You're right, I would end up looking like the deranged ex, and I know he has peddled this image of me to his new g/f's before, so it's likely he will do the same this time.
He is a creature of habit it seems.
In the last 7 years, he has had 4 relationships.
Relationship 1 - Was a total cocklodger, stole her cash and jewellery to pawn, always lied and denied it, drove her car, lived at her address, where he ran up huge bills, obviously in her name, rarely paid for anything, and her DC hated him, left her in debt up to her eyeballs, his parents hated her.
Relationship 2 (Me )- Again, paid hardly any bills, stole money from DS, myself, stole goods from me, DS, left me numerous times for Ex No1, drove my car into the ground, got me into debt to the tune of £11K, lots of EA, punched me whilst pregnant, we had a DD, whom he stole from too, left alone sleeping at 6 months old while he popped to local corner shop, ran up huge phone bills, applied for loans from my address, then took DD to his mother's house, so as to blackmail me into resuming my relationship with him, by refusing to return her until I agreed to take him back too. He claimed to be the victim of my apparent mood swings to his family, told them I refuse to allow him to see DD, and generally made me out to be awful to them. Consequently, his family have made no effort to see DD in a year now, citing being too busy as their reason. (Yes, I got DD back through the courts, in fact XP agreed to return DD amicably before the hearing, although he tells everyone he was forced to give DD back since he didn't have a place of his own), has provided DD with virtually nothing since she was born, although he was the driving force behind having DD.
Has attempted to kick in my back door, broken into my house through an unsecure window, the list goes on and on.
Relationship 3 - Lasted 4 months, during which time he stole her DC's money and jewellery to pawn for cash, claimed he hadn't been paid from his job, so as to avoid contributing to any household bills, but this was a wise lady, and she reported him to the police. XP was taken to court.
Relationship 4 - Stole her money, and her DC's PS3 to pawn. Pawned her jewellery.
He eats others food, smokes their cigs, lives rent free, bill free, steals every penny you or your DC have, or anything valuable, treats you like dirt, and slags off all his ex g/f's.
He's even stolen from his now ex best friend since childhood, his own mother, his nan, in fact there is no one he hsn't lied to or stolen from.
He lies about the most pointless things too.
Ahhhhhh, feels better for that, thanks.
Only wish I could put a big tattoo on his forehead warning other women not to trust him. It would save alot of heartache.
