cross 'nice person' post! Sorry.

duke748 · 07/10/2007 10:11

what has he done?

tiredemma · 07/10/2007 10:16

tosser.

ipodtherforipoor · 07/10/2007 10:18

i have a two year old DS and was single from he was 4months. and for the last 9 months it has been nice having the constant attentions of a loving man, but now I just need my own space and he doent understand. even if we have an afternoon apart he constanly textx or calls asking why I dont love him or why I want to spend time with just DS or with my mum&Dad.

God I sound like a cow - essentially he is nice - but its just so much hard work constantly reassuring him.

I think we have just grown apart, he wants marrige and babies and I think deep down all I want is a "F*%K Buddy"!!

given your reasoning yes that would be a tad harsh to dump by facebook... sorry to be the "nice" person coming along. If he really was an ar$e then of course I would give you my full blessing to cover his wall with expletives and then delete.

fawkeoff · 07/10/2007 10:27

think you should tell him you dont want to see him anymore, he hasnt really done anything horrible to you. sorry for being all nicey but i think you should be decent and end it as nice as poss

ipodtherforipoor · 07/10/2007 10:28

I know that deep down - just needed to get my"eviltwin" out before doing it the nice way

OP posts:

Tell him face to face (or at the very least by phone) and then don't answer texts/calls. It might be uncomfortable but its the nice way to do things.

Honestly, publically calling him a tosser or wanker because he likes you more than you like him? Pretty harsh, don't you think? If it was a guy doing to a girl then we would all be up in arms!

tiredemma · 07/10/2007 10:35

Ipod- I didnt realise it was because he was too in love with you- I thought he had done something awful like slept with your mate etc.

dont think being a bit 'needy' warrants the 'tosser' label.

I retract my advice!

ipodtherforipoor · 07/10/2007 10:44

needy - thats the word!

nightmare situation.

actually he did kiss someone on a night out while I was at home - think thats when the magic died.

looks like I know what to do and just need to do it...

i'd have dumped him then and there. hmmm maybe facebook isn't such a bad idea...

he sounds like a wanker. professes undying love for you but happens to trip and fall on the lips of some floosy. well, i never!

madamez · 07/10/2007 11:00

Depends. Are you anxious that he'll wig out completely when you chuck him, maybe throw plates or come at you with a gun? Becasue it is, just, sort of, possible that you're slightly uneasy about all this bleating, slobbering, undying love he professes (it would creep me out).

IF he's just a harmless wet wuss then the ethicla thing to do would be to meet him in a public place, tell him nicely without making loads of excuses, then walk off without a backward glance.

If you do feel the need to be ever so slightly wicked, use one or all of the following in your exit speech:

@it's not you, it's me'
'You're a lovely man and one day you'll meet the right person'
'I just need some space'

duke748 · 07/10/2007 11:06

Sorry, I feel the need to defend this guy - its not bad to be in love after 9 months, is it? Its not like its only 9 days!

It seems over the top if the texts/call are that frequent - but what person hasn't done that when they feel the other person sliping away?

I won't try to defend the kissing someone else bit though - seems strange for someone who professes to being in love!

Once you've got this sorted let the next guy you just want a f**k buddy - am sure that there are plenty of guys who would be happy with that and then it will save all this hassle.

ipodtherforipoor · 07/10/2007 11:51

what do you say to "i'll change" "give me a chance" " you can have space"

feel like a proper bitch

'I'm sorry but I've made up my mind. Bye'
