He has a girlfriend for over a year . I thought he had a fwb thing for some months but I was duped. We started to pull way back from one another two months ago and I was mad as hell because during his relationship he was still texting me telling me I was this that and the other -all bullshit.I was flattered but had zero intention on f acting on anything.He text those two months ago to explain how it was time for us to disengage once he decided it was time not to treat her like shit anymore or he might lose her and she had also got a sniff of his contact with me.I was in an abusive relationship then. I replied by telling him that it was indeed time as his behaviour was unfair and inappropriate.
There was no way I was going to let him off the hook with him trying to convince me he was doing me a favour so the last words were essentially( and in other words) keep it light or keep the fuck away from me. I alluded to him being a sleaze and boy he didn’t like it. Now however he seems really distant and things are awkward.He is now started to be loud and vocal about his wonderful social life and plans with his girlfriend to anyone in the office who will listen. This from a man who didn’t mention her name for well past a year and nobody knew she existed.I don’t know what his game is and I don’t know how to respond. It is uncomfortable and I’m mortified deep down and although I play the ice queen act well, I am mad as hell.help!

Get over yourself @Plentymorethere you seriously sound like a 17 y.o. kid who is obsessed over some bloke at work who she can't have.

Very immature behaviour.

Have some self respect FGS.

Do I come across as like a woman in love

In all honesty, you sound ridiculously jealous and are behaving obsessive over someone you had nothing with and as though you are a victim of some cruel act by him.

You enjoyed the chase and attention despite being in a relationship and fail to see anything wrong with your own actions, but once he moves on and wants to be serious with someone he is a sleaze? How exactly, because he's no longer boosting your ego?

You are over-reacting and he is certainly not being insensitive, good on him for prioritising the woman that he is actually in a relationship with. Here's hoping you do not attempt to cause issues for them. If he asks you for any recommendations you can say you unfortunately do not have any suggestions, you are not obligated. As for him discussing his relationship - that is his business. He's made his boundaries clear and appears to be happy with this woman.

You have said you have left an abusive relationship, perhaps it's time you focused on your boundaries and working on your self esteem before you consider dating again. Understand and work through any issues the abuse may have had, that will certainly help you in the long run.

As for him, stop seething, let him live his life. He has not wronged you.
