I feel so so awful dp of 5 months has been so lovely , great with the kids etc , treats me so well. The only thing he has made remarks on occasionally is my weight which does get me down , I am trying to do something about it . Any way I had drinks with friends at the weekend and sat and sun sent him some shitty messages , saying find someone else who is to your standard come pick up your stuff , I'm too fat for u etc..... Any way he replied he loves me and stop ,
I feel so fucking awful about it , it wasn't me talking he said he understood this but last night he was very quiet and seemed very down and disappointed , he nearly left for home but I got upset and asked him to stay and said I was so sorry and love him loads. I'm worried now this has put a strain on our relationship. I don't know what to do but in so anxious now.

I hope OP does listen to some of the advice on here even though she may not like what she’s reading.

Sadly I didn’t listen to advice and my kids suffered as well as me. I regret not listening and I feel guilty every day for what happened, I will never allow someone into my children’s lives again, I am there mum and I don’t need anyone else to look after them or me.

Why do you want it deleted op? Is it because you aren't getting replies that agree with you? That people are saying that you should be putting your kids first?

And loool at not sending the PM. Did you really think the person wouldn't say fuck it and post it? Or are you now going to claim it was photoshopped? Grin

Oh dear OP, bet you never thought Ellisandra would be back, just so wrong.

ciderhouserules · 07/02/2019 09:41

OP - you have made a huge mistake in moving on so quickly with your BF. And people have pointed that out to you - you don't like it, don't like being wrong. Don't like that truth that you have put your children at risk. Don't like people pointing out that YOU have put your children at risk.

That's not bullying you. That is pointing out where you are WRONG! And you have made a mistake!

Accept that you are wrong to have done so, and that you made a huge mistake - and all the advice 'falls into place'.

But you need to get over thet fact that the to-and-fro of who was more mean to whom is irrelevant.

You have gone from an abusive relationship - to one in which you just cannot see the abuse. You can't tell the difference between an abuser who doesn't hit you, and an abuser who is love-bombing you, making himself indispensable, homing in on a vulnerable woman (OR her kids!) , and negging you to chip away at your self-esteem.

One way to find out if he is a 'nice guy' - ask him to leave you alone for a week. No contact, to enable you to think. IF he cries, argues, gets angry, threatens to leave 'forever', tells you you 'can't cope without him' or manipulates you into NOT leaving you alone - this is NOT a nice man.

However, if he IS a 'nice guy', he will leave you alone, do what you've asked of him, wait for you to contact him, back totally off. And let you think about whether you want this guy in ALL of your lives.

My guess? He's one of the former. He's out for a vulnerable woman, to control and use, financially, emotionally, physically. And unfortuantely, the kids will be dragged into it too.

You both sound a bit weird if I'm honest. You've introduced this stranger to your kids, yes he is a stranger and the fact that he's only now showing his true colours by demeaning you, proves that.

SlinkyDinkyDoo · 07/02/2019 09:49

It'll only get worse. He's not concerned for you. Only 1 boyfriend of mine has ever made comments about my weight, I was very young and took his shit. A year later he cheated on me and dumped me.

Lizzie48 · 07/02/2019 10:44

As far as I can see, no one has been nasty to the OP. You get told the truth on here, something I personally really value. And allowing your DP to have so much to do with your DC so quickly just isn't a good idea. They have already been hurt by your relationship with their dad, you need to be a lot more careful about who you allow into their lives.

Your relationship is far too intense considering you've only been with him for five months.

Perhaps OP didn’t actually send that message Shock

Mayonayse · 08/02/2019 07:58

OP why don’t you drive any more?

I am a size 16 and don't think I am overweight or fat. If a Fucking MAN told me I'm fat I would slap him and refuse to see him again. After poking fun at his tiny penis (if I'd seen it).
