Arse

I have been seeing a man for around 9 months. He is the most thoughtful, attentive, kind man I've dated for years. And he's very keen on seeing this as long term. We've had a lot of fun together including nice trips away also seen a few difficult things together recently. All my friends are delighted and really like him and see both of us really happy.

Friday night however, we were out and at the end of the night we were making arrangements with other people. He went to ask his friend something. Friend was in a small group including a woman I don't know. My bf went over and greeted the woman with a huge hug and grabbed her bum and fondled it. When I went over I was introduced by someone else as bf's gf. The woman said 'you're not bf's gf...his gf is blonde'. Now I don't think he has another gf, I think she's referring to his ex, who is blonde. I am angry and upset about him grabbing a woman's arse and what that says about his real attitude to women. She didn't seem to mind at all so I'm guessing there's some kind of history but really I would have been surprised if he had greeted me like that. if one of his friends did that to me I'd think they were a right creep. And if my ex did it to me I'd be livid. I haven't spoken to him about it because of having visitors and a wedding to go to yesterday. He knows there is something up. We have quite a lot of plans for the summer including a holiday booked. At the moment I can hardly look at him. I don't know how to discuss this or what to do. My default position is LTB. I was hoping I wouldn't have to with this one.

He knows he has slipped up and he was avoiding you after he did it. Plus what the woman said . Doubt he will be telling the truth if you ask about it. Trust your instincts.

Send him exactly that, you have a bit of a problem with boyfriends who grope other women's arses and leave them etc. Ask if he wants to say anything.

Summerlovinf · 12/06/2016 22:13

I did pretty much. He's denying all knowledge and asking for clarification of when it happened etc.

So, lying.

TrixieBernadette · 12/06/2016 22:43

See that's not good :-( if I text or said something similar to my DP he would immediately reply with something like "shit, what did I do, really sorry, out of line, silly thing we used to do, totally inappropriate" etc etc (not that he would, he's not that type of guy, but you get the gist)

Denial from the off isn't good :-/

RunRabbitRunRabbit · 12/06/2016 22:48

Denial, effectively telling you that you are hallucinating or a liar, wanting to nit pick over your memory. Oh dear. You dodged a bullet by ending this now. Lucky you called him on it.

Summerlovinf · 12/06/2016 22:53

Yes and also playing the guilt card 'but you said you loved me....I've put my heart and soul into this never loved anyone more'

It's hard because that does feel true but then I don't owe him a relationship because of that do I? I saw what I saw I don't need to provide proof.

He put his heart and soul into it. Shame his hands were elsewhere.

AnyFucker · 12/06/2016 23:16

What Rabbit said.

He's a bullshitter who likes to grope other women in full view. Nothing doing here. Move along.

Summerlovinf · 12/06/2016 23:54

Yep....fraid so...shame Sad....he's making it easy for me by using denial/blame...he could at least have gone for confess/minimise. Back to the hot water bottle
