I had been seeing him for 8 months.
This girl started working at his place and she was suffering depression.
They became friends.
She started texting him,sending him Snapchat's.
She told him she was depressed and wanted to end it.
She said could she pick him up and go for a drive.
About 4 times she picked him up.
Last weekend she took him for Sunday lunch to say thanks.
I started loosing my cool with him saying this was so disrespectful to me.
Anyway he kind of ended it with me about 4 days ago.
Tonight he is out in a pub (looked at Snapchat )I think he is with her.
I feel sick

I'm so sorry. This wont be easy to deal with but feel how you need to feel, take a few days to feel the grief of the end of your relationship, then put your big girl pants on, paint a smile on your face and go back about your normal life

In that case you are WELL off out of it.

Block him. Have a nice bath and look after yourself this evening and then start getting on with your life.

Delbelleber · 17/01/2020 21:56

Definitely block him. Don't torture yourself with his status updates and photos. Flowers

I'd wish him good luck with someone that says they are going to end their life for attention like that. Who honestly says I want to end my life, can I pick you up and go for a drive? 🤔

I think he's got a rough ride coming his way but he choose this so he can deal with it

I thought she sounded a bit desperate
Surely if you were that depressed you wouldn't want to drive 45 mins to pick a Random guy up.
I said to him ..why is this your problem?
Where are her mates

Yep. I doubt all of this will be fun for long for him. But you're well out of it. Take some time to grieve, treat yourself well and seek out friends and family (or your own company if preferred). Then best foot forward with your own life. Make sure you block him. You really don't want to be looking at social media and wondering whether they're together all the time. Take away the temptation to do that.

He sounds weak and easily manipulated. Good riddance. Block and move on. You deserve someone who is truly committed.

cousinboneless · 17/01/2020 22:53

No more. Don't allow him any more of your emotions or head space. Cut him dead. I've been in a similar situation and got to a point where I couldn't bear it anymore. Cutting him dead was the solution. He does not deserve you, and you certainly deserve far better than this.

Cherrygirl3 · 17/01/2020 23:02

Hi OP, sorry he is messing you around like this. Are you sure he is being truthful? It all sounds very far fetched. As he has sort of ended it, I would do as previous posters have said and block him. If he did come back to you when all goes wrong with the other "gf" (and it will!) he is likely to do things like this again, so remember you are worth much more than to be treated like this. Flowers

OP, the rescuing a damsel in distress schtick is as old as the hills. Her alleged poor mental health and needing to support her was a handy excuse to see her and to shut you up, cos how could you be so awful as to question him being nice to someone vulnerable Hmm.

Common or garden cheat is all this was. You're best off out of it. Lucky escape really.

They are both revolting people

SummerWhisper · 18/01/2020 09:06

He will soon have a clinging, needy, unreasonable, high maintenance girlfriend on his hands who has no boundaries and will be using her 'depression' to ensnare other foolish men. Then his lightbulb moment will happen and he will realise what he has lost in you and you will be well over him by then. Hope you get over him very quickly Flowers

This rings bells Hmm
