Im writing about a male friend of mine. Well I say friend ive known him for 4 years and ive slept with him twice.
I admit that I do like him and he likes me but he isn't single. In fact he has had relationship after relationship, often overlapping ones that often only last 6 months to 2 years max. To give some back ground info he's early 50s with secondary school age children. Im early 30s with one child. Ive often thought he might have something wrong with him he can ignore messages for days on end and then message back , often out of the blue as if nothing's happened. It doesn't end there though. He's told me he couldn't be in a relationship with me as he only dates women who are over say size 14 and are below attractiveness in looks. Ive seen a couple of his exes and they are all a Miranda hart type, but smaller in height. He is good looking and I am above average looks wise and size 8. please bear with me on this this is not a wind up I promise, I wish it were ....He also only dates those that have older grown up sons and work in a certain job role. I mean there is no deviation from this mould. I only slept with him as I had no idea he wasn't single, but im confused as hell as to why he did as im not what he's looking for obviously !! Ive thought maybe he has a mental health issue or something but I suppose deep down im just wondering what is it I can't give him .. Im single after a lt relationship that failed a while ago, ive only been in one relationship so people like this confuse hell out of me !
Ok well any input much appreciated x

His relationships don't "overlap", he cheats.

You are good enough for sex, but not good enough to have a relationship with.

"he wanted, he wanted""

Did you want any of that stuff?

You might want to have a think about that

Kimberley00001 · 22/09/2015 12:56

True AF .. No I didn't want that in all honesty

Then don't bloody go along with it

You don't owe these twats their "fantasy"

Have some self respect, fgs, if you come across as so bloody desperate to please you will continue to attract these utter losers.

Kimberley00001 · 22/09/2015 21:29

No I will never make this mistake again. I truly hate him now Angry

Oh good!

A bit delayed - bcs he was Revolting from day one - but better late than never eh. Bravo.

Are you alright? It can be difficult when the veil is torn off and your eyes are opened, especially with all that sordid stuff Flowers

Kimberly, pretty sure lots of us have had 'romantic entanglements' which make us shudder and cringe when we look back.

Kimberley00001 · 26/09/2015 18:55

Don't sent him messages unless you want the drama, just quietly get on with your own life.

Kimberley00001 · 27/09/2015 23:23
