To think he's nasty?

[RainbowBriteUk]

I've recently been getting close to an ex. Had a few dates and everything was going well.

We've been texting and I called him an old affectionate nickname that he once said he loved when I called him it. When I used the term of affection (it's nothing romantic or lovey dovey) he text back saying 'please don't start all that shit again'. I was a bit taken aback by his reaction to be honest. AIBU and being overly sensitive?

It sounds like you are on totally different pages about where you think your relationship is. I’d back away from him very quickly.

Tone is hard on messages. It sounds like you’re in different places.

Why is he an ex?

Well, it depends on the name really.

There isn't really a relationship as of yet. Not as it used to be when we were together anyway. Just been on a few dates and enjoyed each others company.

And this is probably why he's an ex. Dont go back to the same old rubbish. End it now before you waste any more time and cause yourself more heartache x

I'm not going to say the name on here as it'll be outing possibly. As I said it's not romantic, just something I used to call him casually

@LadyLolaRuben it's difficult because when we get on we get on great. Every now and then he says some horrible stuff.

Yes he sounds nasty.

Did you ask what he meant by 'that shit'?

Thanks @OneAugustNight I suspected so. The name doesn't warrant his reply at all. He's a dick.

@LemonFantaGin No I didn't as there really isn't any shit!

Take this as a warning, and don’t go there.

He's an ex for a reason and he's still an arse.

Never go back, you split for a reason, that reason will reappear one day

He's also had a go at me for turning the car radio down before. Saying he hates when people do that. It was only when we were trying to have a conversation that I turned it down.

I've recently been getting close to an ex.

Once again, could have stopped reading there. He's your ex for a reason. Probably several reasons. Have you read what you've written about him? He's an absolute fucking prick. Why on earth would you get back together with him?

Release yourself from this moment of madness and dump him, forever this time.

Yep, he sounds pretty nasty.

Cut him loose and enjoy your life, they're usually ex's for a reason.

Is this the one that keeps cancelling on you? You don't seem to be getting the message?

The last date we went on was yesterday and it was lovely and really nice. I don't understand him at all.

@corrblimeygg no that's my best friend. Also a waste of space lol.

I agree with this. He doesn't seem this as you do

Do you think he's stringing me along then? He's definitely not in it for the sex. Does he enjoy the power?

It comes across that he's just not that keen on you.

Why did you break up before?
