Sent him long needy texts ...anything I can do?

He was basically messing with my head.
Saying one thing and doing the other.
Anyway I sent him long texts and when he didn't reply sent more.
I'm not normally like that
I text again apologising but I feel like it wasn't enough.
How do I make him see I'm not crazy?
Do I text explaining why ?

I couldn’t take a man seriously who uses the phrase “cray cray”

He is messing you about, making you feel paranoid and ignoring you. He won’t get better, it will only get worse. He isn’t the right person for you, sorry x

Are you the poster from previously who posted 3 threads about this guy?

anyff · 12/09/2019 16:13

He never heard me out and never explained.
Just told me to stop asking him things and it made me even more paranoid

Yeah keep sending long messages. Eventually he will block you, which will be best for you in the long run.

Notcoolmum · 12/09/2019 16:14

I think you have posted before? Any relationship that makes you question yourself so much isn't healthy. Delete. Block. Move on.

MashedSpud · 12/09/2019 16:14

@lifegoes yeah she has. This is about the eighth thread and name change now.

PrettyFlyF0rAWiFi · 12/09/2019 16:18

Just stop it. Honestly, no man or woman ever received long, rambling texts and thought ' awww this is the one for me!' They think the opposite - how clingy, needy and mad.

And you make it worse by keep texting. Pick up your dignity and just stop contacting him.

lifegoes · 12/09/2019 16:18

I thought it was @MashedSpud this is the 4th thread about this guy. I wouldn't even turn off the phone if she is this bad. I'd put it on the floor and smash it up. And take myself off to therapy.

Sagradafamiliar · 12/09/2019 16:22

You're massaging the ego of a fuckwit who says 'cray cray' so I agree this isn't your finest hour. Move on and believe you can do better.

lifegoes · 12/09/2019 16:22

These are you aren’t they...
To think if someone sleeps with you /kisses you they like you?

Would you get annoyed by texts from someone your dating?

IAmBeatrixKiddo · 12/09/2019 16:23

"You spoilt yourself"?

Jesus OP, get some self respect!

He's being awful to you and you're allowing it.

PuffHuffle5 · 12/09/2019 16:23

I thought it was @MashedSpud this is the 4th thread about this guy. I wouldn't even turn off the phone if she is this bad.

Oh dear OP. I’ll have to take back what I said - maybe your are a bit crazy...

MashedSpud · 12/09/2019 16:27

There are several deleted threads too. 😐

Mummyoflittledragon · 12/09/2019 16:31

I was obsessive like this when in my teens. I discovered after a lot of therapy it was due to my childhood and I therefore attracted head fucks. Remove his number and the texts you sent him. He’s not into you.

BumbleBeee69 · 12/09/2019 16:31

He LIED to you then made it all your fault.. think yourself lucky you seen this now and not 5 years into a marriage. Flowers

Ilikethisone · 12/09/2019 16:32

OP are you sure you arent this obeseeive normally.

This really isnt normal behaviour. Long ranty texts, lots of threads wanting to talk about him. It's quite odd.

1forAll74 · 12/09/2019 16:32

I would stop all this texting crap, people never had these problems before there were fancy phones.

LovesNettles · 12/09/2019 16:34

"he told a lie why he had to cancel a date ... then he turned it around as if I was in the wrong"

Run. Like. Hell.

LovesNettles · 12/09/2019 16:36

Oh wait. Just read the other posts. Looks like you both need to run -- in opposite directions. Confused

PrettyFlyF0rAWiFi · 12/09/2019 16:38

Oh right. It's you again Hmm

Sagradafamiliar · 12/09/2019 16:40

I didn't know there was a limit to advice on a particular situation. OP is clearly having a bit of a shit time with a head fuck. I hate seeing women being treated like shit by men and still bending over backwards to please them, whilst other women look on and judge them for it.

RushianDisney · 12/09/2019 16:44

If someone is actually, genuinely interested in you there will never be the need for long needy texts. I've been guilty of it, it is hard when you've built something up in your head - but it is all in your head. How someone treats you is all you should judge them on, not a fantasy. He isn't treating you well, he is making you so paranoid and unsure of yourself you are posting multiple threads so internet strangers will tell you what you want to hear. If he wanted you, you would know. He is happy to keep you hanging around for entertainment when he has nothing better on but nothing more

Notcoolmum · 12/09/2019 16:47

I understand what you are saying @Sagradafamiliar but the OP has been given lots of good advice and support. All saying she is too good for this idiot and she needs to walk away.

Then she starts another thread with a different name asking the same question.

OP this is not a healthy relationship. This is not how people who really like each other behave towards each other. You are caught up in the drama and have become addicted to the highs and lows. Treat it like giving up smoking. One hour at a time of no contact. Until you have a day. A week and then a month under your belt. Block him so he can't contact you. See friends and family. Take up a hobby. Distract yourself. This is not a good situation and never will be.

lifegoes · 12/09/2019 16:53

@Sagradafamiliar I have given advice on her other posts and tried to help. But if she isn't going to listen and continually post new threads about the same guy and issues. There's not a lot we can do.

3 threads in 4 days at one point and every single person tried to give advice that she was too good for him. She needs to block him and try to move on for her own mental health. The advice is not going to change, but if she doesn't take the advice. There's not a lot we can do. But keep drawing her attention to all her other posts and advice given.

MarianaMoatedGrange · 12/09/2019 16:56

OP you may of course make as many threads as you like about this man, but the answer will always be the same - he's just playing with your feelings for his own amusement and doesn't give a flying fuck about you.

I hope very soon this will sink in and you'll give him up, leaving you free to find someone decent, who'll treat you well.
