To wonder why he’s messaging me again

I spoke to a guy for quite some time but then he met somebody and they moved out and had a baby together. The baby is now 9 months old and him and his partner have had a falling out and his partner has moved out a couple of weeks ago. He is now trying to message me again. What would you do?

Block and delete.

HappyHamsters · 10/01/2024 14:19

Block him and ignore, not your problem.

GoingToBeLessRubbishAtLife · 10/01/2024 14:19

Nothing.

Did you ever meet him? You say you were speaking, was that all?

BitOutOfPractice · 10/01/2024 14:20

To wonder why he’s messaging me again: he wants sex

What would you do? Block and delete

Showmethefood · 10/01/2024 14:20

Agree with MumDiva99 - you should block and delete. Show some respect for yourself.

MKeegs · 10/01/2024 14:21

He wants a shag
Either reply or ignore

Londonrach1 · 10/01/2024 14:22

Block him. He wants sex.

ManateeFair · 10/01/2024 14:22

Have some self-respect and block him. He's using you.

CheshireDing · 10/01/2024 14:22

I wouldn’t want to be the rebound person, and he has a baby.

sod that !

LightSwerve · 10/01/2024 14:25

Block and delete.

PossumintheHouse · 10/01/2024 14:26

Sound the klaxon - you’re the rebound. Don’t reply. Or stop replying, if you’ve already fallen for it.

Consideringachange2023 · 10/01/2024 14:27

I’d block him, he’s bored, lonely and looking for an ego stroke at best and some gross sexting at worst

Latenightreader · 10/01/2024 14:29

Agree with the others - he wants rebound sex, and possibly somewhere to stay...

HappyHamsters · 10/01/2024 14:46

Is that you becky?

KissTheRains · 10/01/2024 14:56

Tell him to get fucked.

SkaneTos · 10/01/2024 15:01

Do you want to be a stepmother to his baby?

Block him.

BizzyMcWhizzFace · 10/01/2024 15:03

Delete and block.

You're better than someone's back up.

p1ppyL0ngstocking · 10/01/2024 15:05

You're a booty call, that's why.

brainworms · 10/01/2024 15:10

Block block blockity block

SouthEastCoast · 10/01/2024 15:11

Ignore. Men ALWAYS come back and never for the right reasons

MILTOBE · 10/01/2024 15:14

He didn't wait long, did he? I wonder how many exes he contacted before you?

His ex escaped. You had a narrow escape before. Run as fast as you can now.

And don't feel flattered that he got in touch. He was being lazy - your contact details were still in his phone.

MaggieNextDoor · 10/01/2024 15:15

He's after a FWB situation. Don't respond.

OlympicProcrastinator · 10/01/2024 15:18

I’d have some dignity and self respect and block him.

In the nicest way OP are you REALLY wondering why he’s messaging you? You are a back up option, sloppy seconds, whatever (to him) and now his first choice has gone he is looking for someone vulnerable with no self respect to fuck until someone better comes along.

Don’t be anyone’s back up plan.
