AIBU for attending show with male friend?

I've been started dating this man less than a year ago and he recently proposed.

all was well until I found out he had given out his number to 2 different women on dating sites after he had proposed to me. Living some pictures etc.

when I confronted him he said he forgot to deactivate the account. Then I told him about his recent conversations but he lied and said that he wasn't active even though I had read all their conversations.

He stopped talking to me for a week. I got pissed off and a male friend invited me to see a show with him. Normally I would decline but this time I agreed cos I wanted to go out.

Fiance is now angry with me and acting really pissed.

AIBU to think there was nothing with me going to the show with my friend?

Don't marry him

He sounds horrible. He’s manipulative and cheating on you and jealous and you need to get rid of him.

A friend of mine used to get very frustrated because the partner she had two kids with always uses to go to work far earlier than he needed to and never seemed to want to be around her and kids for long. Turned out he was sleeping with a woman he worked with and the relationship ended badly with years of problems after because of kids being involved. Don't get down a road where this ends up being you OP

I've said UABU simply because you're still with him. You're in for a few years if not life of misery with this loser....
DUMP HIM

EmeraldShamrock000 · 28/06/2025 10:59

Why are you still engaged to him, he's a lying sulking creep, dump him.

Pessismistic · 28/06/2025 15:46

Get out now he wants to control you he will never change he wants you tied down so you can’t go with anybody else and if he’s doing this after his proposal he is already lining up his next victim he’s a liar, a man child and a total twat putting it all on you. Please just text him back say I’m out text your next victim.

He keeps saying that I should fight for us and that's what any smart woman would do. That when we get married what if worse things happen and I can't overcome them.

Ugh! He sounds worse and worse. Bin.

Thanks for all the advice here I keep having to come back and re read cos I need to convince myself I am doing the right thing by walking away dispute him asking me to just forgive and move on from it all.

Ask him what there is to fight for?

He's a toxic cheat.
No one needs a serial cheat messing up their life.

Time to believe whom he has showed himself to you to be.

100% you are doing the right thing to walk away.

Your life with him would not improve in any way. He will not improve. I promise you this.

It does seem that way. He always told me that has usually keeps several women at a time and I was the lucky one who met him when he was actually alone.

He clearly hasn't changed.

I still don’t get why you would have normally declined the invite? It’s absolutely fine to have friends of the opposite sex as long as it’s not secretive and you treat them as a mate.

He is way too jealous to just accept that I would go out with a male friend. He thinks every man is the same. It's funny cos he would go out and not invite me to parties where he female friends would be and I never made a fuss.

Just read that back to yourself, OP.

You deserve a million times better.
