To think he is some kind of Gigolo

Shesellsseashellsatsea · 20/01/2024 13:33

I have been seeing this very handsome man for some time (almost 3 years). Although I have broke it off for a while in-between as I feel he has a sociopathic side to him and not necessarily someone I want to be with long term and I didn't want to waste my time and miss out on meeting someone else.

Anyway it seems hard for us to stay away from each other and end up seeing eachother again. However, he has made a very bad financial decision that is going to cost him a lot of money. I spoke to him about this when he told me about it but he was undenial. However, he now realises and is trying to get out of it.

Now back to the point - he knows that I do not want to sleep with him if he is sleeping with anyone else and he has always been fine with it. However, recently he told me he wants to end it which made me think he is sleeping with someone else. An older lady who with is not hurting financially has flirted with him for many years but he has never given in to her. Up until now. I can't say the evidence I have as it would be outing.

I have only recently found out about this and he has been calling me and messaging (he doesn't know that I know about it). My gut is telling me that he is going to use this woman for financial gain some how and he is playing on her attraction to him and as soon as he's gotten out of his "mess" he will drop like a hot sack of spuds. All the while trying to keep me there.

My gut is never been wrong especially when it comes to him.

Jesus Christ, the bar some women set for themselves is so low an ant would have trouble crawling under it! 🤦‍♀️

Sociopathic tendencies/financial disaster/sleeping with other women and possibly extorting money from them! Definitely a prince among men 👍

Calling him a 'gigolo' is really romanticising what you think he is doing, which is basically scamming someone.

Are you a little jealous his attention is elsewhere?

Jook · 20/01/2024 16:05

Hmmm wondering if OP has given this guy any money!

This really made me laugh. I know that wasn't your intent but yes when you put it like that.

This man is actually seen as some kind of "hero" to many ( you know how it goes). How he made such a horrific financial decision, I will never know.

What’s your question exactly?

declutteringmymind · 20/01/2024 16:17

Either move on or confront him with it. Just message him. How the gigolo life? Heard you've got with xxxx? And see what he responds with.

Shesellsseashellsatsea · 20/01/2024 16:17

@Jook

No not one penny I can assure you. He has never asked me for money nor has he ever hinted. Whenever we have been out he has always insisted on paying.
I think some people can sense who they can swindle and who they can't.

This woman has held on to his every whim since day dot and I think he is now using this as an opportunity for his gain and of course she will be delighted. Until she finds out his true intentions in which case will likely be too late. He is VERY good at what he does let's just say.

Why would you want to be with a man who has such low morals that he would deceive a wealthy woman into supporting him? That's reprehensible! Bin him; he's not worth your or anyone else's time.

Yup! And ugh!

So glad to hear it. He sounds like a wrong’un to me, I’d swerve him.

sounds Like your relationship if that what it is/was is nothing more than friends with benefits

lazarusb · 20/01/2024 19:43

You know what he is. Maybe she does too. In your shoes I would just send one short, final message saying you're not interested from now on and then block him. Unless you are willing to take him back in due course...

Shesellsseashellsatsea · 20/01/2024 19:43

@rwalker not sure if you've read the the thread but if we was or were that is not the point here.

I've had a thing with this man too OP. 😂
Honestly. You'll give yourself a moral injury if you keep entertaining this tool. He's good looking and fun and all those other things. He is however; not real.

We can't speculate on the older lady as you call her
