... from guy I've been seeing on and off for a few months. I need to bin him, don't I?

Feel such an idiot for letting myself give a shit about anyone again after divorce .

Did he have anything to say about why you ended things?

MarthasGinYard · 12/03/2020 22:04

Enjoy Saturday with your friends Op

I think that's awful of him, I really do.

You post as though you were half expecting nothing less though.

dangerrabbit · 13/03/2020 07:07

Good for you OP! He plays games. Why was it on and of before?

Iggypoppie · 13/03/2020 08:17

It was on and off because he's self employed and had no work so he cut off contact while he focused on getting work. I didn't hear from him for about 6 weeks. Then he got back and apologised.

He sounds like a self centred knob. Better off without him!! Hope you had a great birthday despite him!

MorningNinja · 13/03/2020 08:21

You're best rid.

Belated birthday wishes to you!

The same happened to me, not as bad though as it wasn't a milestone birthday but was upsetting all the same.

I told myself it takes a certain type of someone to ignore, forget... whatever... your birthday. Shows where you are on their list of priorities.

You truly are better off without him, and deserve so much better.

Happy Belated 40th and enjoy your party tomorrow!

6 weeks and you've only been seeing him a few months!! Wow. Well shot!

Zaphodsotherhead · 13/03/2020 13:46

When someone's birthday is approaching and i know I'm going to be busy, I set up a reminder for the morning of their birthday, just to remind me to drop them a text so they know I am thinking of them.

It's not rocket science. And, since he couldn't even be bothered to do that, you're well rid.

Well done OP. Life begins at 40 for you!! He would only have gotten worse. Onwards and upwards.

Summersunandoranges · 13/03/2020 14:09

Iggy that six weeks he cut contact wasn’t so he could concentrate on work. He was will some one else.

Did you meet him on line by any chance?

stargazer22 · 13/03/2020 14:21
