I'm on holiday abroad and my ex has been looking after my house and pets . I did the same for him a couple of weeks ago. Now, I've done a bit of reflecting whilst I've been away and decided I need only associate with people who have a positive influence on my life. He does not. He's a compulsive liar and was awful to be around when we were together, manipulative, selfish, ignorent, disrespectful and generally a bit of a Dick.
Yesterday he posted photos if himself on Facebook with another woman, I presume for my benefit.
I have decided i Wang no more to do with him at all.

When i looked after his house he brought me back a bottle of wine from Greece. Aibu to not take him anything back and start as I mean to go on? I just can't be arsed with him anymore. I intend to block his Facebook and his mobile number.
AIBU?

No, taking him something back is displaying that you are able to be adult and then disassociating from him shows that you will take care of yourself.

Tying the two together shows that you are really bothered - so of you don't want to show your bothered give the wine and MOVE ON.

Mm... why not bring him something back because he did, after all, look after your house and pets and did bring you a present for doing the same. (Provided he has done the job properly, obviously.) And THEN block him from your life forever.

I think if you don't take him something it might let him think that you are bothered by the pics and still interested in him. I would take him a cheap bottle as a token of your indifference then move on.

HairyArmPit · 02/09/2012 14:12

Yeah you're right. I'll have to go and get him something. Not sure what though, its hard in a Turkish town that resembles blackpool lol

He is your ec for the reasons you have said but he is looking after your house and pet take him something you need to seperate the two or don't have him look after your house again,

Mrsjay · 02/09/2012 14:13

Ex* obviously

Mrsjay · 02/09/2012 14:14

Get him a fridge magnet or some tatt from the market

It depends on if you wish for him to housesit and pet sit in the future really.

I doubt the photo was posted for your benefit, you are on holiday, so why would he think you would be looking on facebook?

He is doing you a favour by looking after the house and your animals, a thankyou gift is simply a token of appreciation for what he has done while you were away.

If you cant be arsed with him, get someone else to do the job in future and both move on in life.

If you are not friends now, then take him a present back as a thank you and then cut contact.

If you were just friends then you would be happy that he is moving on and posting pics etc Confused.
