To be suspicious of this text

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??

Sorry you've gone through this op but ...I'm just wondering how your career is going?

You could do a roaring trade in teaching women how to spot "the signs" and how to deal with the bullshit so many of us fall for. Bloody well done you. 👍👏
May your next man be clever enough to realise how fab you are and treat you properly. Xxxx❤

100000% seeing someone else. Have him show you the conversation with his "sister"...you have every right to see if he's a liar.

Yeahsurewhatever · 15/08/2019 01:20

I figured something had happened in the past with them
Eg they'd fooled around but not had full sex
..he's not counting that one

Either way it doesn't matter
Will done op for handling it!

Seems really suspicious OP. I say go with your gut. I brushed off too many odd things that happened when I met my ex and regret that, he ended up being terrible and a cheat. Don't make the same mistake. His reaction suggests that he has at least one other woman and that text was for her.

AnotherAdultHumanFemale · 15/08/2019 01:47

Ah sorry just realised I got to this post late and you've already dumped him. Well done OP, sounds like a lucky escape!

Kplpandd · 15/08/2019 07:58

I am in awe of OP. If only I'd dumped guys at the first sign of shady behaviour I'd have saved myself a lot of past heartbreak.

I even believed this guy until he used the 'I delete texts when I get them' line. I've actually heard that before lol

Love the username

I’ve a feeling the “counting” was an autocorrect for “coming” Hmm
Little fucker

@letsjustsee

BettysLeftTentacle · 15/08/2019 09:51

Stay classy OP 💪

Vivi890 · 15/08/2019 09:51

Good for you!!!

isthismylifenow · 15/08/2019 10:01

Sometimes blokes do not come up with the best of responses when put on the spot like this. Grin

Yes, my ex is in this club.

RonnieScotts · 15/08/2019 10:01

Well done OP, you swiftly and impressively dodged a bullet!

Never mind the lying and two timing, but clearly quite dumb as well so all in all not a great catch really.

PatricksRum · 15/08/2019 10:11

Yes OP 💪💪

SophieSong · 15/08/2019 10:16

Wow, that is one impressive response. Hope you did indeed get lovely, peaceful sleep!

ilikemethewayiam · 15/08/2019 11:11

I ignored glaring red flags like this in the first six months of my relationship to my ex. 22 years of narcissistic hell followed before I left. I wish I had had your balls OP. It would have ended before it really began and saved myself years of pain and psychological damage. Huge well done to you. Stay savvy and classy!

stanski · 15/08/2019 11:21

Nice on OP!!

stanski · 15/08/2019 11:21

Nice *one OP :-)

Toothproblems · 15/08/2019 11:21

Bin him. if you fall for his rubbish then your setting yourself up. İt's clearly not for his sister. You don't need a load of strangers to tell you that. End it with him now. He's miles away and obviously seeing other people and not invested. He's panicked because you will stop seeing him and there's no guarentee with this other woman. He's keeping his options open. Don't do that to yourself. Life is too short

Toothproblems · 15/08/2019 11:24

Sorry didn't see your update. Well done
