Am I being unreasonable to just block him now

Hardly heard from someone today who says he loves me. 2nd Christmas without so much as a card nevermind a present. We are long distance and he really doesn't show any interest in seeing me. I keep it going because I'm a mug. My dad died recently and I couldn't cope with anymore distress. I sent him a sound message on WhatsApp, saying hope u had a good Christmas, and love you. I asked if he listened to it and he just replied no babe sorry.
Am I being unreasonable to just block him and stop this bollocks right here and now?

Yanbu. Sounds like a waste of time.

Block
What a waste of time

custardface47 · 25/12/2021 22:33

Absolutely not unreasonable. New year, new start without this waste of energy dragging you down. Two years is too long to be pissing around with someone who isn't interested. Which he clearly isn't.

Block and delete. Then pour yourself a glass of wine to celebrate.

user15364596354862 · 25/12/2021 22:35

I think that sounds like a very good idea. I'm sorry about your dad. Flowers

YouCantTourniquetTheTaint · 25/12/2021 22:36

YANBU block him, he's not worthy of your time or effort.

RedFlagsAllOver · 25/12/2021 22:38

Thank u. I really didn't want to let him get to me today. I've tried to have as good a Christmas as I could without my dad. Had my brother round and now I'm just really pissed off. I'm obviously well down on the list of his priorities

Get rid. He doesn't care about you. So sorry about your dad xx

HollowTalk · 25/12/2021 22:44

If you dump him you will feel so much better about yourself. He doesn't deserve you, you know that.

Dalalalada · 25/12/2021 22:44

So sorry about your dad. Block, delete and dont go back x

HairyFanjoBanjo · 25/12/2021 22:50

If a friend was in your position I expect you’d 100% tell them to dump this arsehole?

Time to invest in self-esteem and worth and say goodbye to this dickhead.

The best Xmas gift you can give yourself.

Wherehasthecommonsensegone · 25/12/2021 22:50

Hi OP, I think YANBU to end things with him if you’re unhappy. Sounds like it’s a difficult time for you, it’s okay to do what you need to look after yourself…………but if you’re in a relationship and not just dating then I think it would be good to at least send a message first/communicate why you’re unhappy and ending things, especially if you’ve not communicated your concerns to him before.

SweetBabyCheeses99 · 25/12/2021 22:51

Well you know best if the relationship isn’t going anywhere but in his defence those voice messages are a bit annoying and he may not have had time alone to listen to it.

RedFlagsAllOver · 25/12/2021 22:59

When he's sent them to me I've always found them more personal, and enjoy hearing his voice and I find the tone of messages can be missed in words.
But in all honesty I think he's up to something. Contacts me freely all week while at work. Goes quiet at the weekend, doesn't listen to sound messages, only phones when out. Clearly hiding something

Yeeeeah he’s married

He's hiding you! From his wife
Leeds2 · 25/12/2021 23:06

Get rid.

WonderfulYou · 25/12/2021 23:11

Sounds like he’s in a relationship already, sorry.

Block him and move on. Stop letting him treat you like a mug. Go into 2022 with a fresh start.

HacerSonarSusPasos · 25/12/2021 23:14

You'd be unreasonable NOT to block him. For your mental health and dignity

He's married or has a live-in partner. Bin. Him.
tectonicplates · 25/12/2021 23:32

He's not the one for you, and you are possibly his bit on the side. Sorry OP but the good news is that if you dump him, you can go on to do so much better for yourself.

BooksAndGin · 25/12/2021 23:35

He's married.

MolkosTeenageAngst · 25/12/2021 23:35

He definitely sounds like he’s leading a double life and has a wide or long term partner. Have you ever actually met him?

PickAChew · 25/12/2021 23:37

Fuck that shit. Sounds like you're the OW.

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 25/12/2021 23:37

He's married.
