Got a feeling he’s going to end things…am I being crazy?

I’ve been seeing someone for eight months and thought it was going well. A few days ago we went to an adult panto together and he met my friends and family and I his. It was lovely. We are both 29. He even made a joke about our wedding day when we were at panto which is why I’m now confused/

We usually message throughout the day on WhatsApp. It’s how we communicate the most. I last saw him on the 23rd in person and he hasn’t replied since then but has been on WhatsApp loads. I’ve sent him Merry Christmas today and had zero reply but he’s been on instagram posting his Christmas and has been on WhatsApp a lot. (I stupidly keep checking if he’s replied and it’s always he was online 20 mins ago for example)

I know I’m going to sound a psycho but I have a gut feeling he might be messaging someone else. I don’t know why even, there’s zero evidence of this- it’s just the past week or so, he’s been on WhatsApp a lot especially in the early mornings when he didn’t use to. I know I sound crazy.

I even messaged him earlier and said “Did you like the present I got you?” And nothing. I’m not going to message again, but it’s making me feel a little down! I don’t expect him to drop his festivities to pander to me of course- just a reply would be nice😂

Oh my god what a massive bell end he is! You sound like a switched on lady and it will sting but you know he's ultimately done you a favour. I agree, the best revenge is living well. Dust yourself down, gather your dignity and move on with your head high.

That's hard. I'm sorry.

My ex was a copper and a serial cheat too. He had a bloody affair with a victim he busted. Outrageous.

Ouch, that must really sting. However someone who can ghost and chest is not someone you want s long term relationship with. Imagine having kids with him, then finding out his true colours. It doesn't feel like it right now, but in 5 years time if you look back, you will feel relieved you didn't end up with him. Be kind to yourself now, and the raw feelings will pass in time.

I agree. Thank god you can walk away from this inadequate man without the added grief of divorce, access to children etc.

I do feel there is something seriously wrong with someone who can ghost a person they're in a loving, well-established relationship with. It's not like changing his mind after 2 or 3 weeks dating. Now he's someone else's problem.

Best wishes for the future, OP.

They don't say "join the force, get a divorce" for nothing.

I dated a copper once. Never again.

Chin up. Onwards and upwards OP

Sorry op. I worked with someone whose husband is police and has had several affairs. He actually met her in the police but she left to have their kids. Then he just carried on cheating with other women there...
must be something in the water !
