Think he's left me and not told me?!

Ok sorry, this might be long.

Been with partner around 6 months, just moved in together. Things have been fantastic until this weekend, when his ex got in touch and it threw him, they had a messy break up around a year ago and we're engaged, after 8 years together. She's basically begging for him back.

He told me honestly about their conversation, that he needed closure, felt strong when replying knowing he had a good life now with me.

Although he's been quieter since Saturday he assured me no reason to worry.

This morning I went to work, but had a gut instinct something wasn't right (randomly changed his WhatsApp pic from us to one of him) and my messages weren't delivering. I tried to call, no answer. I txt him to say I was going home early, when I called again he answered, said 'for fuck sake, ok hope you feel better soon.'

Got home an hour later, to be locked out (live in flats with communal entrance) his phone switched off and nowhere to be seen.

I got a neighbour to let me in, he isn't answering his phone, not receiving any messages, has basically vanished. All his things are here.

His smart new clothes he bought the other day have had the tags taken off and left so he's obviously wearing them. But no coat.

I'm thinking the worst. That he's left for good. Maybe being paranoid, but this is all VERY out of character. Never not been able to get hold of him before.

In the interest of not stop feeding, he left his ex one day taking nothing, just walking out, when he heard she had cheated. So he's capable of leaving things behind without second thought. He didn't tell me on the phone he was out but it looks as tho he waited for me to leave for work, got changed and went. Told me he had no plans, what he's making for tea, he was gunna do housework today, blah blah.

Someone talk some sense into me as my instincts are saying the worst has happened and he's gone back to her without so much as a backwards glance. :(

What a coward! You're better off without him. How inconsiderate to leave you wondering all this time!!!

Butterymuffin · 06/12/2017 21:36

Have I missed what it was?

JonSnowsHair · 06/12/2017 21:36

I can’t see the update? Can someone summarise?!

coffeeX10 · 06/12/2017 21:36

I can’t see them either so don’t worry OP they don’t appear on the mobile site anyway x

Nannyplumbrocks · 06/12/2017 21:36

What did it say?

KioskKeithForPresident · 06/12/2017 21:36

Il delete in 10 mins. Just for those of you awaiting closure as much as I have been...

You can't delete individual posts yourself on this site. You will have to report them each to MNHQ and request individual post deletion. If you think you might want to delete them, then you shouldn't post them and just summarise.

Tiredmumno1 · 06/12/2017 21:36

It's ok OP, just take a moment to breathe. MNHQ will remove for you.

Have you responded to that yet?

garmsfresh · 06/12/2017 21:36

Poor him not

Blatherskite · 06/12/2017 21:36

I can't see any pictures either

lazydog · 06/12/2017 21:37

I'm lost. I don't see any picture??

Hope you're as ok as you can be op Flowers

BabyOrSanta · 06/12/2017 21:37

So all he's said, basically, is "woe is me, nasty ex got in my head, I'm staying at mum's"
So nothing he couldn't have said earlier.

OTOH, at least make up a believable lie...
Why the new clothes etc?

squiddled · 06/12/2017 21:38

You need to get rid of this selfish fuckwit immediately. What a selfish selfish bastard: he only had to tell you this earlier and stop you worrying. And in any event it makes no sense - he's head fucked because he doesn't know how to make you happy, but this has only become a concern since his ex reappeared? Bullshit.

He went to see her and you almost caught him out, so he panicked and was scared to face you so fucked off to mums. He is now doing that classic defensive thing of trying to make it to do with you!! It's not. He's a totally selfish cunt and you need to drop him immediately.

MiniCooperLover · 06/12/2017 21:38

It’s very unkind he left you waiting all day to get such a little amount of information.

happydays00 · 06/12/2017 21:38

I'm sorry to say op but I don't think he's been at his mums.. I'm calling BS on this one. I'm so sorry it sounds so harsh, but IME think he knows you're not what he wants but is too much of a coward to say it. Hope you're ok Flowers

PinkFluff2 · 06/12/2017 21:38

It's unacceptable to leave you all this time and then send that message. I wouldn't reply and give him a taste of his own medicine. Don't reply and give yourself some space to get your head together. You've done great so far.

Carrotgirl999 · 06/12/2017 21:38

Iv not responded... for those of you who haven't seen it il try to summarise...

Gone to mums, heads a mess, haven't taken my stuff just need a night or two, can't make you happy, so so sorry. Or something like that.

Doublemint · 06/12/2017 21:38

I smell BS!

His "mum" Hmm surely he can do better than that?

You could reply "been in touch with your brother and SIL all day. Pull the other one".

There's no way one of them hasn't spoken to the brothers mum if one twin is missing and the other is in hospital over the course of the day ffs. No way the brother or SIL wouldn't mention it either.

He's a lying prick. The "oh my head is so fucked, all I do is hurt you" it pure platter-juice. Total red herring. Don't fall for it.

OnionKnight · 06/12/2017 21:38

What the fuck is going on? Confused

CremeFresh · 06/12/2017 21:38

I can't see any pics.

Lovelilies · 06/12/2017 21:39

I wouldn't believe that text, definite BS and an air of poor me.
Get shot of him OP

PinkFluff2 · 06/12/2017 21:39

Haven't you spoken to his family though? I thought they hadn't heard from him either!

BIWI · 06/12/2017 21:39

Woah! Just caught up with this, so I missed your post - what's happened? What's he said/where is he?

Moanyoldcow · 06/12/2017 21:39

Just pack his shit in him liners and tell him to fuck off. He's a big fucking baby.

CremeFresh · 06/12/2017 21:39

Dump him - I wouldn't believe a word of it.

Tiredmumno1 · 06/12/2017 21:39

Ok, hopefully someone here will have a good response for you.
