Reply To: “He Uses His Teenager as an Excuse Not To See Me. Should I Move On?”

You are absolutely correct in recognizing that he is not your bf. The explanation that you give for his inability to go out to dinner with you makes no sense. A sixteen-year-old can be alone for an evening, let alone for only two hours. That’s old enough to babysit for other peoples’ kids for a whole evening. It really does sound like he’s married or has another gf he spends more time with, but if married it is strange that you’ve met his son. You say that he calls you his gf — did he label you as gf in front of his son? I’d expect the son to mention you to his mother. Perhaps the other woman is a serious gf, rather than a wife, and the son is accustomed to his father having multiple gfs. The odds of this guy being exclusive with you seem to be nil.
