Would you believe this?

I'm not sure where to post this - not posted on Relationships before so apologies if this is the wrong place - maybe it is AIBI?

So, would you believe it if someone told you, via text, that they were at a funeral on a Sunday?

Bin him.

He's having you doubt yourself. So, kind of regardless whether all the other last minute (possibly bollocks) excuses are real, it doesn't seem like you're having much fun.

I'm guessing it's early-ish stages? Should be fun. Bin him & give yourself the chance to find fun elsewhere, with or without someone

Hmmm, I'd be tempted to turn up unannounced at his place tomorrow or something. See how the land lies there.

You could comfort him in his grief.

He is probably married/ in a LTR

Bin him. Life's too short to be doubting dodgy excuses. Next.

Honestly? No. I wouldn't believe him. Your instincts are telling you he is shady and not to be trusted.
It never ceases to amaze the lies people come up with that make you feel awful for questioning them.
My DS's dad told lots of petty lies (the most recent he implied his Grandad had died hence why he hadn't been in contact with our son - not true) I should have listened to the warning bells in my head before we had a baby and were just dating.

Thank you for the replies - I know in my heart this is wrong. I'm going to finish it, just makes me feel sad. I actually thought he cared.

Jewish funerals are very commonly held on a Sunday, so if it's a Jewish funeral. Then Yes. He could well be telling the truth. However traditional funerals while not unheard of are certainly not common on a Sunday, but that doesn't mean he's lying. As I've said. They're uncommon not unheard of.
Surely noone's that sick to lie about a funeral

Yes, some people are deceitful enough to lie about a funeral

Maybe he's hiding he's Jewish?

That was not meant as an insult by the way, just some people are not that comfortable with talking about their faith in a fairly new relationship.

It does sound insulting, though, Yoursecondbest1.

sorry

My fathers funeral was on a Sunday so it's quite possible. However, trust your instincts if it doesn't feel right.

Not sure I would have twigged. Curious though

He cancelled the date on which you were supposedly going to his place and now he's cancelled another?

You're best advised to adopt the policy of 'two strikes and you're out' and don't engage in any further communication with him.

If it's a Catholic funeral the body usually goes into the Chapel the evening before and there is a short service then.

Don't bother 'finishing it', he will just talk you round again.

He's not that into you, but still wants to leave the door ajar just in case.

Consider it over, block, and move on.
