What does it mean when he does not mention you?

It has been three years we have been together (sharing space), I over heard a conversation (really over heard)....and it was about spring break with the kids. Now who he was talking to was ONE of his baby mommas....(i could hear her through the phone it was loud)......He says we are going to Florida for spring break so make sure you pack enough for a week. She says who is we? (WTH)....He says all the kids.....(WTF).................................................................... Now don't get me wrong I did think about this and nothing came to me why he would say all the kids. To me that can mean a ton of things b/c he does have four kids alone. Soooooo I would like to know someone else opinion about this. Yes she knows about me, we never had a problem with each other and she know we live together.........so it's beyond me why she would even ask who is we........and it's beyond me why he would just say all the kids............. My family would have been cool, me and my family, why you need to know who, something other than all the kids..............

Since there are more than one baby momma in this situation maybe this one's question was related to the kids only and that's why your bf responded like he did...because he knew that she wanted to know which kids were going. Since she knows about you I'm sure she's already assumed that you would be going along, too. If you and your guy are getting along okay then give him the benefit of the doubt and don't let your feelings be hurt over this. This is one of the problems with combined families...dealing with different exes and different kids who may or may not get along.

I am seeing the light in your post here. I guess you're right that he didn't really mean nothing about it and since they were talking about their child, then they were just focused with the children and not about relationships whatsoever. Perhaps I was just being such a girl with a lot of insecurities hahaha.. But you're right, that may be the point. It's really true that this mixed family thing isn't going to be an easy ride. I'm just wondering why we get into these stuff anyway.

Hmmm.. I don't mean to sound all so negative and all, but if I were in your shoes I would have felt a pang of hurt right-then-and-there. You sure about this baby momma?? It's seems to me they've been talking a lot and she's flirting. I mean, who else would she be thinking of and how could she ask such a question?? By the way, was it you he was referring to when he said 'we are going to Florida for spring break so make sure you pack enough for a week' because if it's so, it's absolutely understandable why she'd ask 'who's we' because she might be confused if he was telling her to pack or he was talking to someone else, right? But as for your partner. Oh my gosh. That's really hurtful, not including you on his list of the WE. On the other side of things, perhaps it's understandable that he doesn't mention anymore because it's considered 'understandable' that wherever he goes, you'd go too. But still, there's something to be pondering about. And worst of it all, is that if you start talking to the guy about it, you'd be scolded or he'd go angry as to why you were listening to their conversation in the first place. Anyway, if I were you, I'd slowly and lovingly ask him afterwards if he intended for me not to come along since he didn't mention my name! hehehehhe.. But I'm sure hoping it doesn't mean anything.

Whoah. There you have it. He's a slippery man, I see. Well, I would certainly be doubting something when it could be seen in his nature that he can't stick to one. But with all judgement aside, perhaps it's best to ask him straight what he meant by that.

Well, logically the way she asked who is we, would seem to be her way of asking if we included you and his saying all the kids would seem to be his way of saying it didn't include you. Perhaps I'm wrong but if that's what I'd heard that's what it would logically tell me. Like you said there were several other responses including you in it...even "Her and I are taking all the kids". Maybe it was the other woman's way of finding out if you were still in the picture. [b]~~AT PEACE WITHIN~~ **STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS**[/b]

I'm sorry about this Queenperk... I know it hurts when the person you love just won't mention you to the people he is with. I have had the same on my ex and my current bf. my bf of two years didn't even mention me to his family nor to his friends. I asked him if he is ashamed of having a gf online and not an american either. He said he isn't ashamed of me but I still wonder why he doesn't mention me or introduce me to his family when I know he's a single dad and I get to talk with his bro once on his profile and known he's not with another girl. I only know his brother and not his whole family. The only reason he said was that he has a lot on his plate right now and can't do anything else or even give me time or even introduce me to his family. When I had introduced him already to my own family... It's making me sad and hurt too much... But the only thing I can do is understand since I'm really far from him and no way to get to him. sigh... Maybe you could try asking him like I did though I didn't get any satisfactory answer... But you might get to have one though... Good luck... blowing a prayer to you ^_^

This is totally coming out of left field, but it might not be you. It might be him and his insecurities in regards to the relationship he still has with the other women. He's with you, so regardless what, he cares about you. If he didn't, he probably would've moved on. Given all his past relationships that seems to be how he rolls. Now, just because he's with you it doesn't mean he doesn't wants to cut off all his old relationships. And he never may. Like it or not, he has a bond with these women. So to that effect, he's familiar with them and vice versa. Subconsciously he may feel that if he mentions you, the other woman would lose interest in him and he'll lose whatever friendship is still between them, because she in turn would see how much more interested he is in you and stop caring as much about what's going on in his life. It's the type of change that most guys hate, and in my experience, don't know how to deal with.

Thanks but I really doubt that and the reason I say that is b/c this one was (past tense) his wife 9 years ago and he filed for divorce he says he don't back track..... besides there is a baby momma after her. They all know about me and she is 3 of 1 that does not have a problem with me at all only when she's upset with him....go figure. Plus she has been in a relationship since I have been in the picture with the same guy and the child calls him stepdad so it's not like that and that's why i'm confused about the entire thing........
