I posted the other day that I was dumped by text after seven months on the way home from a long haul flight.

He sent me a message saying how depressed he was and he can't match me blah blah making himself the victim. Then immediately blocked me from everything social media.

I've had a sneaky look at his twitter where I'm not blocked cos he didn't know I have an account. We were dating for six months seeing each other three times a weekish. On his twitter, I've seen references to his gf with photos as late as 8 weeks ago, four months into when we started dating and around the time we made things "official". How the fuck do people do this? How do you have time to keep a girlfriend and piece on the side you have seen every other day?! I feel so stunned and don't know how people compartmentalise this.

He said so much about our future and I really can't understand what kind of psycho does this. The day before my kid and I went on holiday, he told me how much he loved me and he wants to be a unit with us. He dropped us at the airport then dumped me five days later. How!!

Really just after advice and support right now. I've met shitty men but never duplicitous men who lead double lives.

Just be glad you only wasted 7 months of your life on this loser. Is the new girlfriend tagged in his posts, because if you can contact her I'd let her know just how much of a cheating scumbag he is before she gets in any deeper.

The gf referenced in his pics is his last gf he was with for 5 years. I would be so sympathetic if he came to me and said "I met up with x and we realise we're not actually done etc etc". I could understand it but I'd be gutted

Shop him, what a piece of shit he is and she deserved to know

dillydal · 11/08/2024 18:32

I would but she probably knows surely

Why would she know. I bet he's kept you a secret

RunningThroughMyHead · 11/08/2024 18:35

I doubt she knows. You were both likely played. I'd be screaming from the rooftops, don't let him get away with it!

dillydal · 11/08/2024 18:39

Thanks all. I feel like such a dickhead. How can you see someone three times a week and maintain a "proper relationship" with someone. I was always one of those who said "I'd always realise". Turns I wasn't

@dillydal

im sorry the scumbag did that to you. 7 months isn't really very long, but feels like a long time because you put so much of yourself into it.

you're not the dickhead here!

definitely tell his gf, you've no reason to assume she knows, you didn't!!

plan lovely things with DS & friends, don't waste the rest of the summer!!

LilBowWow · 11/08/2024 18:45

Only one thing to do. Move on and don’t spend any more time thinking about him. Don’t look for answers or revenge, just forget him.

dillydal · 11/08/2024 18:56

True just hoped for some helpful comments etc

Ok, fake to til you make it. Go out more, see your friends, take up a hobby that scares you a little. Pretend you’re living your best life. Whatever you do don’t contact him again. He’s the enemy.

dillydal · 11/08/2024 19:08

"he's the enemy" I spat my tea out. He is that

I was ghosted after 7 months and just coming back from a holiday together, it was a LDR and I’m sure he had someone else! This was a 55 year old policeman too 🙈

Anyone gone through this? What to do

Not to the extent with the cheating but I was also dumped by message on a flight back from holiday. He sent the message whilst I was flying and when I landed, i switched on my phone to message him to say I landed because he asked me to let him know and then I read his message to say it wasn't working and found out I was blocked on everything after responding ??? It hurt like hell and he was a bf of 9 months and still to this day I don't know why and maybe there was someone else as I saw him on tinder later but then I've moved on, and now happily married with 2 kids to a man who he could never ever match in a million years. Everything happens for a reason op.
