Relationships

Very recently ex and close mutual friend 'seeing' each other

I kind of expected it.

But the thing is - we split up after 4 years together, amicably, just a few weeks ago (my decision ultimately after a couple of years of him being grumpy/unaffectionate etc) and he is still living here. He is due to move out at the end of the month. In to a shared house - with her!

It's almost funny.

He's just got back from a weekend away and told me their happy news.

Am I being unreasonable by being very angry? In a day or so I'll be fine. But right now, he can't understand why I've asked him to sleep downstairs (we've just been 'existing' next to each other in our bed) and why I am so angry.

I feel like it's just SO soon. Too soon. It hurts. Just because I decided I'd had enough doesn't mean I'm not grieving for our failed relationship too.

ARGH!

I would be gutted. Would feel like I had lost a partner and a friend. Poor you.

Ouch.

He's seeing a close friend while still sleeping in the same bed as you? He's not even on the sofa?

Fucking weird if you ask me! (him not you)

Of course its normal to feel upset. Hes still sleeping in your bed ffs. Does she know this? Hope you're alright

I would be gutted. I am separated from my dh and living in the same house. That would kill me.

I agree with pictish.

Does she know that he sleeps in the same bed as you?

I'm sorry that this has happened - I'm with you, it's too soon and it's hurtful.

Apparently asking him to sleep downstairs was 'unbelievable' as he's 'not infectious'

I might have then unintentionally ended the conversation shouting by calling him a fuckwit.

Ouch, what a tit he is. I find it weird you've been trying to share a bed. It's massively stupid of him to throw some "honesty" into that explosive mix.

I have no idea if she knows - she hasn't yet approached me to discuss this. Why couldn't they have just done that? Waited, and talked to me. Oh well! At least it's a decisive end to this.

x-post, seriously does he not understand why it's not appropriate to share your bed?! What a tosser.

Wow. Just. Wow. I'm not surprised you feel hurt. What a pair of inconsiderate arses.

Ugh. Some friend. Poor you. Not ok. I would wonder about the overlap tbh.

And the fact that he doesn't understand why you're upset really underlines how right you were to end the relationship.

Seriously insensitive of them both.

If you had any doubts you had made the wrong decision, you now know you have without a doubt made the right choice to end your relationship.

His behaviour shows a total lack of respect for you.

I have a daughter that lives with us, but he's not her dad. Fortunately. Another reason why I made the right decision - she's not fussed about him going.

I just can't understand it - he looked so upset, he feels like he's the victim here, and that he's done nothing wrong. People eh?!

"... my decision ultimately..." In other words, you dumped him. What right do you think you now have to control his life? YABU, in spades.

tinker - I don't want to control his life. I just wish they'd had a bit more compassion and waited at least until he'd moved out?

Is there any reason that you can't ignore get over why he can't just get the fuck out now?

One more night on the sofa

Tomorrow he goes

Well if he's moving in with her at the end of the month he can get a wiggle on and stay with her til then. I cannot believe he thnks it's ok to tell you this and then expect to sleep next to you. Twazock

Actually, sorry but YAB a bit U. You have dumped him. You no longer want him as your partner. It's not your business who he has sex with. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt to see him move on quickly, but it's a little unfair for you to attack him for doing so when you dumped him.
