I met a man in June... nice slow start. But it's stalled. He never calls...only texts to update me about his latest ailments/bowel movements. He simply can't be arsed. And I don't know why I'm so annoyed. He's rubbish in bed (we have TRIED to sleep together but he gets too hot/tired/it hurts his back etc). His house is filthy. His personal hygiene is bad. I could go on but I'm making myself laugh at how absurd this is. Anyway...I have said to him that this isn't a relationship. There's nothing going on. But he still sends one or two inane texts a day... asking how I am. Should I just ignore or call him and tell him to leave me alone? I feel nothing but a profound sense of disappointment (it's been 20 years since I dated anyone) and irritation. Life's too short! 😂😳

Oh for goodness sake...

Just block him and be done with this farce.

I think you might be annoyed because you've wasted a few precious months with this person. The block option is your friend.

Agree...but he's one if a group of friends I've made. So I will tell him 'I'm done' before blocking. He won't be bothered. That'd require effort. I do feel insulted/disrespected too. But I can do way better. Thank you. 😊

I am laughing out loud...at myself for putting up with this and posting about it. There's worse I haven't shared. I need to work on my self esteem! 😂🙄😳

What are his messages like? “Hi XXX, had a shit, it was a bit runny again. My toe fungus is back. Sex? Oh no, the gout’s seized up my knees again.” Sounds like a right prize

LBFseBrom · 15/11/2022 19:57

Just block him, he isn't worth the effort. There are plenty more fish in the sea.

Seabird888 · 15/11/2022 20:00

Morning, how are you? ( usually sent in the afternoon after he's dragged his rancid arse out of bed)...
I then reply...Afternoon, I'm fine. How are you?
He then replies with...
Oh. No so good. My arse is sore etc. Back hurts. I'm tired etc.

I get chapter and verse.
He's a proper whinger. Just realised I've never had a text to say he misses me. AND FLIRTING? I'd have more chance with a brick wall... just sails over his head...

I have even been really blunt and said I don't need to hear about his bowel movements etc. Or today's list of ailments. But he just carries on. 🙄😂🤣😳😵😱

Sheslikethewindwithnamechanges · 15/11/2022 20:07

Block and delete.

You need to let this dreamboat go and let the rest of us have a chance with him!

icelollycraving · 15/11/2022 20:11

I am wondering why on earth you have been prepared to have sex with a lazy filthmonger who talks shit. Literally. I mean, why? What are his redeeming features?!

Seabird888 · 15/11/2022 20:13

He wasn't this bad three months ago... but he has no redeeming features...which is why I don't understand why I'm so annoyed about the whole farce. I am having a good laugh at all these responses though. A real tonic. Thank you 😊😂🤣😘
