Fuming with this guy

So I have been very casually dating a guy for about year, my choice i am a single
parent and my 11 year old comes first and we are going through assessments etc for ASD so he know I am not interested in commitment. I see him once a week usually, he’s good company and a laugh but as I got to know him more ive realised he is so lazy…turn off.

Anyway I had quite a lot of valuable things and decided before Christmas I’d put them on Vinted to help with costs for this Christmas. For some reason it wouldn’t let me add my bank details so I said can I add yours and will you transfer it. I made a sale it wasn’t much money £50 so the money went to him i was with him and I said transfer it over. He said I can’t my bank charges have taken it. I wasn’t happy and I said I want it tomorrow. That was Sunday and he has ignored me since. I am not contacting him again and if he contacts me he’s getting told to piss off. Write the money off. I feel like he’s trying to make out that I am in the wrong for getting mad at him. Also he is a total love bomber, dont think I have ever heard him call me by name just gorgeous and I hate it makes me cringe.

I don’t feel hurt or anything but what an absolute prick. I certainly pick them even in the most casual way. I genuinely want to stay single for good now I am done and happy to be done. I don’t know what happened to decent guys.

Slightly off topic but I'd be looking into why my own bank details wouldn't work, that seems very odd, have you had any other banking problems

Also stop seeing him, he doesn't sound like a worthwhile catch

Not sure why haven’t had any problems with my bank but did have a Vinted ages ago and forgot details so started a new one could be that.

Screams of lazy/careless, rather than anything malicious.

Good thing you didn't get too involved.

The thing is though he knew my money would be eaten up I asked before I pressed to release it that’s what made me angry.

You seem to know all about him OP. I've never spent money on getting rid of bfs though. Get the cash off him, you said you needed it for dd's Christmas presents.

I’d try to get the money then dump his ass. This is why it’s better to take things slow and make sure you know the whole person.

Once a week for year doesn’t get much slower than that. He has never given me any reason to think he is not trust worthy in that sense so I am surprised. Obviously like everyone else i am struggling a bit for Christmas and I just think what a shit head he knows why am doing the Vinted thing.

I am not chasing him for the money, if it gets rid of him and his constant overbearing flattery that’s a good thing. At first he seemed to have his shit together but as he’s let his guard down he’s a bit of a slob so I was looking at him differently think he picked up on this and thought I wlll steal her cash on my way out.
