Middle aged man having fun or being an arse or being taken for a ride?

[Nevertime]

He's kind of a friend of a friend/aquaintance. Longtime divorced, adult children, recently inherited substantially, leading to a significant change in lifestyle .

He's just back from a foreign holiday where he met a woman. Apparently the love of his life, they're in daily contact, making plans for the future. She's much younger, very attractive and TBH out of his league but who knows what makes people attractive?

Anyway, I was out with him and others last night. There are some slightly drunken photos of him with me and other women which he has sent to her to "make her realise what she's missing".

I told him he was a childish *&$% and not to be so unkind. Others felt it's no less than she deserves because she's probably taking him for a ride.

Or everyone's just having fun and why not?

Urgh. He knows his money buys him fanny but he wants to keep her in line by threatening to invade other fanny.

And he's your friend, you say?

No I didn't say he was a friend.

"He's kind of a friend of a friend/aquaintance" is what I said. And I told him I thought his behaviour was poor.

@ALightThatNeverGoesOut

I mean, you're okay with photos of you being used like this?

Where did you get that idea from? In my very short OP I said I'd told him it's not OK.

He sounds like a terrible idiot, so I can’t say that in your shoes I’d be particularly bothered whether or not he was being bled dry by Miss Holiday Romance 2021.

One comment in and PP has nailed it.

Do you think this woman is just after him for his money?

I think he's being taken for a ride and being an arse at the same time.
