What’s the name for when….

[Thosekensbekenning]

….you significantly lower your standards for a man and then they conversely get a huge confidence burst and go on some hot boy glow up, join a gym, buy a whole new wardrobe, reach for that promotion they never felt they were good enough for and THEN they decide that actually they might be too good for you now.

anyone know?

Bonus question. Can I invoice for services rendered?

Infidelity. He’s got a new iron in the fire.

Indeed - I don’t disagree

im going to start pointedly looking at his receding hairline everytime we talk. Start undoing some the hours I put in

Martyrdom. Watching this going on and doing fuck all about it except moan.

Or were you wanting a word to describe him??

@ssd you ok?

Ingratitude?

Im fine, am i reading your post wrong?

Cos it sounded like martyrdom to me. You've lower your standards for a man, then supported him whilst he's improved himself to the point where he thinks he's doing you a favour just being there, and rather than wondering why you actually are still there, you want a name for his behaviour?
Apologies if I've read it wrong but thats what I'm seeing here.

Bottom line is, dont lower your standards significantly for a man or anyone else. You're worth just as much as them, probably more. Be good to yourself.

I rather agree with ssd. But there are two labels here: yours is martyr, his is arsehole.

Your martyrdom does not justify or excuse his arseholism.

I feel like it should be a variation on cocklodger. Cockjumper? Cockcatapulter? 🤔

Whatever it is, yes this should be billable 😂

{Also sorry this has happened}

ironic

lucky escape

It's called never lower your standards for a man

Well, you could dump him now and see how well he does on his own.

Sums it up perfectly, I will add gullible

I'm not seeing martyrdom, more that the OP is in the process of arming herself to do something about him.

Are you ok?

I think it's cheeky fucker.

Ah ok - we’ve only been dating 6 months. I can assure you there’s no martyrdom. This one is being sent back for a refund

I’m doing gods work out here

Chalk it up to experience, and chuck him back. There's better out there for you. 😉

The name is ‘don’t let the door hit you on the way out’

Wanker

Idiot (as he doesnt know how good he has it right now)

User

Good for you!

Cockcatapult the cocklodger.
