What would you do?

Have been dating a guy and raised the issue with waiting. End up waiting for him every date for 30 min or hour...
His reply was: “if you don’t wait for me with love, then don’t wait...”
I told him that it’s disrespectful of my time and effort. He just said: “next time wait max 5 min and if I’m not around, don’t wait...”

I am keeping away from him at the moment, and I’m hurt.

After those words I said him “maybe we should take a break?”

I’m not getting it wrong, am I?

So you mean he is running late for your dates?

It is disrespectful and he assumes you are desperate enough to wait for him.

If I were you just get rid of him as they say plenty of fish in the sea.

Do not settle for a man who has no respect for yourself.

Inexperiencedchick · 25/05/2018 08:09

Yes, running late for dates...

Don't bother with him and date someone else who can actually be bothered to make an effort to see you

Dontsayyouloveme · 25/05/2018 08:14

I’d tell him to do one. Who DOES he think he is.... Angry

GreasyFryUp · 25/05/2018 08:18

"If you don't wait for me with love, don't eat". What the hell is all that about. Do you have to prove your feelings for him by accepting his shitty behaviour? Yes, tell him to do one.

GreasyFryUp · 25/05/2018 08:18

Eat 😂. Wait. Obvs.

ShatnersWig · 25/05/2018 08:35

You really need to ASK anyone else about this?

  1. Continually being late is exceptionally rude.
  2. His reply when challenged on it was ruder still.

Seriously, don't be "on a break", tell him to fuck off and find a decent guy. There are lots of us around, you know.

Inexperiencedchick · 25/05/2018 09:01

I’m just upset.

Don't be upset.
Be fucking angry.
What an arrogant cock he is.
Do not date this loser anymore.
Block, ignore, delete.
Move on.
This dating malarkey is a nightmare but you learn quickly which ones are a waste of space.
This dickhead is one of those.
Stop wasting your time on him.
Tell him to fuck off.

InkSnail · 25/05/2018 09:11

He sounds arrogant and selfish. Bin now.

Gazelda · 25/05/2018 09:15

Your time is worth far more than waiting around for that dick.
Show him how much you respect yourself by ditching him. Just a text, no discussion, no meet up. Then block him.
Any man that disrespects you isn't worthy of your time.

Adora10 · 25/05/2018 10:38

OMG what an arsehole he is.

Wellfuckmeinbothears · 25/05/2018 10:43

What an absolute tool. Get rid. Next.

OhGrrr · 25/05/2018 10:57

Basically, he means that he doesn't respect you or your boundaries.

Basically, he doesn't want a woman who has expectations of him. He wants a woman who will be grateful for his meagre efforts.

He will let you go long before he makes more effirt because he doesn't want to make an effort. He wants someone who is accepting of his lack of effort.

Inexperiencedchick · 25/05/2018 13:02

At some point he said: “this cooking will stop one day and we swap the roles...” I thought he was joking and joked back couple of months down the line “it’s nice to have a BF who cooks...” He went being upset 🙄

OP posts:
GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 25/05/2018 13:09

Haha he sounds like a right prick. You are much better off without!

DailyMailFail101 · 25/05/2018 13:10

He sounds like a child who gets everything he wants and everybody does as he says. Definitely look elsewhere he doesn’t sound healthy.

Duchessgummybuns · 25/05/2018 13:16

Nah fuck that my current boyfriend used to do that to me and painted it as my problem. Me being a proactive sort of gal canvassed my friends, male and female, for their opinions on being treated the same. It’s dickery, plain and simple, and I told him that and told him unless he was going to show respect for me then to do one.

He sorted it out. Hope yours does the same.

Inexperiencedchick · 25/05/2018 13:18

And he promised his sister to find a wife this year.

I was so upset that it’s actually because his sister asked him, he is dating me...

Or am I being unreasonable in this one?

OP posts:
Inexperiencedchick · 25/05/2018 13:24

And when I get pregnant I will be holding on to him as I would depend on him?
My answer was: “in case somehow the pregnancy occurs, you can leave if you want. I would be very fine to raise the child on my own.”

OP posts:
category12 · 25/05/2018 13:27

I would avoid the pregnancy dilemma by not having sex with him any more and binning him. Sorted.

PastBananas · 25/05/2018 13:35

Good grief. Dump him. NOW!

ShatnersWig · 25/05/2018 13:45

You don't need to continue to tell us what a moron he is. We've all told you. Have nothing more to do with him and don't waste any time even thinking about him.

TERFragetteCity · 25/05/2018 13:48

Why? Just make it stop.

TheClitterati · 26/05/2018 23:07

Good grief don't have a baby with him!

Dump and run. He's a loser.
