Hey loves @namechangeforthis5 @Frith2013 and whoever else I can think of.

How we all doing?

I'm having a weird night; I've been drinking and guess what skill it reminded me I've developed: crying out of one eye. It means that people generally don't notice, in the car, or lying on the couch or in bed.

That's sad, isn't it.

Did he say 'I think I was thinking of you' or did he say 'I was thinking of you'?

The second sounds genuine, the first response sounds like he's bullshitting.

The first one. It’s deffo bullshit. Ridiculous line. I just put ok to put a lid on it. And it’s not the full place anyway. Think place name shire.

Stay firm love, you've been really strong and helped me to get to a much better place.

That’s lovely to hear. Oh I definitely will.

lovelymango · 01/08/2024 19:11

I’m actually quite annoyed with him for just thinking he can just play with me like this. What a fucker

WouldUSayImWorthy · 01/08/2024 19:33

Well of course you are, it's childish game playing bullshit!

Only way to win is to gray rock it, which I am currently absolutely nailing 🌟

Frith2013 · 01/08/2024 19:38

The best friend of mine messaged me last night. (He's also an acquaintance of mine).

The message last night was "hi". I ignored it.

Another message this afternoon. "Hi. This is Dave".

I ignored that too.

I think this friend has probably messaged me twice before ever so I'm very cynical about why he's messaging now.

WouldUSayImWorthy · 01/08/2024 19:43

For goodness sake 😆

When they're starved of attention they start to look just a touch pathetic don't they?

Well done. I’ve had a busy day today at work and had to concentrate but it’s made me look at my phone. Not as much as I would’ve normally thought so I’m getting better. I know I replied but I’m really proud of myself for not messaging more. I really wanted to message him again saying why the heck would you do this but I know he would love winding me up. Thank you to you guys x

lovelymango · 01/08/2024 20:03

That should say though not thought

TheWebsFromAllTheSpiders · 01/08/2024 21:52

@Thewookiemustgo
You are so amazingly on point with all your posts, it's unreal! You are so right with all of it, thankyou Brew

WouldUSayImWorthy · 02/08/2024 16:20

Right @lovelymango how you doing??

lovelymango · 02/08/2024 20:13

@WouldUSayImWorthy im doing fine thank you for asking 😊. I appreciate that. I’m still utterly confused by what he sent me that for but if anything it’s made me more determined not to message him. How are you?

WouldUSayImWorthy · 02/08/2024 20:23

I'm fine. Have kept off social media this week which really helps get him out my mind. I actually just logged back in for five minutes and really notice how much my adrenaline kicks in, and my stomach knots.

So that's a great sign to stay logged out the majority of the time.

lovelymango · 02/08/2024 22:41

That’s great and really good you’ve realised that.

WouldUSayImWorthy · 02/08/2024 23:00

Well haha...

Funny you should say that. Have ended up chatting.

Hmm.

lovelymango · 02/08/2024 23:28

Oh what’s happened? You know I was just thinking back to when I first met mine and I thought god he thinks a lot of himself but he insisted I must have fancied him there and then because he did me. His message was making me think of how I thought of him back then. The scales have really fallen from my eyes. But now I just feel guilty for ignoring him 🙈😂

WouldUSayImWorthy · 02/08/2024 23:29

Honestly? He's a bit pissed.

noitsachicken · 03/08/2024 10:39

Can I join?
Feel like a bit of a mess right now and hoping not to be judged! A lot of this thread resonates with me.
I’m unhappy at home, have become close with a friend at work. Nothing other than good/supportive friends, we have lots in common and he’s been a brilliant support. He is a good person. We text and chat a lot, a little flirty at times but usually just general chat/jokes.
He’s on holiday this week, and then I’m on holiday, we are still in touch but less than usual and I’m finding it so hard!
It’s stupid, I’m a sensible grown-up person! But I am finding the thought of not seeing him at work or chatting much really hard to deal with. Feel like a fucking teenager.

Who’s pissed? You know what’s weird. I am actually in the place he text me this weekend and I almost text him to tell him that. Luckily I got distracted but I really wanted to.

lovelymango · 03/08/2024 18:37

@noitsachicken welcome. Sounds like it’s getting a bit dangerous!

HappyLittleNarwhal · 03/08/2024 18:51

@lovelymango he was. But it's fine. Am not that bothered any more. Mostly.

lovelymango · 03/08/2024 19:53

@HappyLittleNarwhal ah ok. Well that’s good. Think we’re both in just about the same place 😊

noitsachicken · 03/08/2024 19:56

lovelymango · 03/08/2024 18:37

@noitsachicken welcome. Sounds like it’s getting a bit dangerous!

I know.
And I’ve tried hard all day not to text him, but gave in about 10 mins ago 🤦🏼‍♀️

Have been following this thread (my own experience I'm through the other side!) but this is shocking!! Is his best friend married too? What awful men they both are probably discussing you like that

lovelymango · 05/08/2024 21:51

Been really wanting to text him today. He’s really played with my head goddammit!

Frith2013 · 05/08/2024 22:01

@Agiftandacurse his friend is not married. When I broke up with my ex (who lived with me), the man I am not contacting AND this friend both texted me with days. Man 1 started off by being pleasant and making me dinner which progressed to a sort of useless relationship.

Man 2 told me he had "always loved me" by text 3 and begged me to drive round that very afternoon! (I didn't and have not messaged him since).
