Don't know where to start really without this being very long, and very dull Grin

I've been seeing someone for the last few months - it has been very intense from the start, and I fell for him quickly.

The children have met him and spent some time with him, I've met his mum and dad, and it has been a relationship that I will never forget.

But by god has he fucked me about. He's finished it a couple of times, freaked out about being in a relationship, asked me to move in, changed his mind, and generally behaved like a bit of a cunt, to be honest.

I've kept going back though. I really thought it would work, I thought we were perfect together, which is why I couldn't accept that he's a dick.

Last night, I had to take ds to A & E because he cut his head open and had to be glued back together. Not once did my 'man' text me to see if he was ok... and then when I spoke to him this morning, he didn't even ask after him.

It's like a light has gone on in my head. This relationship is really not good for me. I've feared for my mental health throughout because it's been so tempestuous, and the way I've behaved... this is completely out of character for me.

So. I need to finish it, don't I?

But I need my hand holding. I know it's the right thing, and I am going to do it. But I need somewhere to talk.

Sorry. It ended up being very long and very dull after all Wink

OK sounds like you are at least physically safe, but I would advise turning off your mobile tonight and if need be, unplugging the landline. Then in the morning, if there's a lot of abusive texts and messages, save them and if they continue over the weekend, take the lot to the police and they will go and have a word with him. (One night's drunken stupidity on his part when you are in no physical danger is possibly worth ignoring, if it continues then it's better to report it.)

ohh, don't tempt me

BabyYoureAFirework · 25/02/2011 22:10

I agree with you SGB. I'll turn all my phones off tonight.

Do you know what pisses me off? He ended it with me a couple of weeks ago and I was fucking heartbroken. Devastated. So now he can't hurt me like that, he'll find another way, the manipulative bastard.

No, no PAFPM, I like them oily. Never mind the wiping.

Pete, I'm still going out.... BBM would kill me if not, I'm picking her up!

Feeling better about it since the other day, that dreadful dream knocked me for six, crappy weather too.

A yogi bear, a couple of hours with the boys running around a park, walks with Dad and DS today, Oh and no calls from you know who till at least Sunday....all better!

LittleMissHissyFit · 26/02/2011 00:20

Baby, keep posting over the weekend if you need to, we'll be here... well I kind of will, got to clean my house, have friend babysitting, and she has MAHOOSIVE house, so can't have mine looking like a hovel...

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/02/2011 07:24

Thanks women Smile

I was dreading this morning. Waiting for that awful kick in the guts you get when something has happened and you forgot about it while you were asleep, and then remember when you wake up.

But it didn't happen. And I although I clearly didn't get the lie-in I was after Hmm I really am ok today.

My phone was switched off all night, but I have no messages this morning, and it's all calm.

Phew. I can work on getting over this twat now.

We don't need twats in our life. This is a twat-free zone.

LittleMissHissyFit · 26/02/2011 14:31

Erm PETER ANDRE?????

TWAT FREE ZONE?

Okay then..Hmm

BelleBelicious · 26/02/2011 14:46

Just caught up with you Baby! Those feisty knickers are working for you.

Well done. There is really no messing with you, is there?

PeterAndreForPM · 26/02/2011 14:50

Peter Andre is much a misunderstood soul Grin

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/02/2011 18:54

Is he balls. He's a bit of knob Grin

Belle. No there isn't, I feel much more myself today. I deleted the folder with all the 'special' texts in it, without reading them.

Still haven't heard from him. I'm not even disappointed, just relieved.

PeterAndreForPM · 26/02/2011 19:23

hey, he gave you good advice on your thread, right ?

or have you forgotten that ?? ungrateful wretch

Grin

Do you think he thinks that you are pining away for him ? Perhaps he is letting you cry yourself to sleep every night and then he can come back and "rescue you" the nob

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/02/2011 19:41

I am grateful for the advice, of course Grin

I don't know what to think. I want to think that he has enough respect for me to respect my decision and stay away.

But I know him, and I know that there is definitely a part of him that thinks I'm sitting her crying my eyes out. Well, I did all that every time he was a cunt insensitive Wink

hi we have all been where you r inyour relationship weighing it all up we all want to be loved and not on our own but when we have kids its amazing how strong we becum and can take anything on and you already have said you no this man is no good for you so therfore your being strong already and the main thing is the kids they will be a lot happier when they no that you are happy be strong you deserve better and you no it ;)

SpringchickenGoldBrass · 26/02/2011 22:03

Baby, he enjoyed you sitting and crying. He fed on it. That's not someone you want to be friends with, is it? Friends don't eat you.

BabyYoureAFirework · 26/02/2011 22:37

Definitely not, SGB. And today I've come to the conclusion that we can't even be friends. It's sad, but we can't. No good can come of it.

BabyYoureAFirework · 27/02/2011 11:09

The twat sent me a few texts last night - manipulative bullshit. He can't stand the fact that I'm not calling him crying my eyes out, and it's really starting to annoy me. How can he not understand that I need time without contact?

OP posts:
PeterAndreForPM · 27/02/2011 11:48

just ignore

he does understand, it is just winding him up that you aren't dancing to his tune

stay firm

don't engage at all

I was on the website where we met last night. I talk to loads of people there and have never stopped - he visited my profile and I saw him.

Within 5 minutes, I had a text saying 'I was going to see if you were ok, but clearly you've decided to get straight back on the horse. Well done you'

I had this horrible feeling of dread, like I was doing something I shouldn't be... but it soon turned to anger when he sent me another one saying that he was shocked I'd managed to get over him so quickly.

It's so hard not to respond. My dander is up Angry

Just ignore

let him think what he likes

and if he thinks you are "back in the saddle" so be it, the nice side effect from that is he is crushing his own ego with no effort required from you

just think how much you could make him look even more of a nobhead than he already is Smile (not hat you should but still )

twat

BabyYoureAFirework · 27/02/2011 13:20

Aaaaggghh. The wanker Angry

It's good that he'd being a twat, it just makes everything easier to cut off.
