To think men are insane??

Recently split up with my DP he's currently desperately messaging as many women as he can.

A few weeks ago I thought why don’t I try a dating app myself only really out of boredom I got a lot of messages but didn't really want to speak to anyone so deleted my profile after 2 days but one of his friends seen my profile and sent it to him and now he constantly mentions it.

We are unfortunately still living together until our sale completes on our house but I think it's completely unreasonable to care about what I do when he's doing the same thing. I've walked in my front door to him on the phone with women and he's literally taken my car out at midnight to meet women all of which I don't really care about as I fell out of love with him a long time ago.

Tell him to fuck off, it's none of his business who you date.

My ex-Husband was the same. We split up because I found out he was having multiple affairs. A year later I started seeing someone else and he was slagging me off to all and sundry for moving on so fast and ‘disrespecting our marriage’. Seriously????!!!!!

No men are not insane. Your ex-DP certainly is.

DillDanding · 16/01/2024 19:46

Men are not insane. You’ve ended up with a sleaze, that’s all.

PossumintheHouse · 16/01/2024 19:46

I’d smile and say nothing. Don’t get into a conversation about it, don’t mention his antics.

MillicentRogers · 16/01/2024 19:47

Not all men. He sounds pathetic so concentrate on the future when you'll be well shot of him.

Greenhouse12 · 16/01/2024 20:35

@DillDanding thank you I suppose that was my real question if this is all men. Honestly makes me never want to date or at the very least live with another again!

@Popadomorbread that sounds exactly what he would do too!

If men are so insane why are you desperate to find one?

How rude. The OP has said nothing to suggest she's desperate to find a man.

I think people should wait until they are living separately before they start dating again. I feel it's a little bit sordid and disrespectful.

Not nice for the kids either.

So the answer to the OPs question is no, it's not ok. Never ever do something just because someone else is.

OK, not 'desperate', but clearly interested.

Is 2024 officially the Year of the Massive Generalisation ?

So many threads where the OP wants to tell us about one person and asks if older people or MiLs or in this case men are ALL {insert characteristic}

Obviously, the answer is no.
Everyone is an individual.
