I'm such an idiot

I went out with friends a few weeks agofor the first time since my breakup. I was on my own while they were dancing, this guy was being sweet to me and buying me drinks. He seemed like such a sweetheart. We went back to mine and slept together.

The next morning he initiated sex again, we then had breakfast and he left. My housemate left to go to wales, said she needed to speak to me.

He kept messaging me, just normal stuff like how he enjoyed spending time with me, cuddling was nice, how we can see each other again and watch some films. I asked if he wanted to go on a date, he said yes he'd look forward to it.

He seemed to really like me.

Anyway my housemate got back today and she told me while we were upstairs having sex, his phone kept ringing. She went to silence it and saw lots of missed calls on the Home Screen from a woman. She then saw a message from his friend calling me an easy slag.

She went through his messages (bad I know) and his friend is calling me easy; saying he will sleep with me next week. The man I'm sleeping with is laughing along. Meanwhile he's then telling a woman (the one who kept calling) that I am ugly, he doesn't like me but I'm easy even if the sex is shit. He's apologising to her (she must be his wife) and at the same time saying it's her fault he slept with me because he can't have her????!!!

I feel so stupid.

If I'm that ugly and rubbish in bed why was he sleeping with me again and sending nice messages about wanting to spend time together etc?

He seemed so nice and honest.

Why am I so stupid

OP what he said is all a load of bollocks and banter made up for whatever purpose. It doesn't matter. Block his number and put it all behind you.

Put this down to live and learn and don't do casual sex until you're stronger and more confident in yourself again.

If he messages you again just say you had a nice enough night but didn’t feel there was much chemistry between you and you’d rather leave it at the one time thanks.

Laiste · 06/02/2024 21:47

@OhmygodDont hmmm. I recon a guy like that will always go back for more while he's there and it's on a plate.

They're just dick led.

custardlover · 06/02/2024 21:50

He broke up with his wife at Christmas?

They don’t tend to admit it though if they 😂

SwordToFlamethrower · 06/02/2024 21:53

You're the victim of a fuck boy.

Turn this around!

"HE was an easy lay. Really shit in bed, came in his hand before he could initiate full sex and only just managed it the next morning!! His dick was tiny and the best thing about the night was the free drinks"

Laugh, block and delete.

Laiste · 06/02/2024 21:53

ExtraOnions · 06/02/2024 21:54

It doesn’t really matter what he thinks. It was a casual fuck, you’re not marrying him.
Ignore him & move on

ChihuahuasREvil · 06/02/2024 21:54

It’s not stupid to expect people to act in the same spirit of good faith as you act towards them. It’s not that you’re stupid, it’s that he’s a nasty Cunt. I’d get a sexual health check though if there’s any possibility you might of caught something nasty off the prick.

Pretty much this!

Hiddenvoice · 06/02/2024 21:55

Sorry it seems so weird. No offence to your friend but I find it strange that she would go through someone else’s phone because she heard it ringing.
The messages to his friend are awful and I wouldn’t forgive that.
The messages to his ‘wife’ seem weirdly timed if i’m honest.
Personally I would just block him and not give him another thought. Hes messing you around, even if what he’s saying to you is genuine, he’s still talking to another woman and being rude about you. This says more about him as a person than you!

YoureALizardHarry11 · 06/02/2024 21:56

Sounds to me as if he’s playing up to his friends, OP. People do. Either way, dump him. Don’t let this saddos words make you believe you’re worthless.

Sidebeforeself · 06/02/2024 21:57

Did you actually see these messages? It’s a very odd thing for your friend to do

YoureALizardHarry11 · 06/02/2024 21:58

Or alternatively, is it your housemate telling you she seen these messages and told you all about them as a way to make you feel like shit? Is she jealous of you? Have you seen these messages with your own eyes?

Wictc · 06/02/2024 21:59

Omg, get the hell out of your house. If a housemate of mine went through a guest’s phone that would be the end. Your flatmate is absolutely nuts and you can’t trust a word they say.

PickledMuffin · 06/02/2024 22:00

OP, he's not worth your time. Block him, you're worth more than that piece of shit. Sending a hug O

TwylaSands · 06/02/2024 22:02

Youre only stupid if you carry on seeing him now you know he is a scum bag.

AllEars112232 · 06/02/2024 21:19

How did he write all those messages to his “wife” if he was having sex upstairs and his phone was downstairs.
And who has a phone with no security lock?

Are you sure your housemate was telling you the truth?

My first thought!

WinterFaye2 · 06/02/2024 22:42

Aw bless you, you certainly aren’t an idiot.

If you really trust what your housemate has said, you have a choice to make. Would you feel better just blocking him or giving his ego a dent before you block him.

Hermittrismegistus · 06/02/2024 22:54

bathtimep · 06/02/2024 21:26

He doesn't have a security lock I know that. He was messaging the friend while we were in the pub.. she doesn't know him at all. The whole time he's talking to me in the pub he's messaging laughing at me. It's so evil. My housemate took a photo of one of the messages, which she said wasn't the worst of it.

Am I really ugly and bad in bed? Why would he sleep with me again then? Or is he just an evil person

It's incredibly easy to make fake message conversations. Takes a couple of seconds using a free app.

Livelovebehappy · 06/02/2024 23:11

Janetime · 06/02/2024 21:33

So he’s texting about how shit the sex is, how ugly you are, laughing along. But his phone is downstairs, your mate is reading the messages, and he’s upstairs with you, how’s he managed that then, does he communicate with his phone by mind control?

Op has already said the messaging was happening whilst in the pub before they went to hers, and the messages then read by the house mate later…..

determinedtomakethiswork · 06/02/2024 23:19

If I were your friend I would've called you even though I knew you were having sex at the time and I would've said something loudly so that the man heard, that he'd been saying horrible things about you. And I would've thrown his phone into the front garden as well.

Delphiniumandlupins · 07/02/2024 00:01

You were vulnerable post break up. You can have casual sex with people you have just met if you want but maybe you need to be a wee bit more discerning or get thicker skinned. This guy is a nasty immature tosser and a liar so don't base your evaluation of your looks or prowess in bed on what he told his mates. Just tell yourself you're out of his league and move on - remember to keep yourself safe.

Newsenmum · 07/02/2024 00:02

bathtimep · 06/02/2024 21:41

Sorry the way I worded it. It was the second time we were having sex. So he already knew how "bad" I was

You know you’re not bad or he wouldn’t have wanted to keep doing it!

No. Stop second guessing yourself. He thinks he’s funny and looks ‘big’ by acting like an arse with his friends.

Important thing now is how you deal with it.
