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?

If it were me, I'd dump him now. While he's on a shite holiday.
Text him once then block.
"I've been thinking, and you're right. I'm fed up of punching below my weight. We're done, finished, etc. Please don't text or contact me again."

Congratulations!!

I can't reverse a car let alone a proper big vehicle.

& well done on ignoring wankbadger

Yay to passing your test. Brilliant brilliant brilliant.

Is the cockweasel back today?

If so, be strong. And yes please block him on your phone. I know it's tempting to hear what he says next, and I also appreciate you are fragile and sad and it's a comfort to know that he is still trying to contact you/appease you, but in the long run, you will make it harder on yourself as he will try to wear you down. It is much easier for you if you block. And far more frustrating for him.

FeckTheMagicDragon · 13/07/2015 11:54

Congratulations Ruby! That's brilliant, well done :)

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 13/07/2015 12:38

Fantastic news Ruby, well done. It'll never be as hard again as being tested.
Things are on the up, so while they are, block and ditch the deadweight.

It's all well and good hearing what he has to say and us all uniting with scathing replies, but he brings absolutely nothing to your life so make space for the better things to enter it Flowers

AnyFucker · 13/07/2015 12:42
Thanks
YNK · 13/07/2015 13:11

He won't let you go easily!
He will be begging and showering you with attention when he gets back but PLEASE please do not even give him the benefit of a conversation or he will do everything in his power to get you back to where you were earlier this week. www.drjoecarver.com/clients/49355/File/IdentifyingLosers.html

ohlamour · 13/07/2015 14:56

Thanks for that YNK! What a brilliant article. I've printed it off to take to my first counselling session on Friday (getting over bad relationship with a 'Loser'!). Flowers

KatieScarlettreregged · 13/07/2015 15:46

Well done ruby!

I have a baby fast asleep on me so have kept myself amused reading through this.

I love how helpful and caring mumsnetters are. Ruby, I hope you're doing ok. You seem to have figured out that you can do so much better than him and that you deserve to be treated with much more respect than this loser has given you. Congratulations on passing your test with all this going on.

Be strong. He's not worth your precious time or energy.

YNK · 13/07/2015 16:30

It's a brilliant article Ohlamour, I got it from mumsnet (AF, I think) Wink

pinkyredrose · 13/07/2015 17:52

Oh that's brilliant OP, well done on passing! ! Any more contact from wankbadger?

AnyFucker · 13/07/2015 18:15

YNK, it's an oldie but goodie

YNK · 13/07/2015 18:38

It's about the best AF!
Over the years I have shared it far and wide and many people instantly recognise the behaviour pattern once the see it written down!
Thanks again Smile

Ohfourfoxache · 13/07/2015 19:11

YouBastardSockBalls · 13/07/2015 19:23

Congratulations on your test - and strength Flowers

AnyFucker · 13/07/2015 19:33

YBSB, are you still with the tosser ?

rubyroux · 13/07/2015 20:15

Thank you so much for the well done's everyone Flowers. It's been a busy and exciting day, had a meeting with the solicitors this aft and I'm signing for the house possibly NEXT WEEK! Which is quicker than I expected.

And thank you for the link, it's scarily accurate.

YouBastard that's so weird!!! Are you actually me Shock and are you still with him?

I'm glad I have the house to keep me busy. Have another day annual leave tomorrow so off to ikea Smile

Ps agreed Steggy, I can't believe the support and advice I've got from people. Totally unexpected but very much appreciated Flowers

Theresaflyinmyhouse · 13/07/2015 20:21

Ruby I want to know what his question was! I'm similar to you. I wouldn't have blocked either. I'd want to know what shit he came out with to amuse mumsnet

rubyroux · 13/07/2015 20:35

I'm so intrigued too Theres because I know he was pissed when he sent it and the truth comes out inevitably doesn't it?!

OP posts:
Theresaflyinmyhouse · 13/07/2015 20:40

Yeah exactly. Or just dumb stuff. Have you heard from him this evening?

rubyroux · 13/07/2015 20:51

No! I'm not sure what time he's back and I can't remember if I told him I was off tomorrow or not. Not that he'd remember [comfused]
