Name changed for this post !

My ex DP and I have been in a situationship for numerous years, he's recently moved back to his parents house and stays with me on weekends which suits me.

During the last few years , he's been happy for us to live as a family we've helped each other out financially/emotionally but he's been sneakily (I don't have an issue with the for the record it's the lies that irritate me!) Sleeping with other women etc anyway we carried on as we were as I felt no point arguing as we weren't in a relationship

Anyway, fast forward to this week, there has been a huge shift in energy, messages left unread, no calls, I recognise these signs so under no illusion their is a new female on the seen again fine I'm not bothered

My AIBU is I have recently applied and been accepted for car finance for a vehicle for him (long story) and them sat me down on Saturday evening and proceeded to list every single thing I did in the past when we were together that he has now decided he is angry about and can't see past? My worry now is that if I go ahead with the replacement vehicle I will be shafted and left with the repayments at some point , so AIBU to cancel based on his behaviour towards me? Side note we also have DC so he said by having a vehicle he can see them more frequently

his parents have said they won't facilitate contact as too much for them

So, his parents are bailing out on him too now OP. Tells you all you need to know. He's a user.

All blocked, he doesn't know when he can have the kids next as his parents have said they won't facilitate contact as too much for them

Well done OP - great update.

Remember what a PP advised upthread - it's up to HIM to facilitate contact.
Don't let him use how "difficult it is for me" as a Hoovering technique to start manipulating you again.

Why is it taking everything I have in me to not message him - I know I wouldn't gain anything from doing so but I wonder who he thinks he is treating people like toys 😪
