Man in his 40s I'm getting to know. Starting to notice behaviour but not sure if it's insecurity or a bad attitude.
Things like asking me what my ex does then saying how boring. Then reminding me he goes different places in his job.
He talked about someone we both knows child being attacked last week. I'm close to the boys auntie so updated him when the attacker was caught. He said to me today he never listens when people talk about others. Then he used my update as an example and said he was thinking hasn't she got anything better to tell me. He laughed but I almost hung up the phone. It felt like he was being childish as he's told me bits about other people's lives many times!
He can talk with respect about many People in the industry he's in. But he also will tell me the young lads are cocky or people think they know it all and they don't.
He says I confuse him alot in messages etc. Nobody else has ever had trouble with understanding what I am writing.
I told him my ex had taken me for a walk through a place he's working at ten years ago. He sort of said oh dear next subject.
His kids are grown up and he's been quite blunt about not being interested in people banging on about homeschooling etc. Also when I had a day feeling fed up about being stuck home etc with kids he said I was being so negative about everything.
Now I am finished with him. He's not my type at all based on this. But I am curious if this is low self esteem or just a cocky big head?
Alot of contradicting goes on too.
