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?

Patronising pricks.

Oh that's lovely to hear gardener. I'm not sure if I want kids yet but he absolutely doesn't. Said they'd ruin his life. I agree, even if he texts this weekend I won't reply. I don't want to think about what he's doing over there!

Mine upped the anti to the extent of a proposal. Once I ditched him, I suddenly became the most desirable woman in the world.
No thanks mate. As soon as you were comfortable, you would have started up your crap all over again.
People like that always do, it's how they sleep at night.

Damnautocorrect · 09/07/2015 13:30

Of course kids would ruin his life, he couldn't love anyone as much as himself!

SayThisOnlyOnce · 09/07/2015 13:46

What an utter loser he is! Well done and stay strong. Honestly 'punching above your weight' 'back to basics' is he some sort of smug local radio presenter? You maybe too young to remember Alan Partridge but that's who I'm picturing.

SlightlyJaded · 09/07/2015 14:00

I can promise you this Ruby.

He will be moping round Shagaluf feeling a bit depressed that you aren't jumping through hoops, getting more drunk than is attractive and punching oh, so very, low.

What an absolute knobrocket.

juliascurr · 09/07/2015 14:07

keep posting on here until you feel okay
you will
promise

Ohfourfoxache · 09/07/2015 14:26

Kids would ruin his life, eh?

He's a walking advert for forced sterilisation - can you imagine how much he would fuck up any potential DC he could have? Imagine having that self obsessed manipulative wankbadger as a dad - you'd never have an emotionally healthy relationship because you wouldn't know what it looks like.

OP, do you still feel like you have been hit by a bus, or are you veering towards wishing you could hit him, with a bus? Wink
Imagine him all hungover and seedy bragging about his inconsequential (probably crap) drunken pull last night.
Then realise that this fool is reassuring himself that you will be waiting to adore him on his return.

HellonHeels · 09/07/2015 17:37

Oh dear OP the more you post about this man the less appealing he sounds. Good looks are nothing if they contain an ugly character.

rubyroux · 09/07/2015 21:48

Agreed four, he would seriously emotionally damage any potential children!!

I don't feel as I did on Tuesday Katie, that horrible painful feeling has left my chest. Running him over with a bus is sounding tempting Wink I just feel a bit empty now, it's shit not having anyone to text in the day with silly pictures I see on fb or when things pop into my head I think 'oh I must tell wankbadger'. I hope he's having a suitably shit time Grin

Oh and I stole wankbadger off four, I love it!

KatieScarlettreregged · 09/07/2015 21:53

That's progress, which is great!
Baby steps.
Can you incorporate your new name for Mr Wonderful into the medium of song?
I used poetry once, was hysterical and helped me shift my perception somewhat Wink

KatieScarlettreregged · 09/07/2015 22:03

I once loved a Wankbadger
He thought he was Brad Pitt
(but much more better looking)
He really was a tit

He took a trip to Shaga
To spread his manly seed
But all he got was singledom
And venerial disease

rubyroux · 09/07/2015 22:05

Haha great idea!! I wonder if I can incorporate it into a decent power ballad that I can belt out in the car/ shower Grin

rubyroux · 09/07/2015 22:06

Hahahaha! Actually pissing myself here. If he texts me on Monday when he's back I might just reply with that..

KatieScarlettreregged · 09/07/2015 22:08

Get working on that Power Ballard Grin
I'm sure you can come up with something... apt...

SmillasSenseOfSnow · 09/07/2015 22:12

Your descriptions of him and your relationship are drawing so many parallels with my relationship with my first sexual partner when I was 20 that it's making me feel a bit ill.

I thought he was gorgeous and I would never find anyone more perfect. The sex was hot hot hot and pretty much constant (though looking back, consent was a grey area sometimes...). He did this dumping thing when it was 'convenient' on the way back from a trip (via text message, while drunk, thanks) and then I was a cringeworthy idiot and begged him to reconsider. He half-heartedly changed his mind and I only dumped him a few months later when I realised he was trying to get in someone else's pants (mainly because he asked me for advice on whether he should ask her out - at which point I pointed out that we would not be a casual item anymore if he were planning on getting into a relationship with another person!!!). He was happy to come down and use me for sex that whole time though.

Like AnyFucker I cringe. You will regret letting such a knobber treat you like this. You will wonder what the fuck you were doing.

BitOutOfPractice · 09/07/2015 22:16

I recommend this song often on MN. Download it. Sing it loud. Dance like a maniac.

I had it as my ring tone when I was at my lowest ebb - it still makes me smile now

rubyroux · 09/07/2015 22:34

Smillas what a wanker asking you for advice when you were seeing him Shock! I think I'm starting to see. To be honest I'm embarassed at how I allowed myself to get so emotionally dependent on him, I wasn't like this 18 months ago. I never ever want to get that sheer feeling of panic like I did on Monday night when he said it wasn't working.

Thanks Bit, I'll put it on tomorrow morning on my drive into work!

Wankbadger, cocklodger, arsewipe, ShitStreak - I've nicked all these off fellow mnetters and can't take the credit.

But bloody hell are they useful additions to anyone's vocabulary.....! Grin

WhatALoadOfOldBollocks · 10/07/2015 11:41

"He does think he's gods gift four, used to go on about how I was punching above my weight"

He may have said it "jokingly" but many a true word said in jest! What a wanker.

rubyroux · 10/07/2015 17:29

What a wanker indeed! Got a text today off him, he's feeling very sorry for himself, saying magaluf is a shithole and 'hell on earth' and he can't wait to come home. He's probably having the time of his life and saying that so I feel sorry for the poor manchild. Think again Grin

OP posts:
Ohfourfoxache · 10/07/2015 17:37

Urgh, manipulative tosser

He really doesn't understand that you're not falling for it anymore, does he?

KatieScarlettreregged · 10/07/2015 17:40

Magaluf is a shithole to be fair.
A shithead in a shithole, how apt Smile
