I really like him but after a few drinks he will literally talk to anyone male or female.
We went out last night and this woman (20 years older) asked him to dance and he went.
I was sat there ..he came back and asked was in a mood and was that ok? Did I mind him doing he's own thing etc
I said you can do whatever
He disappears on nights out as he gets drunk and wanders.
Then forgets where his friends are.
I like him a lot but I'm paranoid after a few drinks a pretty girl try's it on and he's away.

Definitely sounds like a drink problem to me. Really reminds me of someone I know. Are you sure he only drinks once a week?mm

Theworldcouldbemymollusc · 09/06/2019 15:48

No!

Drinking once a week can still make him an alcoholic; it’s a binge, he can’t stop, and gets so intoxicated he can’t remember.

Notquiteagandt · 09/06/2019 16:04

he sounds rather like a narcecistic ex of mine, his name doesn't begin with H does it?

DesperadoDan · 09/06/2019 16:26

Notquiteagandt I was going to ask op the same but with a different letter.
Mine was found in a ditch on one occasion, went awol on a stag weekend on the Isle of Wight for around 18 hours, claimed he didn’t know where he had been. Walked 9 miles home when he got on a wrong train, walked 9 miles whilst vomiting copiously over himself.
Had an eye for other women, told me I was paranoid and jealous, he would talk to anybody whilst drunk, he invited a strange man he met in a pub back home with him to carry on drinking and got himself sexually assaulted. I could go on.
He was a dream in the beginning, charming and romantic, good fun, I fell hard, he soon showed his true colours but it was too late, I was hooked.
Sorry to derail ops thread but these men follow a ‘type’ and it always seems to involve alcohol, other women and going awol.

I read this identical post before. Did you post it before OP? A couple of months ago?

ChewbaccaHutchinsCool · 09/06/2019 16:49

Oh, bullshit he 'only' drinks once a week and when he does, look how he acts? Going missing, not remembering? Come on! Why is your bar so low? This guy's a total loser.

NiceLegsShameAboutTheFace · 09/06/2019 17:09

If the woman was 20 years older I wouldn't mind so much

Why not?

DizzySue · 09/06/2019 17:49

If his behaviour has made you (who is not usually jealous) feel jealous, annoyed and insecure then you should not be putting up with that. Nobody should make you feel that way.

No, I think it's okay if you're out alone or with friends that are similar but not when you're with someone.
