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??

I do swap heart emojis with my own DBro, and sometimes strings of kisses, but for us it's all tongue in cheek. What made this suspicious was the utter overkill in trying to contact OP to make out it was just an innocent mistake.

@PoppingOneOutIn2020 am still chuckling at that one Grin

Just remember that the concensus of opinion here is one thing, the true position may well be another.

Counting shags for sure, maybe even a prozzie I’m sorry to say

Turquoise123 · 15/08/2019 17:46

Sorry this happened to you but hell- classy response !

Get yourself an STI check too OP x

NarcolepticOuchMouse · 15/08/2019 17:53

I have two adult brothers who text me with kisses, but not 6! That's weird. That was not for his sister at all. The only time we exchange ❤ is when we're fawning over our nephew/one of their sons.

BlueJava · 15/08/2019 18:02

Well done OP! No way was that for his sister and about stocktaking. You did the right thing to delete, block and move on. You are worth more - much more!

Bunnyfuller · 15/08/2019 18:12

I read the ‘why you’re counting with us’ as who paid for dinner/outing/hotel last time. Was he tight, @letsjustsee ? Maybe she was saying ‘I paid for last 3...etc.’ Or perhaps other way round.

Either way he’s too deceitful for you. And too fucking thick. Stocktaking 😂😂😂😂😂

Bennyandthejetsssss · 15/08/2019 18:15

Behind the curve, and probably already said but if it’s a stock check, all staff count all product and return the figures to head office! It’s someone he works with.
He’s flirting with a colleague.

OlivaX · 15/08/2019 18:33

Nope that’s not a text for his sister. He’s bullshitting you. The other woman must have said something like “I’m counting down the days till I see you” 👨🏻‍💼❤️ Xxxxxx = I love you kisses

LifeMovesOn · 15/08/2019 18:55

Ah OP, so sad he did this to you - but girl, what style you have!

Please update us with how many times he’s tried to contact you by other methods. It would’ve been great to have seen his face when he realised he’d screwed up Shock ha ha

Jaxinthebox · 15/08/2019 19:22

way to go OP. Very proud of how you handled this.

Cheesoholic · 15/08/2019 19:31

Perfectly handled 😀❤❤❤❤❤

PurpleFlower1983 · 15/08/2019 19:37

Good work OP! Handled amazingly! Onwards and upwards!

Sissyjd · 15/08/2019 19:39

Well done OP!!...totally get the AIBU over dating esp meeting online & across the country...these guys really do take the p*ss with their behaviour and fuel paranoia.

DontTouchTheMoustache · 15/08/2019 19:41

Op bravo, i am using your approach with men going forwards Grin

ToftyAC · 15/08/2019 19:53

WEll done OP 👏 👏 👏

MissConductUS · 15/08/2019 19:53

I hope you were using protection...

Rose87777 · 15/08/2019 20:01

OMG what an insult to your intelligence?!! SERIOUSLY! Meant for his sister and he deletes all the messages straight away? Fuming for you OP

Lou12124 · 15/08/2019 20:05

PoppingOneOutIn2020

I love that! 😂😂😂

Neverender · 15/08/2019 20:08

YES - and keep it that way. He's a scum bag

manicmij · 15/08/2019 20:09

Tell him you are not "counting" on him for anything now he has no fears and that's it, Bye.
