He's moving to the other side of the world next week.

We have split, it wasn't a great relationship but had something for sure and good memories.

Hes decided he's moving across the world, plane ticket booked.

I know I'll never see him again but this seems so final, it's like I know he's gone forever from next week.

How on earth can I cope with this?

Haha, I knew from the first post he'd be back, just didn't realise he would be calling you upon landing! And as if he's had "loads of girls after him" - what would this even look like, random girls approaching him in a bar and propositioning him, and he's beating them off with a stick? Yeah, right!

As I live here the girls thing will be true but him turning them down is utter BS. They latch on like leeches and once the money runs out they’re gone. He will have loved his first few days and now it sounds like the bubbles burst. If you take him back of course that’s your business but it sounds to me like he’s the very big loser here and as they say here SOM NAM NA (it serves him right).

Ah right, local girls wanting a "rich" Western husband - yeah, I guess so!

Hes now trying to play it down like it's just a holiday
But he's given up his rental, he has nowhere to live in the UK.

he's had lots of girls after him and turned them down, I should be really pleased about that.
But you've broken up, why does he need to turn these girls down?

He only booked as he was annoyed I booked one with my daughter without him.
So he left the country forever because you booked a holiday with your daughter? What a reasonable reaction.

You really, really need to stop speaking to him. What a complete waste of your time and energy this all is.

MtClair · 12/09/2024 18:08

I would stop communicating with him.
he is deluded

notacooldad · 12/09/2024 18:10

He doesn't want to be with you and has decided to end the relationship so let him go.
I wouldn't want to be with anyone that doesn't want me.
As for seeing him one more time so he can leave on good terms, well that's bollocks. He's just saying that so he can walk away with a clear mind and all is good.
I wouldn't meet up. I'd say that everything is fine and your on good terms anyway so there's no need to meet up.

Oh my god this man is an ARSE.

Look at him heaping all the responsibility for his actions and future happiness on you.

"I'll move back if you give me another chance."
Do what you like. It's not up to me where you live.

"I only did it because you booked a week away with your daughter."
Wow. Stay away from me.

Imho.

Literally never a truer word said!!!

OP please please don’t do this to yourself. There is no future whatsoever here.

ChocoChocoLatte · 12/09/2024 18:36

Oh FFS please see this eejit for what he is.

If someone was treating your daughter like this I'd hope you'd tell her to wise up.

Do yourself a favour and block him & Move on.
