I've been seeing this bloke for about 4 or 5 months now. Generally we get along great. He was upfront and honest with me at the start to tell me he is still married (separated 5 yrs now)
The problem I'm having is the fact that he still sees her on a regular basis for dinner and drinks out. I've never been invited along although I would like to meet her.
So I'm right in the throes of moving house and he tells me he's taking her to the theatre on Saturday night. He's never taken me to the theatre! I'm not a jealous person, far from it, but it just now feels that I'm never going to be his number one. He refuses to get a divorce. There are no children and he can certainly afford to get one, he just won't.
We've talked about it over and over again but he just won't budge. He says she's his best friend which I think is utter bollocks. If they were best friends, surely they'd be living together as married people do.
He hasn't even told her that he's been seeing me!

Any ideas?

He was so drunk last night so took an opportunity to rummage through his phone. Its not just the theatre - its dinner and an art gallery too Hmm
I'm waiting until he gets back tonight and will dump him then.
Last night I overheard him in the pub saying if I have a problem with today, its my tough shit. As he was drunk, I offered to walk him home and he called me a 'cheeky cunt' in front of all my friemds.

What a vile monster. No wonder she left. Sounds like he hasn't learnt anything at all...

Crikey Purple, it sounds like the wife is the least of your problems with this gem of a man. Right decision by you!

MissStrawberry · 15/06/2013 17:56

Why not dump him now by text?

KittyVonCatsworth · 15/06/2013 18:34

Jesus, you've had a lucky escape. I agree with mooncup that 4-5 months is a short time to introduce yourself to the ex but I'd be dumping his sorry arse for the 'cunt' comment towards you ND his DD......he's the proper cunt in this. Dump cuntchops, and do it magnificently.

PurpleOne · 16/06/2013 04:16

Too nice to dump by text. I'm old school and just damn rude IMVHO
He didn't kiss me nor touch me when he got back. I kicked off. We're talking tomorrow to let him know what a tosser he really is.
Typically like any other abuser, he don't remember. What a classic line.
True colours totally coming out.

Oh ill tell you what a tossbag he's been for embarassing me Fri. Then fucks off with the wife and ignores my texts all day. When he got back glanced over his shoulder while he was texting. Oh she's such 'wonderful company'
I'm more than ready to offload and dump tomorrow but I'm far too proud and decent to not kick off in front of my girlfriends tonight.

Be very careful that being "too proud and decent" doesn't have you looking like a mug. Why did you not tell him yesterday when you saw him? Confused.

LittlePeaPod · 16/06/2013 10:36

Purple. It's only 4/5 months. Leave him because clearly he still cares for his wife. If he didn't they would be divorced and he wouldn't still be treating her like his wife and taking her out etc. his already confirmed he won't divorce her. I would end it (text, call whatever) now. Why wait? Clearly what you think and how you feel is of no consequence to him. So giving him a peace of your mind about his behaivour wont bother him in the least. I would end it now. No need to wait!

Kitty Grin at 'cuntchops' !!

Juniperdewdropofbrandy · 16/06/2013 12:12

Just read your thread thank God you're dumping him. Best of luck.

Doha · 16/06/2013 12:49

Why wait for tomorrow. Why put a front and pretend everything is rosey in front of your girlfriends. It will make you appear more of a fool when you call it off tomorrow.
Do it today, don't waste another minute of your liewith or thinking about him. Go out tonight with your friends knowing you have dumped this deadweight--and party knowing that you are moving on without him.

PurpleOne · 16/06/2013 21:21

Job done.

He just sat there in silence while I just ranted. Said what I had to say and left.

Good woman! What an arse he is! x

Discomama · 17/06/2013 12:10

Think I've been out with this guy!! I started seeing a guy at work, told me he was separated, had been for 2 years...long story but basically he was still married, still living with his wife and seeing 2 other girls at work too. His mates went along with his constant lies and he also had a flat which he used for shagging, it was his mates...what a mug I felt. Kicked him to the curb, I don't need a shit like that in my life, God knows how he juggled everybody, wonder if I'll bump into either of the girls any time soon Wink
