Shall I just bin him off over text

I’d been seeing this guy for about 6 months. Went on a few dates with him. He’s always been a bad texted and said it from the off. But over time it was his behaviour that was the issue.

I’ve heard all the excuses under the sun I feel. And he flakes last minute it randomly changes the day without checking if it’s ok with me.

List of excuses for cancelling dates:

  • Safeguarding issue at work
  • wisdom tooth removal
  • Mums car broke down ans he needed to pick her up (cancelled on the hour)
  • Forgot to reply to me while on holiday for 10 days
  • Forgot to bring a change of clothes to see me for a date
  • His car broke down
  • His car got written off
  • He was hungover and didn’t feel up to it
  • Mums in hospital
  • Uncle died so took longer to reply

So the other day he said “will try and arrange to see you this week” at this point I still wanted to give him a chance. He then took 5 days to reply and just said “I’m so sorry I’ve been shit, works overwhelmed me since I’ve been back. I’m so sorry. Are you okay”

Like I’m bored now of the excuses and I was tempted to break it off over message (I know I don’t owe him that) but I really wanna do it to his face or do what he’s done to me and flake last min. last week he asked what days I’m free. I said “ I’m busy. I’m only free Tuesday. Schedules tight now can’t keep freeing it up” Tuesday rolls round “ohh no I’m off to see my sisters new house” funny how the sister just randomly gets a house on the day I suggest.

Annoyingly I’ve had sex with him. I fucking hate myself so much. Be gentle on me please. My confidence is at rock bottom and yes I reckon he’s married too or very much in a relationship. My mates told me to play the game back. But I cba. Shall I just do this over a text?

The issue I have is that he won’t set a date. And it feels it’s just dragging out unnecessarily. I think if I see him in person. I’ll fall for the bullshit again too.

Just go ahead and dump him by text. So what if “its terrible” to some randoms on the internet? So what if his buddies would be sympathetic to him if he tells anyone? Why should you care. Thats the whole point of dumping him by text: to hurt his feelings and burn your bridge so you can’t cross back over it and return to bad sex with ugly dude town.

Burn it down by text and do some work on yourself. High self esteem will get you better dates than low self esteem.

You've posted this thread again so I guess you didn't dump him after all.
