DP said something strange last night

BACKGROUND: Ex and I were together for about a year and a half. No children together. About 8 weeks ago we broke up because I felt he was really untidy in himself and his home and I felt unloved as he never showed me any affectionI don't know if he was having an affair or not but I really don't think he was. We broke up on friendly terms but he begged and begged me not to leave him but I thought it was for the best. We lost contact until 2 weeks ago when I was worried I hadn't heard from him (he has attempted suicide in his past) so popped around and he was fine, just lost my number as he lost his phone. He begged for us to get back together and we did.

PROBLEM: Last night I was over at his and we were just watching TV quietly when he suddenly announced 'I asked a girl out but she turned me down'. I asked him if he asked her out before he and I got back in touch and he said he did but WTF did he just feel the need to announce that? I DONT WANT to know who he asked out.

so you were with a bloke for a year and a half, you split up and lost contact. 6 weeks later you went round his place and he said he's lost your number and his phone?? after a year and a half relationship I don't think you can use 'I lost your number' as an excuse not to contanct your ex.

you both sound odd.

Or have I misunderstood?

frumpygrumpy · 02/11/2006 14:24

Sounds a bit like he is hurt you broke up and wants to show you (in a manly fashion) that he has the ability to get out their and survive.

WhizzBangCaligula · 02/11/2006 14:25

Why did he feel the need to say that?

Because he's mental. And so are you if you stay with him.

I think deep down you know he's not right for you really, and imo he sounds like a nightmare!

I say dump him and move on, you deserve better.

Blu · 02/11/2006 14:58

Well, you dumped someone because they were untidy, and he was heartbroken...and then perhaps he wnated to recoup a little pride, and let you know he was 'moving on' and had asked soemone else out?

Don't give up your day job if you are attempting to write chick-lit novels and thinking of basing your storyline on this 'trauma'!

VanillaMilkshake · 02/11/2006 15:46

Perhaps he was trying to assert the fact that he tried to carry on without you...can't really think why else he would tell you. You should ask him.

piglit · 02/11/2006 15:49

Is this real?

Or am I in a parallel universe today....?

fairyfly · 02/11/2006 15:51

Surely if it was to recoup his pride he wouldn't say he got turned down.

That would be a bit stupid.

fairyfly · 02/11/2006 15:54

I asked ten women out while we split up, they all said no, bet you want me back now eh, me and my shitty disgusting toilet.

God yes, come here you sexy beast and lets shag.

theUrbanDryad · 02/11/2006 15:54

parallel universe for sure...

confused&bothered - read your other thread. hope this is sorted now.

tiredemma · 02/11/2006 15:54

theUrbanDryad · 02/11/2006 15:55

piglit · 02/11/2006 15:57

And while we're at it why don't we shag on your shit ridden toilet? What girl could turn down that offer....

[am ROFL at Fairyfly]

WhizzBangCaligula · 02/11/2006 15:58

LOL that did occur to me.

"I've moved on, but no one wants to move with me. So there".

Eh?

mascaraohara · 02/11/2006 16:01

I think she should dump him, so I can have him..

mascaraohara · 02/11/2006 16:01

there's nothing more attractive than a 30stone suicidal slob... it's the vulnrability

piglit · 02/11/2006 16:03

He asked me out as well. I would have said yes if he hadn't been so smelly.

NannySparkler · 02/11/2006 16:03

I dont think you guys should fool around. I know who this poster is and it is for real.

WhizzBangCaligula · 02/11/2006 16:03

Robin Hood, Guy of Gisburn, or 30 stone stinker?

mascaraohara · 02/11/2006 16:04

theUrbanDryad · 02/11/2006 16:04

theUrbanDryad · 02/11/2006 16:04

fairyfly · 02/11/2006 16:06

What makes me laugh is that i have been seeing my boyfriend for a year and a half and my god he couldn't pull of the loosing my number shit.

"Hi ff, miss you loads, just stupidly forgot where you live, your mobile and your landline while we were apart. Men eh."

Oh really, i thought you just didn't give two shits.
