Am I right to be mad?

Basically, I’m in a serious relationship with a man who has a child and he takes care of the child full time. At the moment he is in the hospital staying with the child (nothing serious thank god!) and I’ve been in to visit them every day. I’ve even offered to stay in there with them but he said he didn’t want me to miss work. Anyway, I’ve been calling him on the phone a good bit and he’s been more than happy to talk because he’s bored in the hospital (as you can well imagine!).

Today I called and got a rather abrupt “can I call you back”………..so he called me back and it turns out the childs mother was there when I called. Now, I may be just overreacting here but I thought it was pretty lousy how he wants me around all the time but the minute the x shows up I’m forgotten about! All he had to do was leave the room and talk to me? am I overreacting?

Maybe it’s just me being childish but I felt so stupid for actually rushing in everyday after work and staying all hours at the hospital. I’m starting to think he wouldn’t be doing the same for me!

    i completely understand why you feel like this, but i wouldnt be too upset or let it affect your relationship - probably he wanted to discuss the child's wellbeing, they share the child and are equally responcible. however if it was nothing too serious i can understand he shouldnt have just blown u off like that, especially when u are being so concerned! in fact i dont think a man deserves a woman willing to show so much care to his child (when it isnt hers) unless hes willing to return that care. but i wouldnt worry about it too much. maybe show less of an interest in the future, or tell him to call u back when youre busy. ive learnt some men just dont listen, so try talking to him, and if not, just do it back! when a man does something u dont like, i think half the time the best method is to do it back. good luck :)

    please answer mine??

    I think you overreacting a little bit. If he couldn't talk to you then maybe the doctor was in the room while he and his ex was in the room and they were talking about important information. Or he and his ex could be discussing important information about their child. If he cares about you like you think he does then you have nothing to worry about. He will probably always be in contact with his ex because of the fact that they have a child together.

    Look at it like this: Imagine having the father of your son taking to some girl you know nothing about while your child needed to be admitted to the hospital. Won't that tick you off? Even though hes passing time, even though hes not yours, don't tell me that you won't get mad at him for entertaining somebody other than your son?

    Dont be so sensitive, it was probably a little awkward for him to talk to you while his ex was there. Doesnt mean a thing.

    what if the parents were talking with a doctor? the child is hers too. don't jump to conclusions. if it bugs you, ask what happened.
