In relationship with secretive man

245 replies

Tausif · 08/08/2019 17:12

This sounds mad, but I have a relationship with a man I don't know anything about. Apart from what he tells me. We are together for 9 months now, he always stays at my place. I have never seen his place, his family, I don't know where he works, nothing. There is no trace of him on the internet. He does not answer my questions. Any sane woman would have thrown him out long ago, but I have never been in love like that.

Have you done a pact with the devil?

I'm not sure what the OP gains from this thread, she begins a thread with fuck all information and barely replies to any questions asked. None of it makes any sense at all. What a waste of everyone's time and effort who replied.
Maybe she had a bet, how many replies can I get to a totally implausible situation?

Well op you're as secretive as your partner!!

Good luck with each other. Blood out of a stone springs to mind. You must be dynamite in the sack bevause your conversation must be seriously lacking

Well its actually quite logical that the OP hasn't visited her secretive lover's home, as he doesn't live in the UK, so its not easily done. Its not like it can be a spur of the moment thing. Or its not as though he can invite her back to his daughter's place if that's where he stays when he's in the UK at weekends.

I would have thought the OP would have worked this out for herself, but communication does appear to be a weakness.

Some of the comments on this thread are a bit ridiculous. Ive never been to my bf's place. He hasnt "proved" he is divorced either!

Takeitonthechin · 09/08/2019 22:08

OP how did you meet him?

Well OP doesn't want advice any more apparently, so let's explore your situation instead @3131RueCambon.
How long have you been dating your bf? Why haven't you been to his house? Have you met his friends and family?

AnneKipanki · 09/08/2019 22:31

And is Chanel your favourite?@31RueCambon

31RueCambon · 09/08/2019 22:34

I do love Cristalle, absolutely love it. And it's one of the few scents I've loved since I was in my 20s that has not been discontinued!

But they brought back Eau de Givenchy!

31RueCambon · 09/08/2019 22:38

Sorry, AnneKipanki, I assumed that comment was on the I'm a perfume blogger AMA thread Confused
Don't worry about me, I've no need to wonder if my bf is married!

Cryalot2 · 09/08/2019 22:44

Maybe I have read too much, given whst you have said, he could be a criminal who has had an identity change. Get the police to check him out for your own safety.

KatherineJaneway · 09/08/2019 22:46

He lives in Paris but comes to London each weekend. His daughter 26 lives in highgate. He wants his daughter to meet me

You go from not knowing anything about him to knowing where he lives, he has a daughter and after not knowing any of his family and friends, you are suddenly going to be introduced to his daughter. Really?

MRex · 10/08/2019 08:39

OP - do you want to restate what your AIBU is supposed to be about?

KatherineJaneway · 10/08/2019 09:06

OP isn't coming back.

AnneKipanki · 10/08/2019 09:53

No worries @31RueCambon
I just checked the address as I thought it might be OP secretive man's address and you were actually the OP with a name change.
Very weird thread BTW
I wonder if it is some sort of writing project.

31RueCambon · 10/08/2019 15:10

Ha ha he'd be a rich man if that were his address!

iamadramallama · 10/08/2019 15:26

This would drive me crazy. I think I'm a frustrated detective but how can you not know about him?!? I'd have hired a private detective or gone incognito and followed him to find out months ago Grin

Battytwatty · 10/08/2019 15:34

Well that’s 10 minutes I’ll never get back!

Cjmkennedy · 10/08/2019 18:08

Classic double-lifer!

Thatsalovelycuppatea · 10/08/2019 23:41

Married. And blocked you on social media because of it.
