To have expected my BF to text me on hol?

Angel1983 · 21/10/2014 06:54

I've been together with my bf for over a year now and the relationship has had its ups and downs but is generally pretty good.

A couple of months ago my bf announced that he had booked up to go on holiday with five of his friends who are all single. I was ok with this. It subsequently became apparent that the hotel he was going to was very much based around 'adult' activities.

However, since he has been on holiday he hasn't contacted me at all. It has now been 5 days and I have had zero contact from him. Not even a quick text/email to say he has arrived safely. It is possible that his phone doesn't work abroad so he couldn't text me but he would definitely have been able to email me. The hotel he is staying at has wifi available at a small cost.

When he was on holiday last year (shortly before we got together) he texted me almost every day and we see/talk every day when he's home.

Am I being unreasonable to have expected my bf to make some contact whilst he was away? Even a quick 'I'm fine - I miss you, see you when I get home' text/email would have been enough to stop me from worrying.

Thanks! Sorry this is so long

Onwards and upwards angel. His twattishness knows no bounds and you deserve so much better.

Also arriving late to this thread. Assuming you don't live together, just don't see him anymore. He'll soon get the message that you do mean it and you'll not have to listen to him trying to justify his behaviour.

Please dont keep him in your life. That way misery lies......

'Not sure if it was a joke or not'

The whole things a bit of a joke really Angel....you are so well rid.

Itsfab · 27/10/2014 16:31

Why do you care if it was a joke or not? £20 to get rid of a twat is a bargain!

AcrossthePond55 · 27/10/2014 18:18

You mean he tried to keep £20.00?! What for, a 'nonrefundable fee' like a personal shopper? Wanker!

Maybe I'm just tight with my money, but THAT would be enough to cause me to delete his number & slam the door in his face!

Stupidhead · 27/10/2014 20:24

You should have let him keep the
£20 for a bumper bottle of Dettol and half a dozen wire brushes to scrub his bits with. If the antibiotics don't work.

Angel1983 · 27/10/2014 20:28

Stupidhead, I'm crying with laughter here. Apparently all his friends were out taking full advantage of the 'adult' nature of the hotel each night but he was in bed by 11....... Lololol. Seriously, the fella thinks I was born yesterday!

Stop engaging with him, you said you'd dumped his arse...have you?

Angel1983 · 27/10/2014 20:51

Yes. I am not responding to him.

angel well done for sticking to your guns.

This week my friends boyfriend told Her he needed a break for them as three had been arguing. He actually went abroad with woman. He was still phoning my friend every night while he was there ' at his mums ' . My friend found out on the last night and was devastated, she has spoke to the girl and she said they slept in the same bed but 'didn't do anything'

He can't understand what he has done either Confused

When some men are trapped rather than having the guts to own up they blame the woman and say she is mad/crazy . Don't believe a fucking word he says .

TeaAndALemonTart · 27/10/2014 21:07

Bless. What a twat.

I'm glad you've chucked him Angel. In bed by 11pm, my arse!!

LoveBeingGetAGrip · 28/10/2014 05:15

What a twat, does he really think you are gonna fall for that.

Keep ignoring him

EEVEElution · 28/10/2014 06:48

Sounds like you're well rid.

InThisTogether · 28/10/2014 07:49

Good thread Angel, you have done well, thisis just a little boost to remind you to stay strong and stick to your guns, you have CLEARLY done the right thing, DON'T CRACK!!
Good luck!

Whocansay · 28/10/2014 08:20

I'd go so far as to say get yourself to the STI clinic and get checked out. If he thinks this is OK, what else does he think is OK?

Yuck.

What a pathetic excuse, him in bed by 11 whilst all his friends are taking full advantage of the adult entertainment, I don't think so!

pictish · 28/10/2014 11:41

I think it more like he was in bed with 11.
