I'm in a very new relationship (6 months). Due to lockdown we haven't seen each other in about 5 weeks. We talk daily and have made plans for after lock down. He has asked to come over to mine several times but I have said no as it's against the rules. Anyway this evening we were talking as normal and he decided to ask me if I was trying to see/meet up with other men. To me this implies that he doesn't trust me and doesn't think much of me. I am a single mum at home with my children every day. He is also showing that he is a very insecure person amongst other things. Should I just get rid whilst still in the early stages? AIBU to be pissed off and ignore his numerous texts and phone calls?

Well he sounds delightful. Not sure I’d have the patience for that kind of thing.

Dump.

SillyCow6 · 25/04/2020 23:11

I wouldnt ignore. Id tell him outright and tell him not to contact you again if thats what you want. Big red flags there

Bluebooby · 25/04/2020 23:12

Yeah dump immediately.

To me this implies HE is trying to meet up with, or see, other women. Or thinking about it.

He’s testing the water.

alexdgr8 · 25/04/2020 23:14

it's obviously what he's doing, contacting other people.
just draw a line.
you can do better than this.
good luck.

Ugh. Get rid. It is the start of a pattern of him making accusations and you having to prove that you haven’t done anything wrong. I couldn’t put up with someone whose insecurities got in the way like this.
Lockdown is the perfect time to end things.

"he has asked to come over to mine several times"
That alone is off... In these circumstances. Even normally, you wait to be invited!

1Morewineplease · 25/04/2020 23:22

I spy a red flag.

Navelwort · 25/04/2020 23:23

God, dump. It sounds like he’s trying to pressure you into letting him come over for sex during lockdown, or hinting that he’ll look elsewhere.

Ponoka7 · 25/04/2020 23:25

In isolation it isn't bad to check were you stand. But it depends on what the other things he has said that makes you think that he is insecure.

yerawizadari · 25/04/2020 23:25

I'd reply with "Really? What makes you think that?"

Give him a chance to either try and redeem himself or to really dig himself a hole he can't get out of.

xsarax · 25/04/2020 23:26

Run for the hills !

BloomedAgain · 25/04/2020 23:28

Dump

treenu · 25/04/2020 23:29

Get rid!

Aquamarine1029 · 25/04/2020 23:30

Massive red flag. Be smart and dump.

Timesdone · 25/04/2020 23:30

Needy and insecure. Will make your life hell. Enough.

DesignedForLife · 25/04/2020 23:32

Run!

Boireannachlaidir · 25/04/2020 23:33

YANBU. Get rid of him as fast as you can.

Sparklesocks · 25/04/2020 23:34

Deffo get rid. Accusing you of seeing other men and not trusting you (during a pandemic no less!!) is mostly always a red flag. It’s especially not worth it in the early stages.

Cherrysoup · 25/04/2020 23:35

Get rid, who needs this shit?

blacksax · 25/04/2020 23:35

Blimey. He's obviously angling for a shag, and naturally assumes that you are gagging for it too, and if you are managing to resist his manly offers, then ergo you are getting it elsewhere.

It never ceases to amaze me that so many men believe that so many women are as desperate for sex as they are.

whatdoyoudonow · 25/04/2020 23:36

Yuck!

RealLifeHotWaterBottle · 25/04/2020 23:36

He sounds like a lot of work. Yanbu to be offended
