what is wrong with some people!?

[prioritisingfootball]

NC as don't want to our myself and I've told a few RL friends.

Been OLD for a few months. Met a bloke, been out on a few dates. Had so much in common. Really enjoyed his company. Invited him to my house for dinner a few times. Stayed over at his. Everything seemed to be going fine. One of our few differences is my love of football. He's not interested in the slightest.

So this evening my team were on TV. When he'd text earlier I explained that my plan for tonight was to watch the match. He text me while the game was on. I didn't reply. At the end of the match I picked up my phone to be met with 3 text messages: the initial text, a snotty follow up due to my lack of response and then one that just said 'Meh!'.

I replied saying I couldn't understand the need for the shirty texts as he knew I had plans. He told me to 'fuck off' because 'football isn't that fucking important!'

I don't know whether I'm shocked, pissed off, or if the whole situation is just really really funny! Maybe a mixture of all 3! I've told him to cracking on and enjoy his life.

Not really looking for any advice. Just thought I'd share my lucky escape!

Good woman!

Friends ex used to do this whenever we went out.
He'd insist on dropping her off (so he could get the 'isn't he good'…) and her arse wouldn't have hit the seat before she get the first text. I persuaded her once not to reply, after all he knew where she was, who she was with, they'd agreed what time he'd pick her up at. All he'd text was Home now.

When he didn't get a reply within 10 minutes, he drove back and spent 20 minutes ranting about how thoughtless and uncaring etc she was.

Sadly it took till he hit her for her to leave.

He's told you that you're meant to sitting waiting for his attention.

And damn good for you.

I agree that the text during the match was a test. When you informed him that you'd be watching the game, you were setting a boundary. He tested that boundary and when you didn't yield he gave you a verbal spanking. It was a power play.

The subsequent apologies/excuses/lying lip service is a distraction tactic-a self serving pity party because you wouldn't be subordinate.

Would he then get sloshed every time you were otherwise occupied?

Lucky escape indeed.

He was so wasted between - what 8pm and 10pm - that he thought saying "fuck off" to a new gf was even remotely an option?

Not sure what reason you should dump him for specifically:
Lack of football
Need to monopolise your every second
Sulking
Telling you to fuck off
A drink problem

Or merely bein a twat.

I Think you did the right thing- lucky escape there

Love Hissys post!

Hissy,

Pictish I've not replied. He's had radio silence from me all day!

Tomorrow he will accuse you of sulking, just giving you a heads up that all of this will be your fault.

Can we all sing "we forgot that you were here" in his honour now?

I agree, he's now waiting for you to get over yourself...

I'd give him a straight red love...

Yup. Red card
