Hi ladies,

So ive been dating a guy for a while now (8 months) we get on amazing, he lives 100 miles away from me so makes dating hard, but I'm 100% committed to him and he says he is with me. However;
We were talking tonight via text about him going out with his friend and I get a text saying " I don't understand why you're counting with us 🤦🏻‍♂️♥️ Xxxxxx"

He then proceeded to (in my own opinion) panic and text me straight away saying the text was for his sister, he then called me 7 times, text me 3 times and messaged me on Instagram within 5 mins ( I was in the shower at the time this happened)

I would've thought the text was strange but laughed it off because I had no reason to mistrust him, however his response to this had put me on edge, am I right to have this feeling??? What would you do??

That's how to do it... GrinGrin

well done for NOT buying this bullshit OP. I'm curious as to what he will fake up as a screenshot of convo from his Sister.. he might backdate/time whatsapp etc.. and create a whole convo with a second phone.. which is easily done .. beware Hmm

okay I maybe put way too much thought into that.. Sorry lol

Brilliant response!

I'd say with us means this/our relationship. Because whatever she's counting doesn't apply to us(them).

TatianaLarina · 14/08/2019 21:38

‘with us’ = us two in our special intimacy.

RandomMess · 14/08/2019 21:38

Love your response Grin

Apparently he deletes his texts as they come through...

Yeah fucking right! Good on you OP for off-loading the twat! You deserve better!

sonjadog · 14/08/2019 21:40

Ah well, you got your answer there. At least you found out what he was like early on.

I also thought of number of shags. Deffo not the sort of text I would expect a sibling to send to their sister unless they were into incest.

AntiHop · 14/08/2019 21:41

Well done op!

Mummyoflittledragon · 14/08/2019 21:42

Have none of you ever done a stocktake before. You are counting the stock and it’s usually done in teams. It could be genuine, I hope it is.

Regardless of what his text meant, the “us” definitely implies he’s in some kind of relationship with another woman. It’s w very intimate word really.

Well done OP!

pangolina · 14/08/2019 21:43

I'm sorry op

DifficultPifcultLemonDifficult · 14/08/2019 21:44

Well done you.

Great response, put up with zero bullshit, and you be likely saved yourself years of heartache.

Onwards and upwards, you deserve better.

God you’re good Op!

Now the hard bit- standing firm. Maybe he will tell the truth. Guessing not though.

ThatCurlyGirl · 14/08/2019 21:45

I would just think someone had organised a get together and let him know you two are invited as a couple but he doesn't feel ready so is just saying he's surprised they've invited you as a pair automatically.

The heart and kisses after the appropriate facepalm emoji depends who it was to - my mum or dad I'd add these but a mate I wouldn't, for example

🤦🏻‍♂️ 💗 xxxxxxxx

Ooh though yes to PP a typo for "coming" with us also seems very likely.
