Why is he doing this to me? I feel like I'm going crazy :-(

Yes I've posted before (today) but there have been developments and I honestly feel like I'm going crazy. backstory - I fell in love almost a year ago, thought he felt the same, had all plans for the future etc and then 6 months in I found out that he'd rejoined the dating site I met him on. We argued over it, he said he never intended to meet anyone (despite sending shit loads of messages to other women) and I gave him another chance. A couple of months later I find innapropriate emails again him trying to arrange meet ups for sex. I called him up and finished with him. He BEGGED and CRIED and said he was oh so sorry and what a dickhead I am and "i'm mortified to have done this to you, please give me a second chance" and "I love you so much I can't bare to lose you!" and "Give me a chance, I swear I'll prove my loyalty to you" yadda yadda yadda. Since then I'm met his parents, friends and children, he wants us to move in together, keeps hinting at marriage etc etc - but it kept niggling at me and just a few days ago I brought it all up again and said how I don't trust him etc. He sat there and said to my face "but I will prove it to you, I SWEAR. Why would I introduce you to my kids if I wasn't serious about you?" etc etc - I let it drop and then TODAY I found out that he's continued with a casual sex site!!!! All through the times he's sat there promising me and crying at me etc he's been straight on there as soon as the conversation ended basically!!

Why the fuck does he lie to my face like this?? why does he keep doing this?? fuck I tried to break up with him, he begged me not to so what the fuck does he want??? He swears he's never met anyone off these sites but now I'm not so sure, he's been on it months, logging in every week, surely he would have met up with someone by now? I can't believe a person can sit there and lie directly into someones face - a person that has done nothing but bend over backwards trying to support them and make them happy. What the fuck have I done to deserve this treatment??

We're due to take his kids bowling on saturday (why is he doing this to THEM??? introducing a woman to them that he has no intention of staying with??) and due to take his mother out on sunday for mother's day.

How the fuck can he play happy families like this when he's fucking around behind ALL of our backs like this??? I've not been able to eat since I found out. I've not brought it up with him yet but he knows something is up, he's tip toeing around me like the fucking cowardly mouse that he is.

And please don't reply to abuse me, yes I'm crazy - the experts call it anxiety and bi-polar - I'm not posting for fun. I want to know why anyone would do this to me? (or anyone!)

He does it because he can get away with it.

I don't know your backstory so not sure of the history here, but he isn't going to change . Why would he bother?

Don't marry him, don't have children with him, unless you want your life to be like this but without the chance to kick him into touch completely.

Snazzynewyear · 08/03/2013 19:52

I don't know the backstory either but he's a dickhead, and that has nothing to do with you and is not caused by you. He just is. Dump him. Before the weekend. Tell him you will not be coming on the bowling trip and the Mother's Day outing because he is a dickhead and you don't want to spend any more time with a dickhead like him. You don't need to understand him; you just need to escape from him.

Is this the one who's been name changing for months on end? Bored!

kalidanger · 08/03/2013 20:09

Disarmed dump him again and keep him dumped.

What the fuck else do you want us to say? Sad

yup

kalidanger · 08/03/2013 20:14

About this same thing, or the one who's living with her ex husband and has a shit bf?

sneezecakesmum · 08/03/2013 20:18

Don't waste time and energy and most of all your life trying to understand his behaviour. Women continually try to figure out this type of behaviour and several years later they re still trying!

Dump him now, refuse calls texts etc. you won't figure him out and you won't change him. Sorry

AnyFucker · 08/03/2013 20:19

The OP changes some details every time, but it's always about a bloke with "commitment issues"

SueFawley · 08/03/2013 20:26

Thanks to AF and badinage for the heads up on this one.

Fraying · 08/03/2013 20:28

why is he doing this? Because he can.
what the fuck does he want? To have his cake and eat it ( as my dm would say).
But, also, part of your problem is right there. It doesn't really matter what he wants. It matters what you want. Don't try to understand him or give him what he wants. Think about yourself and how unhappy he's making you, and then decide if you want a life of this or not. I know it's difficult but you can't change him.
A wise person once told me not to listen to what someone says but to look at what they do. If you stopped listening to his excuses, cries and pleading, then the behaviour you're left with shows that he doesn't respect you. Sorry he's such an arse Thanks

This man is just playing with you until he finds Miss. Right and then he will be off and your allowing him to use you cause maybe you have low self esteem and dont think enough of yourself to just walk away. This will keep going on and on .

Dottiespots · 08/03/2013 20:44

What are the other names posted under if Im allowed to know.

kalidanger · 08/03/2013 20:46

We're not allowed to 'troll hunt'. Id just leave this thread to die a death tbh.

AnyFucker · 08/03/2013 20:47

I never said Op was a troll

ErikNorseman · 09/03/2013 05:40

Dottle there are far too many to count or remember even if you wanted to.
