He's broke it off... Can hardly believe it's happening

I've posted before about dp and have know in my heart that the relationship didn't hold any future, me constantly waiting for him to commit, three years of broken promises of moving in, divorce and the list goes on. I've been so down in the mouth lately with it all and this morning he tells me we should break up as HES not happy.
I can hardly believe it. It's what I wanted deep down but I'm still feeling like it just got punched in the stomach. All the hopes and dreams of the past few years just down the drain.
I feel like this relationship has just sucked the life out of me leaving me used and emotionally abused. Feel such a mess I don't know how I'll move on without him.
Sorry for the ramble I've no one to talk to in RL.

Second the suggestion to distract yourself doing DC stuff over the next few days, nasty time for DC as well as for you Flowers

His calling and texting like crazy today. Saying "we need to be grown up about this and not fall out" is he taking the piss!?! I saw him take some of his things yesterday and last night I could see he had been through my draws and taken most of his things bar a bag of dirty laundry shoes and suit he stuff in the back of the cupboard. I'm so angry I could spit. So he calls again and I answer, he's acting like nothing is wrong! When I challenge him he says he didn't mean it for us to break up he was just upset and didn't want to come to the lunch. He didn't take his clothes for any particular reason! WTF he's trying to back track.

Oh dear. Seems he didn't get the reception he was anticipating but, 'never mind' he thinks to himself, Lm will welcome me back with open arms.

What a twat and now he expects you to believe that he told you he was leaving because of his deep unhappiness, packed up his stuff, got you to take him to the station, and caused all that upset to the dc because he didn't want to have lunch with your family.

He's got you down as a complete mug, hasn't he? Are you going to grow a handle or a pair?

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 01/09/2015 12:06

London, I know it's hard, but you need to stop talking to him.

This is a man who chose to "pretend" to leave you so that he didn't have to come to the lunch. Which really upset your DC. This man deliberately hurt your DC for his own selfishness Angry

Stick all his stuff in a bin bag so you don't have to look at it.

He is a really nasty piece of work.

Don't let him back. Keep you and the dcs safe Flowers

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 01/09/2015 12:13

Bollocks to him. Dump his sorry fucker arse anyway. He's just trying to fuck with your head now, so don't let him. Say you're done with his games and his attitude and you've binned his dirty keks, so he can fuck off.

ENtertainmentAppreciated · 01/09/2015 12:20

It annoyed me, on your behalf LM, to read he was walking around smiling as he packed. Even more to read that he left his dirty laundry behind, but 'didn't mean to break up/just upset/didn't want to go out to lunch/ He sounds like a sulky teenager, not a grown man.

Let's go back to the OP

Londonmummy01 · 01/09/2015 19:49

So I made it through the day I'm exhausted. I didn't answer any more texts, there were plenty, all Nicey Nicey as if nothing was wrong. I will make arrangements for some financials and then block all contacts enough is enough is enough. My DC needs me he's already had enough crap with his own father. Dp has taken up so much of my emotional time I feel I've lost touch with all my friends and family I just need to get back on track with my life.

Text him and say please don't contact me again, save the text should he get nasty and block him. And delete him

Be really nice to yourself and get on the Christmas thread, style and beauty threads, any distraction! or take up a consuming hobby. Tell yourself you will start dating NY, and post on here if you feel tempted to text him.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 01/09/2015 21:02

London, :) well done you for ignoring him. You're doing brilliantly. Just get through this bit and an amazing life with friends and family and people who really care is just around the corner Flowers

ENtertainmentAppreciated · 01/09/2015 22:40

I've lost touch with all my friends and family
Well, that's very telling. Divide and rule!

Be strong LM. Things can only get better x

I've done ok the past couple of days keeping busy so as to not think about him but now I'm having a bit of a melt down.
I been to a social event today and it was lovely but very couply and everyone as asking if I don't have a dp it felt horrible. Dp has been calling and texting everyday asking for us to meet and talk as he wants us to be back together but I've limited my communication so as not to say the wrong thing my head is such a mess.

You know that if you are foolish enough to believe the no doubt lavish promises of change he'll make in order to get his feet back under your table, it won't be long before he sucks all the joy out of your life again.

It's only a week since he packed his knotted handkerchief and departed of his own volition, after causing needless upset to your dc and getting you to drive him to the station, and you're still adjusting to his absence.

Early day, Lm - give it another couple of weeks and you'll realise that you don't need a man to define you and your certainly don't need a 'dp' who's not worthy of the title and, more especially, one who sounds as if he's yet to get divorced.

Avoid 'couply' events until you can feel amused by sorry for those who put on an act for such occasions and can't wait for them to end so that you can go home, kick your shoes off, pour yourself a Wine and stretch out in your own bed without a snoring farting body next to you.

What have you done to get back in touch with those friends and family members you've not had time for because you felt obliged to dance attendance on a selfish twat who has no respect for you and no compunction about upsetting your dc?

He may have rapidly been rebuffed by the ow he was hoping would be stupid enough to welcome him with open arms discovered that the grass isn't greener on the other side, but from where I'm sitting your patch of lawn is looking a lot healthier now he's not on it.

The future's waiting for you - make it a good one for you and your dc.

FuckYouChrisAndThatHorse · 06/09/2015 08:00

Can you block his number? You don't need to meet him or talk to him. If you've still got his stuff, pack it all up and drop it at his mother's house.

You don't need the pressure of him constantly texting. It's making it all much harder for you.

Just remember how he treated you and your DC :(

This is the hard bit. It will get better. You don't just want any old dp. You want a dp you are proud to be with. Let yourself grieve. Time will heal Flowers
