Is he an arsehole? Or am I being a fool?

We have had a on/off thing for a while but it's off now.
I wanted a relationship and he wanted to sleep with anything with a pulse,he didn't care what they looked like,if they were married etc.
He would even flirt with men if they showed him attention.
He told me he wanted no ties etc
This is what wound me up..
He said "Louise" (his daughter ) told me I need to knock this on the head and finally settle down and stop being so wild.
So I responded "yes Louise is very sensible for her age,you are wild and you deffo need to settle down"(him knowing I had wanted that for so long )
He replied "so I'm now going on a date next week"
I said "a date ? We are in lockdown,I thought you didn't date?"
He said a socially distanced walk in the park and he wasn't even looking forward to it..I asked why he was going and he said Louise has spoken.
A week later we were texting and he said he was getting ready to go out,I asked him was it his date and he didn't reply.
1 min later he writes on Facebook
"Off for my date,me being me we will be checking in at New York tomorrow,can't wait"
Then on this "date" posting pics on Snapchat of him and this woman (it's a woman he told me had been after him for a year and he didn't fancy her and she was annoying)
After the date he said "I didn't like her,not to worry two more dates next week,don't be jealous tho"
I didn't reply
Is he a arsehole for rubbing it in my face like this?

Yes to both he's an asshole and you are a fool for allowing him to treat you like that

herecomestreble · 21/01/2021 10:15

Of course he's an arsehole. Don't let yourself be treated this way, block and move on.

timeforachange33 · 21/01/2021 10:17

Why do you want to date a loser? You need to find your self esteem.

Theunamedcat · 21/01/2021 10:17

Yes he is an arsehole block him

pog100 · 21/01/2021 10:18

If it's off why are you in any sort of communication with him at all. I mean he is obviously an immature arsehole but he has no power over you if you just ignore. Why on earth are you finding it necessary to write about some blokes dates, who you aren't with?

Sn0tnose · 21/01/2021 10:19

You are torturing yourself. He’s considering a serious, proper, settling down relationship and he STILL isn’t choosing you.

You have a choice. You can either cut him out of your life completely and start living as though you’re the star of your own show, rather than a bit part actor in his, or you can carry on being used for sex when nobody better is around, only for him to drop you whenever someone else comes along. Do you want the pain to stop now? Or in ten years time when your life choices are drastically reduced? 💐

nimbuscloud · 21/01/2021 10:19

Do you need to ask?

Prettybubblesintheair · 21/01/2021 10:20

Yes he’s an arsehole. Have you posted about this before?

AussieGrrl · 21/01/2021 10:20

You both want different things so you would be a fool to keep seeing him

user1174147897 · 21/01/2021 10:21

Why are you still going with this? How many hundreds of threads and hundreds of people telling you to walk away?

SapatSea · 21/01/2021 10:23

You let him treat and speak to you like that, for real???

Come on, if this is for real then you need to delete his number, delete him off all your SM and get yourself some counselling.

gannett · 21/01/2021 10:24

Yes to both questions. Block him already.

sickofit39 · 21/01/2021 10:24

Omg .. this is shocking!
Are you really putting up with this ? Seriously??
Block him immediately he's an arsehole x100 .
What a self entitled twat . Why would you settle for a prick like this ???????
Ask yourself that ,find the answer ,work on yourself and dump his useless ass for good . No contact.

TheFlis12345 · 21/01/2021 10:26

Why are you still talking to him and bolstering his over inflated ego further by giving him attention?!?Confused

MrsWindass · 21/01/2021 10:26

You are letting him do this to you . FGS block him and stop looking at him on SM.

Bananalanacake · 21/01/2021 10:28

Good he's an ex now

Heybeendyingtomeetyou · 21/01/2021 10:38

Both.
Block and move on.

Itstimetoquit · 21/01/2021 10:38

He's a piece of shit,move on,block him x

Triffid1 · 21/01/2021 10:38

well, he's an arsehole. But why are you still engaging with this man? He told you he didn't want a relationship - at all AND/OR with you so why are you still hanging about?

ScaredOfDinosaurs · 21/01/2021 10:39

Someone said on another thread I read earlier (sorry can't recall the poster's name).. people can't treat you as a doormat unless you paint "welcome" on your back and lie down on the floor for them.

Suggest wiping the paint off and standing up. Just block the twat already, he is toying with you and you are letting him.

ALittleBitConfused1 · 21/01/2021 10:47

He sounds like a bit of a twat. But people can only treat you like shit if you let them.
If he wanted to settle down he would have done so by now, either with you (or someone else). You move forward doing you, let him do his thing. It's that simple.

CaMePlaitPas · 21/01/2021 10:51

No OP this isn't a perfectly acceptable way to treat someone. Grow yourself a backbone and disengage.

mylovelydd · 21/01/2021 10:52

Please just block him. He's vile and has a shit attitude towards women. He won't improve and you deserve more. So many good men out there, throw this one back into the sea.

seensome · 21/01/2021 10:53

He's an arsehole and you are a fool to still be in touch with him, he's not interested in a relationship with you or anyone it seems, leave him him to it! it doesn't do you any good knowing all about his dates. Move on..

Terracottasaur · 21/01/2021 10:58

You’re a fool for not blocking his number
