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 don't have a stripy top, too unflattering

I however have stripy legs after a fake bake disaster, will that do??

Good luck Sadly!

PS. My Bloke does the ironing, so they do exist!!

Has Anna texted him yet?

X-post!

Good luck OP!

Get Anna to check he's THERE before she texts him that she's seen and been put off!

l8 not l8r (I don't do txtspk)

go OP we're sitting in solidarity ignoring our children with you.

You can do it!

Purely a coincidence as he is only 6, but ds2 has just come in and I have seen he is wearing his stripey tshirt .

DD1 is doing the stripes today (would love to say it's solidarity but she chose!)

You'll be grand

Agree that making sure he is there is crucial.

ive got stripey pants on if it helps?

goodluck!

@ your DS FAB

He has replied

"no probs hun lukin 4wd to c'ing u"

If he had dared text me with that I would have dumped him months ago.

Have plonked DS in front of the telly so I can lurk...

OP - really admire the way you can laugh in the face of adversity.

Perhaps text to find out whereabouts he's sitting?

Good idea.

Anna will text "Can you get a table hun so we don't have to mess around when I get there"

PMSL at the textspeak

Urgh! is he trying to get dahn wiv da kidz? How old did you tell him 'Anna' was?

Good luck :)

Definitely resist the urge to even hint at any connection between you and Anna.

If he suspects a link, he may pursue it, uncover the truth, and it will allow him to ignore the implications of Anna dumping him in such a dismissive way.

You'll be glad, with hindsight, to have the satisfaction of knowing that you left him to come to terms with this double-dumping, while you have all the answers and the sense of closure ;)

DS who was watching yogi bear in his room has just very nearly died of shock when he asked if he could eat his lunch in there as the film hasn't finished - and the answer was 'yes of course you can, here take some chocolate too for after, mummy will just finish her work'.

What did twatcunt reply to Anna?

DD watching show me, show me which i hate so i can lurk!

not vtext enough

just where you sittin don't want to be lukin all over 4 u

then he knows it's HIM she's seen no confusion

I am at all the poor neglected children....

He has a table at the back and has menus

sorry x posts I'm too slow!!
