Why does my dp do this?

We're going through a bit of a rough patch right now. We're currently not living together although I'm expecting our second child.

Whenever things get tense he talks in riddles, which promos me to ask what he means - he won't tell me. He'll make a statement, I'll ask does he mean that/can he elaborate - he ignores my request.

He has said he doesn't love me or want to be with me but he'll stand by me. I tell him I'll pack his stuff, I'm not having him around just for the sake of him appeasing his conscience by "standing by me". I'm not pretending to play happy families with someone that doesn't want to be with me, I'm being loyal to myself and am not about to fight a loosing battle no matter how much it hurts. Anyway he texts, don't pack my stuff. For 6hours I've been asking why why why? And what do I get, riddles back, one word answers, stuff that's totally irrelevant. He can't, no won't answer. It's like he enjoys me keep asking over and over.

I'm a high risk pregnancy and currently have high blood pressure. He knows this but carries on with what ever game it is, he just doesn't care.

So what do you make of this? I know ianbu so I'm not even going ask!

Honestly? Pack his stuff, leave it on the door step and send him a text telling him so, then turn your phone off.

I wouldn't feed into his riddles etc TBH as it sounds like he just wants the attention from it.

Focus on you and your DC. You don't need a third baby right now!

Are you seriously trying to have a meaningful conversation via text?

You’re in a stressful pregnancy and he wants to play mind games ?
Pack his bags and block him

Can you honestly be arsed to spend the rest of your life with someone who can't ever give you a straight answer? and someone who knows you are in a high risk pregnancy? He will only ever care for himself.

Life really is too short to invest into selfish people.

What do you mean by riddles? It sounds exhausting tbh

MrsTerryPratchett · 09/08/2019 21:11

Riddles = worst case for him. Every time.

In this case that means pack his stuff and tell him where it will be and when.

But in future, he won't answer straight, do whatever pleases you best. He'll either learn or he won't. But either way you get what you want.

He's taking the piss. Pack his stuff and focus on taking care of yourself and your dc. I don't see how, or why, you'd be able to be with someone who behaves this way especially when you're in a particularly vulnerable situation. He is not the priority, his gagging for attention is entirely unhelpful, cut your losses.

MrsTommyBanks · 09/08/2019 21:48

Fuck that shit. Pack his bags, life will be a lots less stressful. Stop worrying about what he thinks/ feels. Concentrate on yourself and your DC.
He is a knob Flowers

Singlenotsingle · 09/08/2019 21:51

He's playing you like a fiddle. Just pack his stuff and leave it outside the front door. Text him and tell him, then turn the phone off. What a prick.

Cherrysoup · 09/08/2019 22:14

Do what a pp said. Pack a bag for him, stick it on the doorstep, tell him it's there,block him. He's being a twat.
