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.

Be strong sadly! Its gonna be tough if you see him, coz you'll want to blurt out 'I know what you were up to, do you think i'm stupid?'
The other thing to think about is that he'll be back on the site looking and wondering about Annas profile. Why not get Anna to change what she's looking for in a man. Maybe put 'only honest up to date pictures please, experience tells me that out of date pictures dont fool for long'
Focus on nice nooooo BF. But maybe have a dating break?

Great idea to get Anna to put a bitchy update on her dating profile. Way to twist the knife

Well done. Take care of yourself x

Tell your friend who you want to join MN but says she can't as she's not a mum that loads of us aren't mums! Fair enough i'm currently ttc #1 but i've been a member for 18 months and only ttc 2 months. and she has to be "annawhothefuckisanna"

Good idea re Anna's profile, then take her off altogether in a few weeks.

That's a good idea re Anna's profile on the site I will do that.

Never thought about getting myself checked out (yuk) but we did use condoms as I like a belt and braces approach so I suppose I should be OK but I will be at the doc on Monday morning just to make sure. And that just made me feel really really sleazy

I just hope he never sees this thread. Even if he does come and look for your posts on MN, there's no way he's going to equate his experience with a thread about shiny penguins.

have been following this....you've done really well! Hope you're alright...after this 'commotion' dies down you're bound to feel a bit sad again. Just take care of yourself.

oh, and top idea regarding updating Anna's profile

Briliant

But I would have to let him know that I was Anna.

Raced back from a day out, abandoned the DC with DH and have just caught up. Wow - I was glued to the original Shiney thread over that Easter week-end and have been glued to this. Well done OP (and Anna!).

Don't say you've got a friend round; just say 'someone' and he'll think it's a man. For added effect, make sure you're looking extra-special!

Well done! Amazing thread.

This is just brilliant. My cheeks ache from laughing so much. Well done ShineyPenguin and thanks.

WELL THE FUCK DONE MY GIRL!!!!

I'm so uber proud of you for the DD, Double Dump, and I know that you can only go forwards after experiencing this.

Promise me something......... don't EVER feel bad about what you have done to him. He didn't give you a second thought when arranging to shag meet up with Anna.

You canhold your head up sky high and know that you got the better of him and he will always be none the wiser, assuming that he was just having a bad day.

He WILL persist, especially as Anna dumped him at lunchtime today. I guess he's made no plans with mates to go out, as he assumed he'd be busy.

Sadly - no-one can fault you for what you have done to this wank stain, only applaud you.

I think you are brave and brilliant and long may it last.

Now, get out there and have a brilliant night lovely lady xx

Great post Mouseface

FANFUCKINGTASTIC Sadly Just wonderful!! Will be raising my glass to you and Anna and soon to be MNer AnnaWhoTheFuckIsAnna

Please, for the love of mud, never tell him you're Anna.

I am hoping that researchers in Ireland don't trawl MN as much as they do in the UK, this is just the kind of thing I could see 2fm or Today fm picking up .

Thanks Mardy, loving your name, always have!

More anyone?

all round.

Actually should be pink Bacardi Breezers in honour of Anna

Well done sadly - really pleased you had the balls to do this...only wish I'd had the balls with some of the worthless fuckers in my past!

If he turns up tell him that your glad you met him as it helped you make some serious decisions about your life and that you met the love of your life on another dating site, and her name is Anna....

Sadly, if ever you start to feel sad about this, just think - you had (I presume) a nice nine months with this guy, and when it ended, as these things are wont to do, you showed all and sundry what a stonkingly brilliant don't-mess-with-me MoFo you are. YOU RULE!!!

Just had a drink to celebrate you getting rid of this total knob!

Raising a glass of to you OP -superb!!!
