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??

Well done OP. Just out of interest do you know any of his friends and are you friends with him or them on social media? Wondering if he might try and get through to you some other way.

He was obviously trying to flirt with some poor woman going on the stock count with him. Clearly most people don’t send hearts and that many kisses to their siblings.

But bravo Op, superb response and absolutely justified. Stupid Count! 😂

Speakercube · 14/08/2019 22:31

Way to go OP! He was certainly one you couldn't 'count' onGrin

Persea · 14/08/2019 22:31

Him not you - obvs.

TatianaLarina · 14/08/2019 22:31

Does the counting not refer to the kisses?

Most likely.

ifpossible · 14/08/2019 22:33

Obviously I don’t know you but even so - Very Bloody Proud Of You!! What a complete dick 👊🏻

zeezee3 · 14/08/2019 22:34

@letsjustsee have you or anyone else thought for a second that he may have done nothing wrong?

At least wait to see what he has to say. Maybe he was just trying to contact you coz he was worried you would think he was up to something (when he wasn't.)

Just blocking him and ghosting him seems harsh.

Inappropriatefemale · 14/08/2019 22:36

Loved your text to him OP, he’ll be like WTFConfused hahaha

thatwouldbeanecumenicalmatter · 14/08/2019 22:40

At least wait to see what he has to say

zeezee3 - did you not read the OPs update he text her about a jumbled incoherent mess about stocktaking?

IWouldLikeToSeeTheseMangoes · 14/08/2019 22:44

@letsjustseehave you or anyone else thought for a second that he may have done nothing wrong?

I don't like to speak for anyone else but I'd say we did think for a second then based upon his ridiculous panicked reaction and utter bullshit excuse that he deletes all texts decided no chance.

He earned that ghosting.

glitterfarts · 14/08/2019 22:45

I read the "counting with us" as either counting down to a wedding or counting down to a birth.

Go OP! Nice to see someone value themselves, and not go on about how they love them, and ....

EileenAlanna · 14/08/2019 22:49

@SmellbowSpaceBowl I see it unfolding as being his "best gal" 100 miles away who desperately wants to tag along in the forlorn hope that he'll realise she's the love of his life, cos xxxs on texts prove she is in her now deluded & needy state.
We definitely need this "translated" or it'll drive me mad.

Ellie56 · 14/08/2019 23:03

Stocktakes? Hmm Yeah right.

Soosiesue · 14/08/2019 23:03

@deste but anyone who has ever completed a stock take would ever put a heart in the same sentence

Well done OP

louisvootin · 14/08/2019 23:05

Go with ur gut op

Masketti · 14/08/2019 23:06

Well done you OP for listening to yourself and knowing in your heart you're right. You no longer have to waste time worrying whether you're being cheated on.

Cotswoldmama · 14/08/2019 23:13

Op you are amazing!

wheresthehope · 14/08/2019 23:14

OP you are my idol! Star

sincethereis · 14/08/2019 23:19

Amazing response, OPSmile

louisvootin · 14/08/2019 23:19

If he was really genuine he could get a screenshot from his sister to send to you thats assuming she doesnt delete all messages immediatly which ithink you will find she probably does.
Sorry opFlowers

VenusTiger · 14/08/2019 23:20

I think the heart and face palm emojis say more than the text.... so if he’s asking why “she” is counting dates/encounters that’ll explain the face palm - I would never send a heart to my brothers I only send them to my DH or about my DS - kisses yes, but heart emoji, no not buying it.

overnightangel · 14/08/2019 23:29

I was waiting for the “Ive deleted my messages” line, so so predictable!!

FirstTimeToddlerMum · 14/08/2019 23:44

Well played OP Grin

"If he was really genuine he could get a screenshot from his sister to send to you thats assuming she doesnt delete all messages immediatly which ithink you will find she probably does."

This!

Well done OP, it's just lucky you didn't have to waste more time on him.
