Been seeing somebody since May. Seeing him twice a week. Last saw him on Thursday. Said catch up soon no arguments. Normally messages everyday. No contact since Thursday and ignored my messages yesterday. What would you do?

You had suspicions he was married but shagged him twice a week anyway Confused Right because that’s normal

For most women they would of listened to that voice and ended it anyway

Let’s face it 50 miles apart this is never going to go anywhere anyway so just cut your loses

If there was any doubt that he could be married and you valued yourself and your time and energy at all, you'd end it this minute. The fact that you're going to "find out" and continue engaging in his nonsense shows how little value you place upon yourself. Please, consider this and work out why you're willing to give a moment of your time to someone who may or may not be married and shitting all over the person he's married to.

Curve ball means the same thing. But kerb or even curb ball can also be used.

JacquesHammer · 19/01/2020 17:29

Also suggested a weekend away

And the suggestion of telling the wife? Or was that just a fit of pique?

humblebumblebees · 19/01/2020 17:37

Before you see this man again you need to establish his true situation.

So insist that if the relationship is to continue, you meet at his house next and meet some of his family and friends, and start behaving like a couple. Suggest you stay over alternate dates. Spend weekends together at yours or his, occasionally meet him from work - ie normal couple stuff.

If he won't do this and denies being married, then you need to end it now because he very likely is married.

AlexaAmbidextra · 19/01/2020 17:50

He is back. Lost his phone !!!

Oh well that explains it then. Hmm Still doesn’t solve the married question though does it?

AJGranny · 19/01/2020 18:05

So has he got a new phone? Or found the old one?

Nicolastuffedone · 19/01/2020 18:12

Phew! Now you won’t need to let his wife know!

Sosounhappy · 19/01/2020 18:24

He’s talking shit. Drive to his house on a evening

CassidyStone · 19/01/2020 18:35

So all is forgiven now he's called you and you no longer care about the fact you are probably shagging a married man whose wife has no idea you exist?

You go girl Confused

Davros · 19/01/2020 18:35

Never heard of a curb ball Grin

Doyoumind · 19/01/2020 19:00

The only phrase is curve ball.

Kerb or curb make no sense Confused

Pinkbonbon · 19/01/2020 19:03

Presumably its because when you thwack a ball off a kerb it flies straight back at you.

coconuttelegraph · 19/01/2020 19:04

Are you going to go away with him OP?

And OT,
Google tells me that kerb/curb ball is a game where you throw a ball against a kerb so it does exist but that isn't anything to do with the phrase throwing a curve ball

Doyoumind · 19/01/2020 19:06

A curve ball comes from sport. It spins, meaning it doesn't travel as expected but curves instead.

Why would a ball bounce off a kerb straight back at you? Confused

Bluerussian · 19/01/2020 19:08

You have your suspicions that he is married but you don't know that. When you see him, just ask him, or ask him over the phone before you see him. Simple.

He might not be though.

BumbleBeee69 · 19/01/2020 19:12

interesting Thread... interesting that he 'suddenly' finds his find when you CHUCK him OP.. Confused

plus the Wife thing... Hmm

good luck in your quest OP... to source the truth... Flowers

JacquesHammer · 19/01/2020 19:21

One minute I shouldn't next I should

No. Of course you shouldn’t. But it’s interesting how your desire to do so, and your concern about him being married has disappeared.

He’s playing you quite plainly.

Zaphodsotherhead · 19/01/2020 19:23

It's 'curve ball'. There's no such expression as 'kerb ball'. except listed as some kind of street sport.

Sorry. As you were.

Bluntness100 · 19/01/2020 19:41

Where exactly do you think this is going if he is married and lying to uou about it? You can't think he's going to at some point leave his wife and be with you? Even if he's not married, he hasn't even introduced you to his family or friendship circle. He doesn't even want you near where he lives.

So where do you think it's going? Because honestly it's not going any where good.

The kerb/curb/curve ball debates have provided some welcome entertainment

Pinkbonbon · 19/01/2020 21:03

When you kick a ball against a kerb it bounces off in a random, unexpected direction. The original saying might be 'curve ball' but kerb ball works to describe the same unexpected outcome. Maybe its just me and my fellow street rats that use it though lol.
