. We usually see each other 1-2 days a week and I stay overnight at his house. Neither of us are currently seeing anyone else.
We were scheduling our next time together (he’s also a divorced dad who has 50% custody) which will be next week. He invited me to come over Friday and spend the night and I would leave saturday afternoon. He was slightly speaking to himself that he wanted to keep Saturday night/Sunday open for himself.
I immediately felt really hurt by that, especially since just last week I spent 3 consecutive nights at his place (he has a whole house to himself, I live with my mother). My brain likes to jump to negative self talk, and told me it’s because he’s sick of me, doesn’t want me around, etc. This probably showed on my face for the next few hours, even though I tried to keep it in check. Logically I knew I was overreacting to this.
After a few hours I asked if I could spend Saturday night with him as well, considering the holidays are coming up and that we both have familial commitments and traveling, it would probably be the last time I see him for about 2-3 weeks. And he was 100% on board, said yes, and we updated our calendars.
I’m happy to be spending more time with him, but now that I’ve left this visit (back at home writing this), I feel like maybe I shouldn’t have said anything, and let him have his time to himself. Idk - this relationship is the healthiest one I’ve been in. Anytime I’m hit with uncomfortable feelings or situations where historically I’d shut down or avoid talking about them to not upset the other person, I’m trying to do the opposite with him. And he’s been very open and encouraging as well. But now I feel like this time I’ve overstepped, or should have respected the time together he originally offered.
It just felt like an off day. He was tired most of today, and I was definitely in my feels (thanks hormones), and then the scheduling time, and the fact that I had to leave a bit earlier than anticipated today because of a change of his evening plans. All of this has me feeling uneasy and off and worried.
Idk what I’m looking for posting this, maybe I just needed to write it out.
