I feel like he likes you. I’d try to find a way for you two to be alone, like inviting him over for a movie you both like. Without being overly aggressive, touch his arm or leg, put your head on his shoulder or hug him with your arms around his neck. See how he reacts to these seemingly innocent touches and play it by ear!

I feel like if you aren’t truly happy with him, and if you feel like you can’t forgive him for what he did (I assume it’s infidelity), then you should end it. Your son complicates things, but unless he is willing to do a complete 180 and bring back the magic of the first 7 months, then it’s probably best to stay separated. A new relationship will come along soon enough and you’ll find new love when you least expect it, and it sounds like you’re ready for that new special someone to come along.

Oh, I almost forgot…

In the best case scenario, I would not want or expect for us to stop seeing other people. I think it is unrealistic to expect that level of commitment when we know we won’t be living in the same city for the next nine months. But, in the meantime I’d like to keep getting to know one another.

I feel like a real idiot. Him bringing up this other person seems like the perfect way to burst my “romance” bubble, but the level of effort he’s put in to talking with me despite the time difference/distance makes me really confused.
