writes: I am 38 and have been in a relationship with a man for eight months now. He spends time with me during the week and sleeps at my house but when it is Friday sometimes he goes drinking with his friends without telling me. Then he comes home later. His brother is visiting at the moment and hence he isn't spending the time with me nor is he telling me what he is up to. He is being very distant. Does this mean he is going to leave me? Am I over thinking all this when I say I dont like it if he doesn't tell me where he is. Should he not still tell me his plans or what he is doing on the weekend? Reply to this Question Share |

His (apparent) secrecy about what he does on the weekends SHOULD concern you. What are you? .... his "work-week" girl???? ... whilest he is free to go out whoring on the weekends??????
Remember,... if he's fooling around elsewhere... then YOU are "sleeping" with all those others with whom he exchanges body fluids....
I'd be cautious....
Good luck..

As for him not spending time with you because of his brother, you definitely need to confront him on that and possibly come up with a compromise, if he wants a relationship with you he really shouldn't be neglecting you just to spend time with his brother.I hope I've helped and that your problem gets resolved, take care and the best of luck to you :).

Well, he is a grown man and you aren't his mother, so to be perfectly honest he does not have to tell you his whereabouts 24/7. You really don't have the right to demand it, either. Many adults enjoy their freedom and don't want to answer to someone else all the time, relationship or no. Especially if you aren't even living together.
That said, is he lying to you? If he's lying to you then that isn't cool.
We are not going to be able to tell you whether he plans on leaving you. Only he knows that, and just spending time with his brother who is visiting doesn't sound to me like reason to worry, but I don't know him and don't know what's going through his head.
