My sister’s ex boyfriend. He had moved in with her at my parents house and was paying hardly any rent. He also moved his parents puppy in as they couldn’t control it and it destroyed some of my parents furniture. He told her he wanted to marry her in the future - they were looking at buying a house together (viewing them and everything), planning their future including getting a dachshund, my sister has always wanted one. Problem was, he was a bit scared of committing so my sis often got frustrated with him. He also was funny about money and wouldn’t be open with her about how much he had saved. He spent thousands of pounds on pop vinyl figurines and Lego at the age of 30.
He didn’t come home one night and told her he had stayed with his Nan. When he came back the next day he was suddenly completely different. Told our entire family that my sister was always horrible to him and acted as though she had caused him to be severely depressed. We were all really worried about his mental health as he was just moping around every day, and we were constantly checking in on him to make sure he was ok.
Then he just blanked her. Wouldn’t talk to her at all. We were all really concerned for him and my sister got in touch with his mum to let her know that she was worried about his mental health.
His mum sent a text back to her telling her that she was a nasty little bitch and it was her fault that he was upset.
My sister was devastated at this. She had been frustrated, yes, but had never been horrible to him. They had lived with my parents too so their relationship was very ‘on show’ - we would know if anything more was happening and she definitely wasn’t a nasty little bitch.
Eventually he came and moved his stuff out but wouldn’t talk to anybody. Refused to pay for the furniture his dog had damaged and counted out his money box to make sure we hadn’t stolen any of his pennies.
Turns out he had been cheating on my sister with a girl from work. Obviously feeing guilty he tried to gaslight her and everybody else into believing that she was a horrible person and that he was getting out of an abusive relationship. He had lied to his family too - hence the nasty text from the mum.
He bought a house and a dachshund with the new girl not even 6 months later. Then he got her pregnant soon after. I feel so angry that he gave the new girl the life my sister wanted.
Writing this, it doesn’t seem so bad, but the way he treated her and told his family that she was nasty to him when he was actually cheating on her the whole time is unforgivable in my eyes. I am so angry with him for the pain and hurt my sister went through, and the fact she can no longer trust anybody.
He still spends a ridiculous amount on Lego... for himself.
