AIBU to be pissed off?

Been with my boyfriend for a year, we don’t live together but in the same area. He’s been busy with work so haven’t had time to see each other , on Monday I called him a few times didn’t pick up, so texted him and asked if he could call me back. He didn’t because he fell asleep, fine. Called him on Tuesday, he was at the gym so couldn’t speak. Wednesday he was with his mum because his grandmother was at the hospital, so later that evening he texts me saying he will have a shower and we can ‘ have a talk ‘ once he’s settled. So I say I’ll call at 10pm, he’s fine with that. Call him at 10pm, he doesn’t pick up and texted me saying he’s currently on the phone but will call me back once he’s finished. So I sit there and wait for an hour, I texted him saying I’m going to bed soon and if he’s going to call me back? He then said he fell asleep (which really annoyed me, cuz when he got off the phone with whoever he was speaking to, he just rolled over and fell asleep knowing I was waiting for him?) he just asked if he can come round tomorrow after gym(today) I said yes, he was suppose to be here at 1pm today, he didn’t show up so I call him and he says he’s ill ( he did sound like he had the flu so I don’t think he’s lying) I told him he doesn’t have to come if he’s not feeling well, he says he will come anyway ( I think he felt guilty) anyway 3 hours goes by no text or call even though I can see he’s been on WhatsApp literally every 10 mins. So I just sent him a text saying I’ve been trying to speak to you all week, basically explaining how patient ive been with him and I just give up.

He basically just lost it calling me ‘an inconsiderate piece of shit’ how I’m ‘always arguing with him’ and how ‘he keeps going to the toilet ‘ and ‘ I don’t give a fuck if he’s ill’ and then told me to leave him alone.

AIBU to think that in the 3 hours he was online on WhatsApp he could just have sent me a text saying he feels worse now and won’t be able to come? I told him not to come if he’s ill, but he said he would anyway. So he knew I was waiting for him. I didn’t say anything for 3 hours because I don’t want to keep pestering him, well enough to be on WhatsApp every 10 mins for 3 hours but not well enough to send me a quick text letting me know he’s not coming so I don’t just sit there waiting for him. Who is BU?

Text him what pp says and move on. You deserve better.

Waveysnail · 22/08/2019 22:20

He wants you to dump him

Drum2018 · 22/08/2019 22:28

Don't even bother to text him again. Block his number and on social media etc. If he has a key to your house, change the lock, move on with your life and be grateful you're not married to the prick.

Sunflower20 · 22/08/2019 22:54

Ghost him and move on. He's a twat.

B3ck89 · 22/08/2019 23:12

Dump him and ignore his messages, see how he likes to be ignored.
If he sends them on what’s app then read them and let him wonder why you have been on and not responded.

rededucator · 22/08/2019 23:22

B3 absolutely. OP, you are strong enough yo do this. It sucks. But you're worth more.

Dieu · 22/08/2019 23:25

Your dignity and self-respect should come before any man. That's clearly not happening here, so dump him and move on. Don't just accept the crumbs from his table.

ispepsiokay · 22/08/2019 23:26

On Monday I'd put my money on him being on a date with someone else. That's who he's been on the phone to/texting.

It's over, dump him and move on.

KarmaStar · 22/08/2019 23:31

Sorry op,if someone wants to speak to you,see you,they will find a way.
He has not got the guts to tell you it's over so he is pushing the boundaries so you walk away.
Hold your head up and do exactly that.Don't contact him again.Don't respond to his messages.
It will be a lucky escape for you.

chickenyhead · 22/08/2019 23:40

Yep, you are the back up booty call now.

Walk away and refuse scraps.

Also get down the GUM clinic asap

Sorry, hugs xxx

KatherineJaneway · 23/08/2019 07:42

He’s treating you badly so you’ll dump him. That ways he’s not the bad guy as you ended it. It’s cowardly and on top of how he’s spoken to you I’d just block him and move on

This ^^

HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend · 23/08/2019 07:49

Honestly OP didn’t is this how you envision your future relationship to be?

If so, continue and always be treated as 2nd best.

Personally I choose my husband because I am his priority, he shows he loves me, and he more importantly he RESPECTS me.

Be with someone who wants to be with you and not just someone whose wanting a shag when he wants.

whereisthebloodylunchbox · 23/08/2019 11:01

The only inconsiderate piece of shit is him. I hope you blocked him.
