You found out he had taken another women’s number and called / contacted her the days after? I found out and his excuse was she put the number in his phone and he was calling her to let her know he wasn’t interested 🙄 I know, I know!

This was last year but I just feel I can’t trust him again after this.

Dump him for the lamest excuse ever when caught out. That's just ridiculous. I am sorry x

SandyY2K · 14/09/2020 16:29

I would also be angry that he thought I was foolish enough to believe that excuse.

Why wasn't telling this woman that he has a GF and doesn't want her number an option?

If he's doing this now before serious life stresses come along...like babies, financial issues...family illness etc.... what are the chances he will be dedicated and faithful in challenging circumstances.

A relationship on a shaky foundation will always be wobbly.

Nope not at all. I'm at an age now where, imo, relationships shouldn't be difficult, if they are difficult or you are confused then something isn't right so stop wasting your own time and walk away.

TruffleMama · 14/09/2020 16:49

Absolutely no way would I trust this man.

I wouldn't waste another second of my life with him. Walk away now and don't look back.

His "excuse" is pathetic!

I'm in a relationship and I wouldn't let another man put his number in my phone. In fact, they wouldn't get close enough to me or my phone to be able to do it.

And even if, by some miracle, they managed to get their number into my phone somehow.. I certainly wouldn't be ringing them to tell them I'm not interested. I'd block the number and then delete it! That is the best way of indicating to someone that you're not interested!

No I wouldn't.

CuntyMcBollocks · 14/09/2020 18:01

Thats a hard NO from me.

TheFormerPorpentinaScamander · 14/09/2020 18:03

Nope.
My ex did this, told me he had her number for my brother who's battery had died on their night out. I deleted it 'just in case'
A year later he ended things (9 year relationship, engaged with 2 dc). 6 weeks after that he introduced the DC to his new 'friend' who had the same name. Coincidence? I think not!

Plussizejumpsuit · 14/09/2020 18:05

Sorry no. He's fucked up and he's lied about it, so double the lies.

EKGEMS · 14/09/2020 19:13

I've got a bridge in Brooklyn I want to sell to you... I cannot imagine anyone begging enough to keep me around after that load of BS! The front door works both ways-you can leave just as well as entering!

conduitoffortune · 14/09/2020 19:17

Absolutely not

I'm a Nigerian prince down on my luck. Can you help ?

That is about the level of credulity he grants you with.

Opentooffers · 14/09/2020 19:24

If your not sharing a mortgage yet, just dump, it's not worth the worry.

Skyla2005 · 14/09/2020 19:39

What an insult to your intelligence He wants to play away so make it away for him and ditch him

Would you like me to send you £5,000? Grin

Sorry, for the derail, but that made me chuckle!

OP, you know it was a lame excuse and that’s why it still plays in your mind.

I would say apart from the obvious betrayal, the fact that he appears to think so little of you to come out with such verbal diarrhoea is a concern and is almost like he feels he’s been able to ‘hood wink’ you.

Not a good basis for a relationship. Sorry OP Flowers

Skyla2005 · 14/09/2020 19:40

Easy that should say !

BlueThistles · 14/09/2020 20:48

Nope

VeganVeal · 14/09/2020 21:11

LTB, he doesnt respect you, he wanted more than he is letting on, he would defiantly shag her
