Been in relationship for a year next month and I go see him every weekend I can cuz of work schedule..he always makes it a point of saying other women are looking at him wanting to talk to him when I'm with him? I have firmly told him go follow your interest in the attention if that's what you want and I'll walk away..each time I go see him it's same thing over and over and I explain to him - it's annoying me but he still does it?? I have never done anything that annoys him- I have helped,support him when he has no job ,food,etc so I don't understand why he does this. Plz reply to help cuz I'm at end of my patience even though I love him

He sounds like an immature twat. What do you love about him?

Venu · 11/04/2024 01:32

Have you asked him why he is telling you this? Do you think he is insecure and feels threatened by you in some way? I’d have to give him an ultimatum of either you keep saying these comments and I will have no choice but to leave the conversation or him altogether.

Deathbyfluffy · 11/04/2024 01:32

Why are you still with him? As a man I usually end up defending some aspect of posts like this, but not this time - he sounds like a loser.

Kind of pisses me off that so many idiots like him get a free ride with a gullible partner whereas a lot of us actually bother to put effort in!

Venu · 11/04/2024 01:37

He does sound a bit immature. How old is he?

WalkWithMeSuzieLee · 11/04/2024 01:56

Because he's a twat.

MonsieurSpade · 11/04/2024 02:00

When he starts on about other women just get up and leave.
And preferably don’t go back.

PBandJ111 · 11/04/2024 05:46

Dump him. He’s a loser

Whatineed · 11/04/2024 05:51

Tell him those women must be curious as to how he managed to snag such a sensational girlfriend.

Then tell him you're dumping him because he needs to work on his insecurity and immaturity.

ChampagneNightmares · 11/04/2024 05:52

It sounds like he's trying to convince you about what an amazing catch be is and how you are so lucky to have him. But seriously, you help him out when he's got nothing and you go to see him every weekend? What are you getting out of this relationship? Have some self respect and recognise you can do better!

'Right' according to what?

If we say it's 'right', will you continue to put up with it? If so, why? If not, what difference does 'right' make?

Watchkeys · 11/04/2024 06:29

Also, why doesn't he have food sometimes? Supporting an adult to that degree would suggest that they can't look after themselves. What's going on there?

GreyCarpet · 11/04/2024 07:51

I agree with pps.

Why is it you doing the travelling to see him? Is this because he doesn't drive or can't afford the transport costs? Or just because he is lazy and so you do all the running around?

Why does he so frequently have no work and is so often unable to provide food for himself that you feel the need to step in and do it for him?

You've only been together for a year!

He is inadequate and is aware of that and so feels insecure. Telling you about other women who find him attractive is designed to make you feel equally inadequate and insecure. It's so he can feel he has the upper hand in this, at least. And it's having the desired effect because rather than focusing on the fact he isn't good enough for you, you're wondering why you aren't good enough for him.

This!
Honestly walk away. The mind games will only get worse.
Plus the fact you've told him repeatedly to stop doing it and he takes absolutely no notice whatsoever.
So he messes with your head, seems incapable of taking care of himself financially, has you doing all the running around, doesn't listen to you or if he does, takes no notice. And has you now doubting yourself.
Next time he does any of those things, get up, get your coat, and just leave.

Next time say - "They're probably wondering what I'm doing with you"

That'll shut him up - If you haven't already dumped him.

SamW98 · 11/04/2024 12:22

So you’ve got yourself a freeloading cocklodger who sees you as a cashpoint.

Why do you go to him every weekend? Does he ever come to you?
Why are you buying him food? Why are you supporting him? And why are you tolerating him playing immature games to make you jealous?

What do you love about this prick?

Word for word this! This should be a public service announcement because it happens so often and I’ve never seen it worded as well as this poster has put it.
