To be furious that dp ignores me when ever he feels like it?

Am sitting here fuming. Trying not to send dp an angry text. DP and I live separately and he texts me most evenings that we don't see each other, usually around 9ish. Nothing tonight, so I know he is out whooping it up in the pub, having far too good a time to even give me a thought. Not even a "text you a bit later love, I'm busy". Have told him many times this annoys me, still does it. AIBU or just hard work?

Thanks guys, it helps to hear posters talking sense when I doubt myself. I need to see someone put into words what I already know, if that makes sense. Phone is off and will stay off till I can be bothered to turn it on again, whether it will cause agro or not, I'm past caring tbh. Probably get a text from him tomorrow "I left my phone in the car/battery went dead/signal was down/cat was sitting on my phone" he's so bloody predictable - another thing that drives me mad about him!! Ive had a stressful day at work and was thinking it would be good to talk it over with my "d"p, so threw my toys out of the pram when he didn't call. (If I'd called him and he was in the pub he'd ignore, and that would have made me even madder!) Well now he knows how it feels!!! Night everyone, thanks for your comments, positive or negative, it helps me to chat, you know? Smile

Sleep well Op and if you have a stressful day at work talk to us....keep that phone off.

Good for you. Nothing worse than being in a relationship where you're disrespected.

Good luck.

I was seeing someone for a while who would always text me to ask to see me when he finished work at about 10pm (he worked in a hotel). I'd stay up all hours fully dressed waiting and hoping and getting upset when he either went out somewhere else or didn't text. I drove myself a bit crazy really. One of the nicest things when I ended it was that I could sit in my pj's and go to bed and not have to constantly clock watch and phone watch. It was a relief (although hard at first).

If it makes you feel any better too my mum is 65 and has just started dating again after 30 years alone and has met someone very nice. Never give up!

The idea of staying with somebody because you think you're in last chance saloon is horrifying. Last chance for what? Having a baby? If so, do you think he'll make a good dad? Do you really want to be putting up with this shit when you're 70? Or do you want to spend your life with somebody who loves and respects you and treats you as an integral part of your life?

I know the thought of finishing a LTR is really difficult, but the relief you feel when it's done is immense. Believe me, I've been there. Do you mind me asking how old you are?
