I had been dating a guy I met only a few months ago who I had written a fair bit about on here under various different usernames.
It was very much a whirlwind and he was very full on from the outset, telling me he loved me and I was his soul mate within a few days. I knew this was a red flag in itself but decided to carry on getting to know him to see if he was genuine or whatever.
I posted about how he had asked me to help him tidy his house and go out and meet his friends the evening after I had had a big sporting event and that when I told him I was shattered he got very huffy with me. EVERYONE on here told me to dump him, but I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt.
We had some great times together but he never really respected my boundaries, he started leaving his things at my house very early on which I wasn't comfortable with, starting referring to my DD who he didn't know as his stepdaughter, was obsessed with getting me pregnant and then when there was a chance that I could be after an accident screamed how he didn't want a "fucking kid right now" (thank god I'm not pregnant). He would take me out to things, pay for them, refuse money but later ask for money towards it.
Anyway, after him getting huffy because I needed to spend this weekend working towards an essay for my degree and he wanted me to spend the weekend with him, I finally dumped him. I feel such relief! I feel empowered again and it has taught me which signs to look out for next time. I was really starting to lose my self esteem going out with him because I knew something didn't feel right.
Anyway, I'm just writing it out so to speak. And thanks mnetters for your advice. Sometimes the "LTB" takes a while to sink in but you've definitely helped me make the right decision.
