9 ish months ago I was seeing somebody I really liked but was being messed around terribly by. I'm talking ghosting after sex repeatedly, blatantly using me for sex but claiming otherwise.. I suspected he had a girlfriend towards the end but didn't have any proof as he "doesn't do social media". (Lies). Champions league wanker behaviour basically.

I thought I was in love with him at the time and it took me months to get over once I finally decided to cut my losses and move on.

I did some work on my self esteem and when he came crawling back months later (a few weeks ago) and text me asking to see me realised I wasn't into him at all so I cheerily replied no thank you, I'm not interested. Yay for me. He said he was gutted bla bla bla. I didn't reply. Forgot all about him.

The other day it was my DD's birthday and I changed my Instagram picture to one of her when she was born. Unbeknownst to me he has been looking at my social media (which I don't have him as a friend on) and he's sent me an inbox this afternoon saying he has seen that picture and is having a meltdown because he thinks I've had a baby recently and wants to know if it's his!

Now obviously I'm not going to let the silly git think he has an actual child but AIBU to blank his message for a few days and let him see how he likes it 😂

I'm starting to think Night409 might be 'the dad' 😉

Between this and the clearly fake but equally hilarious "weed landlady" thread, my night is being totally made right now. It's almost enough to make me join Instagram.

I need to see the weed landlady thread! Do you have a link?

Maybe he thinks he will get a shag for acting daddy?

wouldn’t be be relieved if he had no desire to be involved?

He wouldn't have got in touch in the first place if he was trying to dodge responsibility.

fairymary87 · 15/11/2023 20:47

This is the best thread I've read in a long time 😂😂😂 thanks for the giggles

poppyseed68 · 15/11/2023 20:47

This is genius 😂

LemonLimeDivine · 15/11/2023 20:49

Not read the full thread but just from the opening post I’d let him sweat it for a good few days 🤣

AuntMarch · 15/11/2023 20:54

Unfortunately to take the high road I wouldn't say anything that could be taken as confirmation.... So I probably just wouldn't say anything.

I do really like the "I didn't know you were on social media!" response if you did decide to say anything at all though. I would expect another reply from him and then I'd put him out of his misery before blocking him. Both profiles!

KombuchaKalling · 15/11/2023 20:55

Love it! This has tickled me. Confused by the amount of judgey threads, does no one else post old / cute pictures of their children?

Totaly · 15/11/2023 20:57

OP well done for responding with a sense of humor!

Off to read weed landlady

Livelifelaughter · 15/11/2023 20:59

I salute you

BlackFriYay · 15/11/2023 21:01

Weed landlady is fantastic because of the MNers responses to the thread. It's so ridiculous it's brilliant. I'm going to make a brew and eat half a packet of jaffa cakes and get stuck in 🐸

This is brilliant!! Wonder if he’s got a guilty conscience!

LTBarbara · 15/11/2023 21:06

Just reply asking for his address (for child maintenance). I’m obviously joking before anyone replies and are upset.

Tell him you’ll let him k ow when the first DNA results come through as you are going in alphabetical order.

This is amazing 😂

Loveandloveandlove · 15/11/2023 21:09

Silence is golden 🤣

Hidingplace · 15/11/2023 21:14

Definitely make him wait a while and when you do reply, pretend to miss the question!

That particular posters has posted equally peculiar responses on other threads so take them all with a pinch of salt!

Impolitesociety · 15/11/2023 21:21

Good Lord, some of these responses! I'm so pleased there are so many people in the world who can be so upstanding after being treated like shit. Gold star for you ladies!

OP - don't reply. Honestly why the fuck should you? He absolutely did a number on you and his assumption is absolutely ridiculous. You owe him nothing. Yeah, I probably wouldn't be sending any messages implying you might have had his baby but perfectly reasonable not to bother reply to a man who treated you so badly.

He isn't your problem anymore.
