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?

And that doesn't ring alrm bells for you??

Put your big girl pants on and tell him to fuck off, know your worth and stop this before it escalates in to the same shit relationship you left before. The is a reason he is an ex!

I've told him to fuck off and that I'm worth more. He didn't like that and started pointing out my faults.

Good for you and stick to it.

I know it's hard, believe me I do! I'd given up with online dating and all that and actually resigned myself to the fact that I was going to be single, that it would just be my son and I.
Then out of the blue, my DP came along when I was 37 and we are stupidly happy.
It does happen! Good luck xx

Well done.

Well done you.

He is still a knob

Round of applesauce for you, well done!

Block him.

You don't need to read his wanky little opinion on your faults. It's been established he's a prick, so block him.

That's lovely! How did you meet your dp? I don't go out much except to work and so I worry I'll never find anyone!

Thanks everyone

Red flag

Maybe he wants a new relationship with you, separate to the one you've had before. Like a fresh start for you both, and maybe old nicknames don't help him with that?

Not sure though, he might just be being a dick.

Sorry... just read through your updates. You're well rid! Xx

You have only been out a few times

And he is making you feel like this already ….

There is your answer

Nothing to add except that now he's off on one listing your "faults" it's time to block him.

FWIW that would be a shitty way to respond to you from anyone not just him. You deserve to be treated in a way that makes you feel good not anxious or unhappy.

Bless you! Please do not let this total wanker's nastiness and cruelness take away your self worth. He will try, hence the list of your supposed faults. They do that, these narcissists, refuse to take any blame or accountability.

Proud of you girl, for telling him to FO! Brilliant!

Work on self-love and daily affirmations about how amazing you are! Then you will attract the right man into your life who will value you. Good luck darling x
