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

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 Grin

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.

On a serious note, I know that this thread is taking up your time atm, but when it all ends, Please dont feel shit about him , as he is not worth it. Despite any circumstances it is shit when you split from someone you have invested yourself in, so make sure you take care of yourself.

Wonder what he's thinking right now!

LittlePickleHead · 26/08/2011 13:38

Oh my god not posted before but glued - also stressed about the table thing - what if he thinks you have seen the wrong guy because he's not by the window???

TartyMcFarty · 26/08/2011 13:38

Ooh, he's getting crushed right now!

ReadyToDrink · 26/08/2011 13:38

Woah, huge cross-post! Grin

Next will be a message of affection to you, sadly. Don't get your phones/personae muddled!

Y'know, it's threads like this that make nasty misogynistic twunts hate MN.

The thought that some cheating knobchops might get trolled right back by a swarm of anonymous women...the horror!

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 13:40

Hope you took the window bit out!

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:40

It's not that big of a restaurant and there's a HUGE window - I would have seen him if I'd walked past.

Actually wish I'd had the guts to go there now

TobyLeWolef · 26/08/2011 13:41

I'd have gone there. But what's done is done.

saffronwblue · 26/08/2011 13:41

Anna has become quite real to me - I'm starting to think that she has been a bit hasty and they might be good together?

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 13:41

"Wot?"

Squeeeeee

EudoraTheExplorer · 26/08/2011 13:41

After you dump him too how long do you think it'll be until he starts to realise that 'Anna' may not be all she seemed?!

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 26/08/2011 13:41

CocktailMumma · 26/08/2011 13:41

Wonder if he is feeling an old fat Twat right now!

I expect he might text you in a mo to tell you he is on his way - YOU not Anna!

PRICK!!

LittlePickleHead · 26/08/2011 13:41

Now reply with the second text!
