My on/off (currently apparently on) boyfriend of 3 years casually mentioned going to (city) this weekend to see his mates, and asked could I lend him the train fare so I did.

Only he's actually in a different town meeting up with his ex.

I feel like less than dust.

Enjoy your hotel room, OP! Hope the bathroom is nice and clean!

IWouldLikeToSeeTheseMangoes · 03/11/2017 18:49

Holy shit OP that is truly awful Sad He sounds the lowest of the low what a knob. You're more civilised than me i'd have been tempted to carry out one of the excellent revenge acts suggested or at least write something immature but satisfying from his facebook like a status saying "I have a tiny willy and genital warts." Maybe posted it on every single one of his friend's walls for good measure. And left his front door wide open on my way out.

Bugger! Oh well, at least you're gone and he won't know where you are.

Well done for acting so decisively and with dignity.

I hope your hotel is nice and he doesn't pester you all night.

Stay strong. He's pathetic.

Sell some of his stuff on eBay!

I think you could go to the bank with ID tomorrow and take money out over the counter without a debit card.

AcrossthePond55 · 03/11/2017 20:09

I expect it's too late now, but I hope that at least you raided the kitchen to make a couple of sammies, swiped a bag of crisps or two, and something to drink for your hotel room. Saves costs on eating out.

OP you are awesome!

rainbowlou · 03/11/2017 21:36

Wow what an absolute arsehole...but you are one strong lady!Flowers

Khaleesi0 · 03/11/2017 22:18

I’m absolutely in awe at how you’ve handled this! You’re so strong!

Summerswallow · 03/11/2017 22:21

OP can I just say you are handling this with considerable humour and dignity. I bet you feel really upset- have a good cry to your mum. So much better that you found out now though than wasted any more time with this utter bell-end.

Slaylormoon · 03/11/2017 23:55

Thank you Smile.

Long chat with mum, she's surprised but then I never really said a bad word to her about him. Feel a lot better now.

I can't believe he thought I was that stupid, he didn't even try to cover his tracks. Oh, and he sent me back the £30 by the way! I now suspect he didn't really need to borrow it, he just wanted to make sure I couldn't go out without him. More of why I ended it in the first place, but I'm glad I've seen the light on this relapse.

He hasn't really reached out, probably expecting me to turn up soon. Well, I'm going to bed actually! (The hotel is actually a bit naice, one of those good last minute deals Wine) Thanks everyone.

Well done.
A cheater and a controlling twat.
You are well rid.
Get some sleep.

naebotherpal · 04/11/2017 00:11

OP, just wanted to say that you’re handling this like a champ. Keep it up and don’t look back.

Guiltypleasures001 · 04/11/2017 01:12

Hi op

Just checking your not having your new card sent back to his address are you ? 💐

Dobopdidoo1 · 04/11/2017 01:26

You’re a star OP. Good for you!

Atticusss · 04/11/2017 01:39

You are a strong amazing woman who has taken no shit. So in awe of how you've handled this absolute cretin.

JWrecks · 04/11/2017 01:41

Ugh, the cowardly bastard turned off his phone until he could dream up some bollocks story to tell you. Good on you not being there when he gets in.

You know whatever he comes out with when he contacts you next won't be the truth. It hurts, but hold steady. You don't need him. You don't deserve to be treated this way.

Seconding what @GinAndSonic said! Piss in his bloody kettle! Grin

JWrecks · 04/11/2017 01:44

Oh this figures! I've always, universally found that when a partner is suspicious or accusing about cheating for no legitimate reason, it's the partner who is cheating. He knew he was capable of it, he realised how easy it was for him to cheat, so he thought it would be that easy for you. The bastard actually took money from you to stop you going anywhere, he was so paranoid about it. What a shit.

Sorry for the double post, but more replies appeared as I was typing.
