We have been seeing each other 4-5 months now.
He talks about his ex's a lot
Not any particular ex ...a few even conquests
Some examples
A ex 6 years ago left my favourite chocolates on my doorstep -she only got married to make me jealous when I got back with my ex.
I was at a party and this girl asked where I was staying tonight and I said "with you"
Then he told me he went to Glastonbury and went missing for 2 days in a tent with a random girl.
He then showed me pictures of his ex's on Facebook and spoke about how one had a good body and told me conversations they had.
Then told me about a ex who he didn't realise she had dyed her hair and she got angry.
Than a ex he has a baby with -how 15 years ago she swilled him for talking to another woman.
Is this normal?

Not normal.

redcallbluecar · 29/07/2022 20:29

He also told me a ex said he was narcissistic and had screenshots of the conversation

Nope not normal. He sounds like a juvenile. Dump him...he won't improve over time. In a 4-5 month relationship he should be gushing over you not his (alleged) ex's.

bangersandsmashhh · 29/07/2022 20:37

Block and move on

Coffeaddict · 29/07/2022 20:41

Nope. goodbye. time to find a new one.

JanglyBeads · 29/07/2022 20:44

Am guessing the ex who accused him of narcissism was right.

GetThatHelmetOn · 29/07/2022 20:44

Do you really need to ask? I would cut my loses rather than giving him more rope to hang me with. He is obviously a fantasist… or a wanker worth running away from.

Ontomatopea · 29/07/2022 20:49

RUN

redcallbluecar · 29/07/2022 20:50

I don't get why he does it?
How does he remember it all?
Will I eventually become part of his story

He's a boaster: either because he's insecure or he sees himself as some kind of playboy and needs you to reflect his self image back to him by being impressed by tales of his prowess as a cocksmith.

Boxowine · 29/07/2022 20:53

No,no,no. These are definitely red flags. Don't invest anymore time. Plenty of fish in the sea

Aquamarine1029 · 29/07/2022 20:57

If you have any sense and standards whatsoever you will be running for this hills. This twat is a world class fuckwit.

redcallbluecar · 29/07/2022 21:22

He is 38 so I can't even blame him being immature either.

Aquamarine1029 · 29/07/2022 21:27

Raise the bar and get rid of this loser.

Jellybean23 · 29/07/2022 21:35

I can see why he's got so many ex's.

Who cares, cut him loose. I wouldn’t give this guy any headspace, I’m sure you can do so much better.

Sartre · 29/07/2022 21:36

I had this with an ex who turned out to be a massive abusive twat. He loved telling me about his ex’s and loved telling me how superior they were to me as time went on too. Ditch.

mamabeeboo · 29/07/2022 21:41

Just because he's 38, doesn't mean he's mature

Lovemusic33 · 29/07/2022 21:43

He has loads of ex’s for a reason. Run and don’t look back.

Totally agree ^^

i really would get rid of him and move on.
when he is telling you these things what do you say in return?

ILikeHotWaterBottles · 29/07/2022 21:52

Well he's still not married for a good reason. Throw this one back, he's not worth it.

He is almost certainly a narcissist. I would end it now.

redcallbluecar · 29/07/2022 22:17

The first time he did it I just brushed it off but now it's every time.

Merryoldgoat · 29/07/2022 22:36

He’s trying to make you think he’s desirable and a ‘catch’.

What he actually is is a douche.

You can do better than this prick.

Tothemoonandbackx · 29/07/2022 22:45

To be blunt, you clearly know it's not right, so just ditch him, you're only going to get the same advice from everyone on here anyway
