Is he trying to make me jealous?

Started seeing someone and he constantly talks about women hitting on him.
How women always want him.
He can never answer a question a simple way.
Today he said he was driving his dad to Edinburgh to see his brother and coming home.
He uploaded a pic to snapchat of a hotel room
I replied "where have you ended up ha ha"
He replied "last min hotel job ha ha"
I replied "that's very random,did you get your dad to Edinburgh"
He replied "yeah he is there"
I replied "why have you got a hotel ? "
He replied "fancied a nice few drinks"
Basically I wanted to know where he was and maybe who he was and it was like he wasn't telling me just to make me worry etc
I don't think I'm paranoid am I ?
Was he doing that on purpose?

I don't think the conversation you have quoted is anything to get worried about, seems like there was just a change of plan.
I'd be hacked off at the women hitting on him thing thoughHmm it 's a bit childish.
I couldn't be doing with all that nonsense so early on.

redresred · 20/07/2019 17:53

He's deffo staying up Edinburgh to drive his dad home as I could see his dads hand in the pic but he couldn't just come out and tell me.
He would rather me wonder
"Oooh is he with another woman"
He's doing my head in tbh

I'd find that very annoying and would probably dump before I got too invested.

HouseworkAvoider10 · 20/07/2019 17:54

Sounds like a total knob and a loser.
Bin.

SparklyMagpie · 20/07/2019 17:55

I'm not seeing what you do with that conversation??

Nothing screams out at me as trying to make you paranoid of saying it on purpose

M0RVEN · 20/07/2019 17:56

Yes bin.

SparklyMagpie · 20/07/2019 17:56

Read your update

You don't trust him, so I'd bin it off

I couldn't be arsed with all that

SparklyMagpie · 20/07/2019 17:57

Can I just ask?

You say you wanted to know where he was and who he was with, so why didn't you just ask all of that in one message?

I think this article might be really helpful to you;-

@SparklyMagpie he hates when you ask him questions.
He can't answer a simple question
Last week he was 2 hours late to mine and I said "oh god was the traffic bad tonight,where have you been " in a jokey way
And he said that I ask too many questions (I really don't btw)

@Igetknockeddownbutgetupagain Thankyou il have a little read

Very childish. Sounds like low self esteem and he’s playing a silly game to assert himself to show he’s in control. Pathetic

redresred · 20/07/2019 18:22

It's so frustrating

OP posts:
Ihopeyourcakeisshit · 20/07/2019 18:29

Did you get an explanation as to why he was 2 hours late?

redresred · 20/07/2019 18:37

He left late apparently

OP posts:
TheSharkInTheDark · 20/07/2019 18:38

He replied "yeah he is there"

Seems like he is trying to imply be had dropped his dad off and gone elsewhere to me, and like be is trying to have you wondering who he's with etc.

Very immature really. The not answering a simple question would irritate the fuck out of me. I would bin him off.

readitandwept · 20/07/2019 18:45

He left late? Two hours late? And didn't let you he was going to be so late? He's an inconsiderate twat for that alone.

As for this incident, you are sure his dads hand is in the hotel picture? Yet he said "yeah, he is there", implying the dad is dropped elsewhere with the brother? Am I right?

redresred · 20/07/2019 18:49

@readitandwept yeah deffo with his dad
He's just posted a pic of the three of them with pints in hands
I'm sure he does it to make me worry tbh

OP posts:
redresred · 20/07/2019 18:49

@TheSharkInTheDark I also thought that...I would have said "yes we are here,I'm staying overnight with dad and brother "
Yet he scouted round the truth to make me question where he is and with who.

OP posts:
readitandwept · 20/07/2019 18:52

So he wasn't originally planning to stay overnight?

redresred · 20/07/2019 18:57

@readitandwept he only told me today he was driving him up,he tells that many white lies lately you don't know what to think.

OP posts:
MrsTerryPratchett · 20/07/2019 19:00

They aren't white lies. White lies are, 'no surprise party' or 'I love your beard'. These are self-serving and manipulative game playing. Because he's insecure and wants you to be.

Which is what I'd say to him, but slightly nicely. If he was hot and worth it!

readitandwept · 20/07/2019 19:08

Okay, I'm a bit confused about today's scenario from the way you've told it, so I'm not going to advise on that.

But the constant need to tell you about other women, coupled with the 2 hours late with no warning, would have me dumping his crap arse.

He's staying out tonight. Do you trust him not to cheat on you with one of his many admirers?

redresred · 20/07/2019 19:12

@readitandwept I really don't...I did trust him till he came out with all the "I'm irresistible bull"
Now I think after a few drinks ...who knows.

OP posts:
OldWomanSaysThis · 20/07/2019 19:25

Your questioning him is controlling - you're trying to control him. He doesn't feel like he owes you any explanation so he dances around. He won't be controlled by you - probably because he wants to have the control. If you hold him accountable then he loses control. He maintains control by being vague. It's unhealthy dynamic.
