In thinking it's strange not to want me at his house?

Been with DP 2 years. I moved in with him briefly last year as I had nowhere else to stay (landlord of my house went bankrupt etc) but he moved again and I took over the tenancy of his house. So we do have a lot of history, it's certainly not a new relationship. I helped him move etc and stayed the night at his new house so I know he didn't move in with another woman or anything. Since then though he's been really funny about me going to his house. The only time he's ok with it is if I give him plenty of notice (like a few days notice).
A while ago he invited me around (this is very rare) during the day, he made me lunch etc and I put my shopping in his freezer but I forgot to take it home, not realising until later. I text him saying I'd pop around for my stuff and he was all like "No no, I'll bring it to you". So I told him I was going passed his house anyway so I might as well just pick it up and he made excuse after excuse and in the end insisted that he bring it to me???

Same thing happened again with something else, I said I'd pop in after work and pick it up. He protested, made excuses, acted strange but I pushed it this time because I was starting to wonder what he was up to and in the end he agreed but wanted a specific time in which I'd be there.

He bought me a cake a couple of days ago. Came around to my house but forgot it. I said "No worries, I'm going passed your house tonight on the way to the opticians, I'll pick it up" so he went on with his excuses, trying to get out of it, saying he'd bring it to me, even tried to say he'd drop it in at 5am on his way to work!! I was like "err no, that's just stupid, I'll just pick it up" so reluctantly he agreed but again wanted a specific time and text me an hour before to ask if I was still going and would it be the same time still. I was in a shit mood when he text so I replied saying "actually no, I have to much on tonight, sorry. I'll pick it up tomorow when I leave work". He agreed and seemed relieved. SO I was supposed to be picking it up this afternoon and I've just had a text saying he's leaving work early so will go home, pick up the cake and come back to mine to drop it off!! this is really going out of his way!! why?? I know for a fact he's not married lol, so why the urgency in keeping me away from his house?

I used to live about forty minutes away from my exF. I went to stay with him at his flat for the weekend and noticed there was no sign of my stuff that I kept there, shampoo, toothbrush etc. The picture of us together he kept by the bed was shoved down the back of the bedside table.

A while later they had all magically appeared again. At first he said I had imagined it Hmm and then after I kept on about it he said 'Oh yeah I was cleaning and forgot to put them back.

He was seeing someone else of course. It turned out he was a total cheating, lying, slimy nobber.

I really hope there is an innocent explanation for the OP but but it doesn't look good :(

OP... if you stay over ever, leave hairs in the bed and hairgrips etc lying about, under pillows etc.

Hope OP has found some answers, although the lack of posting suggests a painful outcome.

Sorry to go off subject, but I still can't get the bookmark thing to work. Doing lots of hovering on the right side, but nothing.

thenightsky · 18/06/2011 22:32

Beryl.. dont fret yersen re the bookmark. Just use 'threads I'm on' to check for new posts.

howdidthishappenthen · 18/06/2011 22:42

Bugger. I have been in this relationship. Not with this man, but the same relationship, just the same. And yes, he was living with another woman. I was bloody FURIOUS. Not least because everyone had 'told me so..'. Sorry, bit we did tell you so!

QueeferSutherland · 18/06/2011 22:44

Damn, I really want a Krispy Kreme now. I wonder if DH will syop off at the 24hr Tescos.

Also, this bloke is clearly shifty. The more I nose on the thread dwell on it, the odder it seems.

ChocolateTeacup · 18/06/2011 22:45

Hope you find some answers

MrsDistinctlyMintyMonetarism · 18/06/2011 23:11

OP, I really hope that everything was as innocent as you'd hoped and that you are ok.

wandawings · 18/06/2011 23:16

Make sure that you have the site set to Mumsnet new and yes to bookmarks. Hover to the far right of the post you have got up to in a thread and a little button will appear, press that. When you next click on the thread, either in the list or on "Threads I'm On" then you will automatically go to that post.

I reckon he is a cross-dresser Smile

or maybe I just watched too much Coronation Street Blush Confused

Hope you're Ok OP.

BerylStreep · 18/06/2011 23:49

Wanda, thanks so much - I was on Mumsnet classic, that's where I was going wrong!

wandawings · 19/06/2011 08:39

You're welcome :)

CrapolaDeVille · 19/06/2011 10:30

Angry Come on OP....curiosity is killing me.

BrawToken · 19/06/2011 10:45

Dealing drugs is my first thought. He maybe has scales and stuff like that to tidy away and maybe the place smells of weed/there are loads of wasted people lying around?

OP, are you ok?

catinboots · 19/06/2011 10:50

What happened??? Another one marking my place

handsomeharry · 19/06/2011 14:07

If after two years you have to make appointments to see him I wouldn't care what he's getting up to at home, i'd be busying finding someone who actually likes being with me.

Oh but i would hazard a guess that he is just very very messy.
