If your Ex said this to you...

[dollface19]

.. if you don't forgive me I will be dating other women then!

Back story: Together 5 years, committed relationship. Was found texting an old work colleague(woman) arranging to meet up for a meal out alone one evening, and lied about it. Wasn't sorry as she was 'just a friend'.
Decided he didn't want to be around anymore so just disappeared for 4 weeks, no care. Then after I took no more n gave up finally getting in contact& decides he wants me back and he's 'changed'

I'm very hurt & angry even now after 2 months. I don't see any positive changes. Attitude is swell the same. He then said in a few weeks he can't wait anymore and will start dating again

I'd assume he already is and always would be.

I wouldn’t even respond ignore, block, be grateful you got rid.

I’m confused... is he an ex or not? It reads as if he disappeared for 4 weeks with no contact and then came back and you took him back? Or is he hanging around hoping you’ll take him back ? In any case following that stunt the only sane response to that comment is “ Do what you want I’m not interested “ but I suspect that’s not the road you’re going to take.

He ‘changed’ because you were prepared to walk away. And now, because you’re not falling back into line as quickly as he’d like, he’s giving you an ultimatum.

If you go back, you’ll be kicking yourself within the year.

Tell him to crack on with it then...
He wants you back as he obviously hasn’t found any better offers (sorry!) he doesn’t care about you and sounds like a very nasty specimen. He’s trying to blackmail you into getting back with him - what he should be doing, if he really cared, is apologise profusely and give you time and space. I’d cut off contact with him and move on.

Let him crack on.

Dick.

Ignore, move on. He's a self centred prick. Have a happy life without him.

two words... Good Bye

He’s not committed five years ago or now. You’re better off without him!

Cut ties and let him drift on.

Omg. Wish him good luck on line and let the door slam on his arse

Ignore & move on.

I made the mistake of not ignoring one who did very similar. BIG mistake. You're already part way over the break up, just roll with it & forget about him

Tell him "you always were, byeeeee", and blocked.

life is to short,you have to give ather fishes in the sea chanse.

Yep. Ignore and block.

Agree with ignore and block.

I get the feeling you're not 100% certain about cutting him off but you already know he's a cheat

He thinks he is god's gift. He thinks you are a desperate doormat. He thinks you are having a temporary hissy fit. He has got bored of waiting for you to get back in your box so is putting time pressure on you.

I suspect you cave to him on crap quite often which is why he is so blasé about it all, assuming you will soon stfu and stop being a killjoy.

Are you going to roll over?

ANd I would be saying off you go then, and then block him on e etuthing and get on with my own life

I'd tell him to date who he wants, he's not husband material for sure.

He's not a keeper no.

You'll be glad you let him go.

Leave him.
He’s not good enough for you. He’s a two timing rat bag.
The only bag you need to be getting involved with is the one you will put his belongings into to return to him. Mind n get your keys back or change your locks if you think he may have made a copy of your key.
He had his chance. He blew it.

Tell him ‘good, who’s the unlucky lady?’

He thinks too much of himself. The arrogance is astounding. What a twat!

I called him up on it
He said he's sorry he didn't mean it
He doesn't want anyone else and said it out of hurt

What an idiot I've been x

So, do you mean you believe him or do you mean you don't?
