He called his ex when drunk

My partner went out and had a few too many.
When he got home I heard him on the phone telling someone he thought of them every single day.
He also said he missed them and something about a holiday.
I snooped on his phone this morning and it was his ex.
Aibu to think he still has feelings for her? They split properly 4 months ago but I think things were rocky for a bit before that.

Are you mad woman?

How many dates have you been on?

He’s playing you for a fool.

The question is are you a fool?

Oh come on mate, you cannot seriously be calling someone you've dated longish distance for four months your partner and talking about him moving in. Give your head a wobble. He's still hung up on his ex yes, but that's not the most wrong thing in this situation.

OhComeOnFFS · 06/05/2023 12:12

Financially it makes sense for him to move in with you? You've only known him for four months! Look, you heard him - you don't need more evidence than that. You heard him tell his ex he missed her. Put yourself first here, OP and bin him.

FishChipsMushyPeas · 06/05/2023 12:12

I wouldn't consider moving in with someone after just a few months because it makes financial sense.

How long have you guys actually been together?

confuseddotcom201 · 06/05/2023 12:15

Tbh we've been talking for 6 months but didn't get together until he split with her. I know it sounds bad.

Drunk or not, he still called his ex, telling her he thinks about her every day and possibly a secret holiday on the cards too....wake up OP, he's taking you for a MUG

I guess that answers the question of if you’re an embarrassed fool or not then doesn’t it.

Good luck to you, it started as a shit show and it looks like it’s set to continue in the same manner. I hope it’s only yourself that’s caught up with this drama and there are no children involved.

confuseddotcom201 · 06/05/2023 12:19

Definitely no secret holiday. She won't talk to him.
I think he was talking about one she cancelled.
Do you really think he's using me?
When I'm with him I don't feel used.

But what if it was a drunken mistake? I don't want to lose him over something he did after a few drinks. He genuinely a lovely guy who treats me so well.

In vino veritas.

Darkroot · 06/05/2023 12:19

Oh dear.
The truth comes out after a few drinks.

Doesn’t sound like he’s your ‘partner’ anyway. You’ve been talking for six months (for two of those he was in a relationship, no wonder it was rocky 🙄) and you’re long distance?
I wouldn’t waste my time personally.

confuseddotcom201 · 06/05/2023 12:22

I do have children. He's really good with them. That's why I think he's not using me as he's happy to take my kids on.

OhComeOnFFS · 06/05/2023 12:22

Arrrgh you're going to let some bloke move in with you and your kids because it's better financially?

ARE YOU INSANE?

ChocHotolate · 06/05/2023 12:23

You see him once or twice a month due to distance and have been together for 4 months. So you've seen him no more than 8 times since you have been "official" and you are planning to have him move in?

trevthecat · 06/05/2023 12:23

4 months in, long distance and he's already involved with your kids and looking to move in with them?! Are you mad?

Darkroot · 06/05/2023 12:23

Good god 😫

Utterly ridiculous. Grow up.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 06/05/2023 12:23

How many times have you actually met him?

@confuseddotcom201 hes met your children already?! What on earth are you doing! Protect yourself and your children and do not let this man move in.

FuckKnowsMate · 06/05/2023 12:24

You stupid stupid woman. I’m sorry but it fucking baffles. Seriously, grow up. Don’t care if that’s harsh.

I'm calling BS on this post.

There's no way this is real.

Introduced to kids and moving in after 4 months and a handful of dates 🙈

confuseddotcom201 · 06/05/2023 12:26

I've actually known him over a year and he'd met my kids before. I am friends with his brother.
I know it seems quick but we're good together. Or that's what I thought until I heard him on the phone. He was trying not to cry when he was talking to her.
