I'm at a bit of a loss this afternoon and need some help:-(.

I have just found facebook messages between my bf of 6 months and his ex from this week. He is telling her that we are pretty much over and he is going to knock it on the head as he has had enough.

This is complete news to me. We are going on holiday next week????.

I knew they kept in touch but this has left me devasted, and I don't know what to do or why on earth he is saying this, I also have no idea if I should still go on holiday, please help.

I really wish you had taken the very good advice earlier in the thread. You went against everything that was advised and now you feel worse.

He is a knob end. You will get no answers.

Delete him immediately and move on.

Stop stressing about telling people. You are making it more of a drama than it needs to be. You just tell people you realised he wasn't the one for you and have finished things.

Holding a torch for 6 months is nothing ime.

No I am glad I called, hearing him happy made it real but I won't do again

watty you won't think so now but he has done you a favour. 6 months is not so long, many on here have been taken for a much longer ride.

Your Twat-radar has been honed.

Don't look back.

I agree not to worry about telling people. If a friend told me this had happened to her my only conclusion would be to think she'd had a lucky escape.

watty11 · 10/11/2013 20:28

Thanks. I think I would just feel an object of pity so don't want to broadcast it, no matter that he looks bad.

Just read your thread. So sorry he turned out to be such a twat.

The ex gf has just won the booby prize!!

Don't worry about telling friends and family- you won't be judged they'll all just think (quite rightly) that he is a total loser.

Hugs. Be kind to yourself

I think you've done really well. You've had one hell of a shock, dealt with it pretty well- and got your money back, all in one day.

Now, what are you going to do with that money and your time off? Loads of last minute bargains at this time of year!

They're a pair of prized wankers and one day you'll rejoice that they're both out of the dating pool not subjecting themselves to other nice people.

But for now, it's going to hurt and we're all here for you to rant/rave as much as you want. My ex left me for someone who was 'just a mate' I was humiliated at the time and it took me a long time to get over the betrayal, but over a year later I'm in a much better place and way happier than the insecurity that was eating away at me :)

Isn't it really annoying when people don't read all the thread ?

FreakinAllAboutSugar · 10/11/2013 22:58

Exactly what stubbornstains said - besides being one asshat lighter, you now have a sizeable chunk of free time a stack of cash you doubted you'd see again and only yourself to please. Sounds to me like you've come out in profit.

By all means have a rant to your friend and mock his shortcomings (of which there must be many), but then start planning an adventure!
