New guy I am dating seems jealous of my male friends

SharpOliveViewer · 09/11/2024 18:04

  • I have recently been dating someone for the past month and a half months. He keeps telling me just wants to be friends but then starts acting insanely jealous accusing me of speaking to multiple men hence this being the reason why he just wants to be friends.
  • Last night I was my male friend he started to ignore my messages because of this. My friend is gay next minute I’m getting about ten separate messages calling me a slag, I’m just the same as everyone else. To go and f myself, he’s been calling me a gremlin and to look at the state of my self. I have tried to explain that my friend is gay and it is nothing like that. But now he is point blank ignoring me.
  • i have now blocked him as I don’t want to speak to if I’m being insulted. I’m unsure what to do. I think he’s drunk tbh

You've blocked him
Keep it that way
That's all there is to do

Catza · 09/11/2024 18:06

It's very considerate of him to wave his big red flag so early in the relationship. What's your AIBU?

Sparklfairy · 09/11/2024 18:06

I’m unsure what to do.

You've already done it. Keep him blocked. He sounds nuts.

19lottie82 · 09/11/2024 18:06

Oh my god. Run, run far away and don’t look back. Please.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 09/11/2024 18:06

You're wondering what to do?? Keep him blocked permanently. Obviously.

Changeyourfuckingcar · 09/11/2024 18:07

How the fuck are you unsure what to do?! Obviously stop seeing him, he’s a prick. He’s making it crystal clear for you too, you’d be such a fool to overlook this.

Trickabrick · 09/11/2024 18:07

It’s worrying that you’re unsure what to do given the level of abuse you’re on the receiving end of!

Powderblue1 · 09/11/2024 18:07

Please don't be unsure what to do. This is a huge red flag! 🚩

It wouldn't matter if your friend isn't gay, my best friend is male and we spend loads of time together and my DH love him.

He shouldn't speak to you that way, ever! Run for the hills.

ManhattanPopcorn · 09/11/2024 18:08

Keep him blocked.
Never contact him again.
He's dangerous.

Polyp0 · 09/11/2024 18:08

I voted YABU because you seem to be asking if his behaviour is unacceptable, whereas the fact he is irrationally jealous is as nothing to calling you a slag.

GreyCarpet · 09/11/2024 18:08

Leave him blocked. That's what you do.

Why? What do you think you should do?

Beamur · 09/11/2024 18:09

Block him.
Bullet dodged.
Seriously - if any man called me a slag he'd be dropped so fast. Don't for a minute put up with shit like this.

DriedHydrangeas · 09/11/2024 18:09

Why would you even engage with someone who has repeatedly called you names? Your good longterm friends will be there when people like this disappointing and unpleasant man will be a distant memory.

imustbeanidiot · 09/11/2024 18:10

You'ré unsure what to do? Jesus wept.

You've blocked him, so keep it like that, and do not engage with him ever again.

He's showed you exactly who he is, believe him!

Noseybookworm · 09/11/2024 20:25

What are you unsure about? Please don't ever speak to this arsehole ever again 🙄

CoCoNoDough · 09/11/2024 20:28

Keep him blocked. Reflect on why you kept dating him despite him saying he wants to be friends.

R053 · 09/11/2024 20:29

He sounds a nightmare! Probably many women before you have already binned him off so don’t pick this man.

canyouletthedogoutplease · 09/11/2024 20:30

In what way are you unsure about what to do?

Are you trying to decide if you want a boyfriend that calls you a slag, a gremlin and tells you to fuck yourself?

You either do, in which case you know where to find one, or you don't, in which case keep him blocked and don't look back.

BellissimoGecko · 09/11/2024 20:45

He's insane. More red flags than you can shake a stick at.

Keep him blocked.

gamerchick · 09/11/2024 20:51

Dude, just be thankful he's shown his colours this early on. He's a dick, throw him back. Keep him blocked.

FluffyRabbitGal · 09/11/2024 20:52

Run. Fast. Under no circumstances do you allow yourself to be pulled in to his nonsense. The red flags he is waving can be seen from space!

Sarahconnor1 · 09/11/2024 20:58

More red flags than a jubilee party.

Do not spend a minute more of your time on this controlling prick

Zanatdy · 09/11/2024 21:01

What to do? Just keep him blocked. Why would you want to date someone like that?

ThisZippyDenimGoose · 09/11/2024 21:03

He’d do this all the time if you were together and you would be miserable. He doesn’t sound like a happy, secure person and that’s sad for him but you really don’t want to get dragged into this. Run!

DamselinDistress24 · 10/11/2024 07:58

It's very handy that he's showing himself to be fucking mental so early.

They usually try to hide it for longer. But he's clearly too extreme to even manage that.

"Just like everyone else".
Yeah I'm sure everyone else is the problem, not him.
