As the name suggests, I am sadly (but not that sadly) doing a shiney penguin....

[sadlydoingshineypenguins]

Quick potted history. With boyfriend 9 months. Not that serious but we had had the exclusive talk. Met on a dating site.

About a month ago had a feeling something wasn't right. Few nights he was supposed to be here and cancelled for dopey reasons that set my spidey sense tingling.

Looked on the dating site and lo and beholdy there is was, active, having logged in in the last 24 hours.

But I am not as stupid as he thinks I am.

I set up a profile called thisblokeliesandcheats (it's been taken down) with all his details except photo and spelled out what he'd done (thanks whoever that was who suggested that one) and I will probably do it again

At this point he's said he's coming here Thursday night to stop for the weekend (he doesn't work Friday)

BUT he has also arranged to meet "Anna" off the dating site at a lovely new restaurant for lunch on the Friday about an hour away from here (half an hour from his house)

Obviously, I am Anna.

So, how long do I keep this going. My teeth are itching I want to tell him so much

Am also a little upset, but I had nothing invested in the relationship, so my pride has taken a hit and I feel a bit of a mug but other than that am grand.

I vote for dumping him after he's been stood up as well.

Maximum impact - good luck!

Am going to dump him after Anna dumps him.

Anna is going to be late, then decide that she thought he was punching above his weight and he's overweight and old and she didn't like the look of him.

He's texted me again to ask am I alright because I'm quiet - I texted back to say yes just feeling fragile. He says he'll be round about 3 and he can cheer me up - no chance

sitting here in my stripey top. good luck, hope it all turns out crushing for bastardboy cuntmonkey well for you.

Marking place. Good luck!

He'll be round at 3 and he's meetin anna at 1:30? Has the man no shame?

Stripey top here too!

DD and i both in stripes to show solidarity. We are going to soft play this afternoon, can't wait to see how many mums are wearing stripes!

he's meeting Anna at 1

And around 3 could mean 3.30 - 4pm with him especially on a day off.

Anna is going to text him at 12.55 to say she's running late, then dump at around 1.30

And after that I'll keep all you stripey people posted

Wish I had a stripy top :) am wearing my imaginary one in solidarity :)

I have just shamelessly sat and read this whole thread.

I have changed into my stripy top.

I am just about to make lunch (DS is starving but has waited while I finish this important work!)

Then I shall eat it and enjoy watching cockmunster get what he deserves.

I'm sorry sadly this has happened to you and even more sorrier that I have PMSL @ this thread. MNers really are great as a collective bunch.

Am also in stripey top

Think Anna should send him a link to this thread afterwards!

Got my stripy top here too. Cheering you on, OP

Good for you, sadly. You're striking a blow for all women who've suffered at the hands of lying, cheating, two-timing low-lifes - my lovely sis and SIL to name but two!

Have rooted out grotty, paint-spattered stripy top I use for DIY - solidarity more important than vanity just now!

at you all in stripey tops

getting nervous

I don't have a stripey top!!! I'm wearing an imaginary one.

Good luck Sadly, and wish I could see his face when he realises he has been dumped TWICE in the one day! what a loser....

I cannot wear a stripey top as I am currently a podge, but good luck OP. And dont feel too bad, we've all been taken in by selfish people at some point.

He is a shocking bellend, and is about to get a smack in the face from karma

I'm getting nervous for you, sadly!

Good luck!

sadly, you have a good plan. Everything will be fine. You will feel flat and sad when it is over but your decent guy is on his way. He just stopped to rescue a kitten stuck up a tree. :)

You are going to be poised and perfect. Stay relaxed! Anna will text 'heya hun! runnin ten mins l8. You alreddy there? xx'

He will text YES.

The will come the death-blow. Mwah hah hah.....

Checking in again in my virtual stripy top. Also nervous for you!

Adding my voice of support to the many.

[prays MN doesn't crash/go offline for "updates" before the conclusion]

Right. Anna just texted him and said "going 2 b a bit l8r soz babes xxx"
