Woman Says She Worries She's 'Needy' for Wanting to See Her Boyfriend More than 2 Nights a Week: 'Am I Expecting Too Much?'

A woman who recently reunited with her ex says she only sees him two nights a week — and she’s wondering if she’s “being needy” for wanting more.

She detailed her experience in the “Am I Being Unreasonable?” forum on the U.K.-based community site Mumsnet.com, explaining that she and her ex recently “agreed to a fresh start” and “things have been going well so far.”

The problem, the woman said, however, is that she typically only sees her boyfriend — who she said often works until 10 p.m. — on Thursday and Friday evenings.

“He will often spend some of the day on Saturday here, but not always,” she continued, adding, “He then spends Saturday and Sunday with his friends. Some Sundays he will spend the earlier part of the day with family and then see his friends later on.”

The woman admitted that she is “struggling with only two evenings a week and some of Saturday” — but she said she also knows that “seeing his friends is important to him.” She added that she now worries she’s “being needy” — especially because her partner is "talking about marriage and moving in together, etc.”

In the comments section of the post, many other users advised the woman to listen to her wants and needs and then honestly evaluate if her current boyfriend is able to meet them — and to not feel like she wants “too much” if the answer is no.

“I like my own space and can't stand being totally wrapped up with anyone. But if it doesn't suit you, and you want more, [then] you need to decide if he's worth it,” one person said.

“He was an ex for a reason… Neither of you is wrong, you just aren't very compatible,” added another.

Someone else said: “This isn't a relationship. I would not move in with him or marry him. If this is him trying to make it work after a fresh start I'd hate to see how things are when he's comfortable and a bit complacent.”

“Have you told him how you feel? If you can’t have an open and honest conversation about this then I don’t think you should be considering marriage and kids just yet,” another commenter questioned.
