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.

What Thumb said.

SuePurblybilt · 26/08/2011 16:03

Noooooooo. I agree no mention of Anna. But I think he'll smell a rat if she really puts the boot in out of nowhere.

Loshad · 26/08/2011 16:04

echo Thumb, no mention of Anna, and definately don't pretend you fancy her - lets him off the hook re his ego if he thinks you prefer women.

'It's not me, it's you'

I love the idea of a singing telegram (dressed up as leprichauns - Irish theme!)

Oh X, I wrote you a song,
it's over between us,
Your all wrong.

It's not me, it's you dontcha know,
we would never work
your too slow.

I'm moving on and you should too,
there are plenty of others
for you to woo.

I want someone better, whose less minging,
and I hope you enjoyed
all this singing. Grin

No sneaky Anna references, definitely! He needs to go away thinking he's been dumped twice, not once!

youarekidding · 26/08/2011 16:08

He needs to go away thinking he's been dumped twice, not once! That's a definate example of needs NOT wants. Wink

HeidiHole · 26/08/2011 16:10

I'm another one wondering if after a 9 month relationship he'll accept being dumped by text? Will he not come to your house to have a face-to-face?

You need to mentally prepare yourself for him turning up, and you having to repeat "I don't want to be with you, I don't have feelings for you, there is no chance of a future with us" over and over.

If it was me i'd not be fobbed off by text after 9 months! Although maybe he'll just move onto the next victim women without blinking?!

Cocksnorting wankstain.

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 16:11

No pressure or anything but it's 01:10 now and I do really need to go to bed but I don't want to miss it - pulllleeeeeeeeezze do it now! [begging]

warthog · 26/08/2011 16:11

omg that was brilliant!

had tears in my eyes reading the txtspk msgs. absolutely brilliant!

well done sadly!

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 16:12

Heidi (great name, btw) - OP won't be there, she said she was going to a friend's just in case he did turn up at hers. Which might be why she's not posting on here too...

Mouseface · 26/08/2011 16:18

I'm hoping she's out in case he does just show and I'm also think that he'll want more than a text explanation as to the dumping after 9 months.

HeidiHole · 26/08/2011 16:21

ooh thank you thumbwitch oh yes of course, forgot she was at her friend's house. Well I hope she comes home soon to update!

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 16:24

Thank you mouseface!

cheesesarnie · 26/08/2011 16:28

ive just caught up after swimming!
how i love mn!i seriously heart you op(and anna).

lubeybooby · 26/08/2011 16:30

Place marking again. I love the moral highground suggestion from SuePurblyBilt

theyoungvisiter · 26/08/2011 16:31

Yes I agree really - better to leave Anna out of it - just the temptation to give him a WTF? moment would be too strong for me! Also I am a rubbish liar and would blurt it out anyway.

I agree he might not accept being dumped by text - and the OP can't live at her friend's house forever.

But maybe slamming the door in his face will be good therapy Grin

Thumbwitch · 26/08/2011 16:47

:(
I really have to go to bed now, despite mouseface's kind offerings - I will catch up in several hours time and hope it was a stunningly successful dumping!

G'night all - cheer her on for me :)

Eglu · 26/08/2011 16:50

I saw this thread yesterday. Well done OP for giving this loser his comeuppance. What a shame you have wasted 9 months of your life on him.

Can't wait for you to dump him.

Also need to say I love MN. Grin

SemperUbiSubUbi · 26/08/2011 16:51

Could you say youre going round to a mates, shes upset as she just went to meet some guy and he wasnt as good looking as she was expecting?

MigratingCoconuts · 26/08/2011 16:55

ouch!

I am loving the fact that the twunt will have been dumped by the same two women in one day Grin

nickelbabe · 26/08/2011 17:00

fab.
well done, OP

I can't wait to see what happens next.
hope you're having a great afternoon without Twuntbags ruining it.

:)

Fimbo · 26/08/2011 17:00

Let him come round, cozy up to him and then say you think you and he would make beautiful children together, you like Anna for a girl.....

treesinthebreeze · 26/08/2011 17:04

Argh, we're going away....I NEEEEEED to know how the second dumping goes Argh!

Clarabumps · 26/08/2011 17:08

This has been the most entertaining thread in a long time! just marking my place for L8rz!
I'd just say that he just wasn't doing it for you anymore and think the sexual spark has gone..
Ultimate male insult!!

GlaikitFizzog · 26/08/2011 17:11

Come on Sadly!!! I'm not allowed to MN on a Friday night and DH is home in less than a hour!!

Can't believe we didn't check if Sadly had 'tinternet on her phone before allowing her to go she went out.
