New man and younger woman friend

[Jasmine89]

Sorry another post from me! Been seeing a new man for a couple of months now, he seems lovely and is attentive and caring. We’re both in our 50s and divorced. He has a much younger woman friend who he describes as beautiful and they spend quite a lot of time together. They met through their dogs and usually go dog walking but I know she spends time at his place too. She doesn’t have family so he’s having her round for Christmas dinner as he’s not visiting his family either (so just the two of them). He did ask me to go along to something she’s organising this weekend but I can’t make it. I can’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable about the older man/beautiful young woman friendship, although he’s been very open about it. Am I being unduly paranoid?

And this was the man who was going to take me shopping tomorrow to buy me a really expensive gift...

I suspect he didn’t actually want to buy the present, and getting butt tonight gives him an excuse to blame it all on you and gives him a reason to rescind the offer.

As if you’d be bothered about the twat’s present anyway.

@OutbackQueen - that's a very common tactic of manipulative men. they promise they are going to do something really amazing and generous for you and then find a reason you have disappointed them/let them down so they withdraw the offer. Never were going to be generous, just enjoy getting your hopes up and then making you feel like the missed opportunity is all your fault.

Really disappointed he shut me down. He must have known I’d be nervous about meeting his younger very beautiful friend (and she was!) but there was zero acknowledgement of that. This was the man who the night previously had pulled out all the stops to give me a wonderful evening at his house.

He's a complete attention seeking twat op. Enjoy a lovely Christmas without him.
