Feel like I've been hit by a bus

So yesterday I got the 'we need to talk text'. I was out until half 8, texted him to come round. He said he'd fallen asleep and could he come tomorrow. No, I needed to talk to him so he came at about 9. Basically said he hadn't been feeling this was working and couldn't be 'arsed' with me anymore. I was doing that horrible silent crying and couldn't speak. After about an hour he said this was 'harder than he'd thought' (because apparently dumping your gf of 18 months is going to be easy) and that maybe we should reconsider. So I get another chance! But I'm not allowed to 'try too hard' it has to come naturally Hmm. He's off on a stag do this weekend (to somewhere that rhymes with shag-a-scruff) and I asked if he was planning on doing something when out there. He said no but that I'd be 'able to tell if he had when he got back'. So I have to analyse his behaviour when he comes back to see if he's cheated on me?

I feel sick, like I've been punched in the stomach. I don't want to break up, that's the last thing I want but I don't want all this shit either. I feel awful, couldn't sleep last night. Got up early and came to work and I've got about 15 mins before people start arriving. I look shit, my eyes are all red and I can't speak without crying. Does anyone have a grip to quickly give me?

Aaw didums.

I sincerely hope you ignored and deleted.

Pippa12 · 10/07/2015 21:14

I went to Santa ponsa the other week for a girly weekend- we went for a quick look at magaluf. Honest to god if he's over 21 he will be classed as old anyway. We are only 30 and we looked like the oldest girls in town. It's dirty and full to the brim with shit heads! It sounds like he will fit right in, but in the older version Grin

rubyroux · 12/07/2015 21:06

I'm consoled that you've confirmed in my mind it's a shithole, hopefully he's having a shit time Grin

Anyway text update! He drunk texted me at 3am 'how was your trailer test?! It's fucking shit here, don't worry about me cheating there is zero females here. Sorry that sounds bad but I'm just saying! Hope you're okay anyway xxxzzx'

I haven't done my trailer test yet, it's tomorrow. As for the rest of it Hmm

And I've just received a text a few mins ago 'Ruby, question???'

Kind of intrigued as to what bullshittery he wants to ask me but I'm still not replying!

Oh good girl. Your silence will be killing him

And as for reassuring you that he's not cheating 'because there's zero girls here' as opposed to 'because I am committed to you' ? Shock What an absolute twat.

Ignore ignore ignore

pinkyredrose · 12/07/2015 21:13

Blimey what the hell is he trying to achieve? ! Stay strong OP, you're doing fabulously. Good luck with your test tmw!

magoria · 12/07/2015 21:27

Nice guy not cheating as there are no females.

If there were he would? And I bet there are.

Text him back something like 'knock yourself out mate its not cheating when you are single'

there are lots of "females" in Magaluf

they just won't be interested in that sad tosser

as neither should you

what a pity he had to find out the hard way, eh

LadyofDunedin · 12/07/2015 22:23

What a tube he is! Keep strong OP , my ex used to give me hangers like the question to lure me in and when I still didn't reply I got 'I love you' etc... I went NC and blocked so I couldn't ever think 'what if'. And I set myself free... I recommend !

Fearless91 · 12/07/2015 22:23

It shouldn't matter how many females there is there! Whether there's 1 or a 100 he shouldn't even want to cheat.

The cheek!

Botanicbaby · 12/07/2015 22:25

Please reply to that text with "who is this?" And leave it at that. Let him feel a sense of unease and that something's not quite right. It isn't (the way he treats you).

You've moved on.

rubyroux · 12/07/2015 22:30

Thank you pinky, I'm absolutely shitting myself!

And when he said 'zero females' he meant there was 'zero talent' that he was interested in. He's said it before, doesn't make it any less horrible/ derogatory! I like your style Botanic!

Arse.

I haven't heard "tube" for ages Smile

rubyroux · 12/07/2015 22:35

Ooh what's a tube? Can I add this to my list of descriptives for him?

OP posts:
LadyofDunedin · 12/07/2015 22:41

Just a Scottish word for am EEJIT! Which, by the way, he also is !!!

AnyFucker · 12/07/2015 22:41

tube

rubyroux · 12/07/2015 22:44

Hahah love it! Especially as I can imagine my Scottish granny saying it. Slightly disappointed she's not used it before.

LadyofDunedin · 12/07/2015 22:46

Glad to be of assistance! Now, block the fucker Wink

AnyFucker · 12/07/2015 23:09

actually, I know you are keeping us suitably amused with just how utterly shite one bloke can be but why haven't you blocked him yet ?

rubyroux · 13/07/2015 05:55

I don't know you know Confused I think I'm just intrigued as to what he'll say next? I don't even know how to block a number from texts!! Maybe I should.

OP posts:
Tooooooohot · 13/07/2015 06:24

Just tell him it's over and stop the texting/dramatics. He's lying to you, treating you like shit.

What an absolute knob!

If you've got a Samsung phone I don't think you can block texts - just calls unfortunately. However , I'm sure if you don't reply he'll get bored eventually.

BitOutOfPractice · 13/07/2015 08:42

Here's my mantra, repeated often on mn

THE BEST ANSWER IS NO ANSWER

ironically that was given to me by my exDP with whom I went NC
And good luck with the test

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 13/07/2015 09:15

Hope the test goes well today Ruby.
