XP going thru a rough time so I invited him for Xmas with me and DS. Ended up sleeping together and have had a sort of reconciliation though he doesn't seem to have much interest in sex (bit like last couple years of relationship due to substance abuse and treating me like dirt). I have said he obv doesn't want me and he insisted that's not the case as why would he not (13 years older than me and general opinion always that he should count himself lucky). now I've just had a text saying if I shave that might help as he really doesn't like hair! Despite never bringing this up in years before! its not like my lady garden is wild and overgrown, bikini line done and all neatly trimmed, just not bloody bald and 'all smooth bits' as he said! AIBU for telling him he should thank his lucky stars I even look at him after all he's done and that i think he should be glad to get anywhere near my fanny, bald or not?!!

Run away OP

He's an idiot

So what if he has childhood issues? Everybody does to some extent. That's no excuse for treating loved ones badly. Good for him if he wants to get clean and have counselling but you don't owe it to him to be his reward.

Good for you for building up your self esteem.

What a horrid person he sounds.

Massive mistake to have sex with him.

You left him 3 years ago and clearly still have a way to go in terms of what you’ll put up with. He’s not sought treatment for addiction or MH help in all that time and is giving you sob stories about his childhood and talking about seeking help, you think that’s progress?!

Continue to work on yourself, reduce contact with him to matters about DC/essentials only. You’re a fool if you shag him again or seek his assurance of love. He’s not going to be a good bf.

He sounds like a dick, but I also can't say I'd have much of a sex drive if I knew my partner thought they were doing me a favor giving me the time of day. You probably are, but if that's the dynamic here the relationship was always dead in the water.

Well done OP. He sounds like an arsehole and you are well rid.

finah · 05/01/2018 10:18

kmc1111 that was not always the dynamic and if anything I used to think how lucky I was to have HIM. But it's obv v different now considering how he ended up treating me! so now yes, I think he would be Damn lucky if I bothered!

You had a lapse in judgement over Christmas, consider it a blip, dust yourself off and move on.
You're not his therapist, he sounds troubled but he needs to help himself. And stay away from you.
