Is he trying to phase me out?

Been seeing someone since March. It was ok at first but recently has become rather strained, we hardly ever see each other and when we do it's basically just him nagging for sex and me looking for excuses because sometimes I just want to talk (god forbid).
Anyway at first he used to text me every morning to say good morning, every night to say goodnight and during the day. It then dwindled down to just during the day. This Tuesday he didn't contact me at all. Nothing from him all day. Same thing happened yesterday, nothing at all from him all day.

The thing is, I'm fine with this because it obviously isn't working out anyway and I've been wanting to phase things out for a while anyway. The reason I havn't ended it properly is that we have both paid to see a show in November, something that we've both always wanted to see and something that we're both unlikely to get the chance to see ever again. I know it sounds shallow and materialistic but I didn't want to end it until after the show. I'm not starting to think he's thinking along the same lines??

What do you reckon? does it sound like he's trying to phase me out slowly?

Fuck it, go get your ticket and enjoy the gig. As a previous poster said, they'll be tonnes of fit sweaty men with similar interests to perv over

Couldn't carry on like that for months.

Oh FFS just ask nicely for the ticket, say you don't want to date him any more but wish him well. If he is tiresome about it, be polite but stand your ground - he is legally obliged to give you either the ticket or the money for it (if he's knob enough to tear it up or something).

solidgoldbrass · 09/09/2011 14:25

Oh but do go round there and ask for the ticket before you tell him he's dumped.

buzzsorekillington · 09/09/2011 16:55

Yes, go round get your ticket off him and then end it.

Hmm moi? Get your ticket back before he flogs it/them on eBay loses them - turning up unannounced at his place will catch him offguard.

Tell him that you have attend x y or z on the day of the gig and, as you'll be cutting it fine to get to the venue, you'll meet up with him when you take your seat.

Once the ticket is safely in your mitts, tell him you'll see him again at the gig.

FTR Hairy's not alone. I have a v busy life, like my own company, enjoy sexual dalliances but am not looking for long-term commitment.

Oddly enough, I've had numerous declarations of undying love from eligible men about town who seem unable to understand that I don't want to progress to anything more than notches on our respective bedposts Grin

Stop wasting time and get rid of him!!!

Get your ticket back first though... Wink
