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.

Excellent! And you updated just in time as I'm off for a bit Grin

So proud of you, sadly. You rock. And that gobshite has a thoroughly miserable life evening ahead of him.

I did like (if I'm allowed to say this since it's about myself but) I did like the

"only the best and you're not it"

perfectly fine to like your own stuff - especially that, it is good Grin

Well done you! Now change your name to HappilyI'mRidOfATossingBellend

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 17:28

Yip it's the same friend. She thinks he's a fuckcuntbastardknobbellend and he deserves all he got.

She also thinks MN is amazing Grin she's been at work and hasn't seen this thread so she's coming round later and I will be showing her and twisting her arm up her back to join as AnnawhothefuckisAnna

I've laughed my head off reading this - good for you. You should be in a self-congratulatory buzz for days and days :o

He won't come around and see her there, will he?

TrinaLuciusMalfoy · 26/08/2011 17:30

This friend you'll be sitting out with: it couldn't possibly be the one who kindly donated the use of her face could it?

AnyFucker · 26/08/2011 17:30

superb thread Smile

nickelbabe · 26/08/2011 17:31

Well done. Grin

now you can get on and enjoy your real life and find a proper bloke who isn't a complete knobend.

TrinaLuciusMalfoy · 26/08/2011 17:31

Gah, x post...

LoveMyGirls · 26/08/2011 17:31

MigratingCoconuts · 26/08/2011 17:32

TheOriginalFAB · 26/08/2011 17:32

Just watch out for feeling sad later, but well done.

giyadas · 26/08/2011 17:32

Grin Yay! v good.
but now what I do?

TaffyandTeenyTaffy · 26/08/2011 17:33

Yay - Go Sadly! Nice work. You have yourself a lovely evening with your friend. Hugs & wine all round!

giyadas · 26/08/2011 17:34

forgot a 'do' in my post
and a Wine for you.

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 17:35

Yes it's the same friend but he won't see the back garden from the front of the house and I intend to just keep him on the doorstep I'm not going to let him in.

Or alternatively when he arrives she can leg it up stairs. He'll see the car though, and I'll be able to say I have a friend round for company and I can't discuss anything with her here.

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 17:35

Maybe we should meet at hers tonight rather than here?

goodasgold · 26/08/2011 17:36

Well done Sadly!

Keep us posted on how he handles this, and how you are doing yourself.

Theala · 26/08/2011 17:37

Might be better. Let him stew.

TartyMcFarty · 26/08/2011 17:38

I dare you to suggest he tries the dating website again - watch him squirm

sadlydoingshineypenguins · 26/08/2011 17:38

Mostly I just feel stupid that I got taken in by Bellend boy and wasted my time on him. And Angry that he thought I was so stupid that I would be and I bet he would regret underestimating me if he knew what the hive mind of the nest of vipers had put him through.

If he knew it wasn't Anna I mean

not explaining myself very well

youarekidding · 26/08/2011 17:38

Yay Go sadly

Wine

You have done brilliantly. Grin

TartyMcFarty · 26/08/2011 17:39

Also might be good to let him glimpse your friend and wonder ... But be unable to ask!
