Tent lodger?

[Feelingtents]

I've been dating someone for just shy of 6 months. At first everything was great we got on so well and spent most of our free time together. He said and did all of the right things and we seemed like a great match.

I introduced him to my kids and we have spent days together going to the beach and theme parks.

I've noticed recently that he's started to get more and more short tempered with me.

Fast forward to now. I booked and paid for us to come away camping for a few nights. (not our first time camping together) The first full day here the weather was forecast to be awful. The night before we talked about going sightseeing because of the crappy weather.

The day arrived and I needed to take an important call at 9.30. I had to drive to an area with better signal to take the call.i left him in bed and said bye. When my call finished about an hour later, I called to ask if he'd like me to pick him up some breakfast. He was really angry for waking him up despite having slept for over 12hrs.

When I got back he had a face on. He tried to make breakfast for us both and got irritated that the eggs stuck to the pan, so he hurled the pan out of the tent and stropped back to bed. Where he stayed till after 6pm.

I sat there like a twat reading my book trying to be as quiet as possible. Around 4.30 I went out, leaving him in bed and found a nice place to get something to eat. I'd only been gone a little over 30mins when I got a message from him saying thanks for taking the powerbank with you. After he'd ignored me all day he was now in another strop because I'd took the power bank to charge in the car.

Fast forward to today. We had a lazy morning he didn't get up till after 9 and has had over 12hrs sleep. We went to the beach this afternoon. He went for a dip in the sea and when he got out, he laid down on the blanket. I tried to have a chat with him but he scolded me like a child and said can't I get any peace, you've just woke me up again like you did the other day.

I packed up my stuff and came back to the tent. I've been left him to it on the beach

I'm sick of it being made to feel like I can only talk to him when it's convenient for him.

Am I being an inconsiderate twat and should I have just let him sleep. Or is he being a nob?

Sounds like 6 months too long to me, does he make you happy?

What a prince among men.
You sound lovely. He sounds awful.

Oh he can get in the sea.

Get rid of him, can you go home tonight?

He sounds like a selfish arsehole, dump him you deserve better

My god, being single would be much better than this. How dare he

Just pack your stuff and go.
Surely?

He's very rude. Doesn't sound like someone you'd want to be with. Cut your losses now before you waste more time and emotion.

Pack up and go home. He sounds awful.

Bloody hell. Dump him asap.

If be on my way home leaving a cloud of smoke!

He’s a knob, don’t waste any more time on him.

So he couldn’t keep the Mr Perfect act up any longer and his true colours are shining through?

Why on earth would you tolerate being treated and spoken to like that by a man you’ve only known a few months? Is this really someone you want integrated into your kids lives?

Pack up the tent, go home and bin the twat

Pack up, including the powerbank(!), and leave him. How bloody nasty he is.

Do you want to be with someone who behaves like that on holiday for the rest of your life?

Is he on drugs or something? Why does he sleep for 12 hours?

He should be apologising to you for having to sleep so much.

It’s over isn’t it?

He spent the whole day in a stuffy tent?!! What a twat. Go out and treat yourself to a nice meal without him and leave him to make his own way home.

Showing his true self now he's a bit comfortable.

Personally I'd take this as a big sign he's not a person you want a relationship with - don't waste another 6 months.

Bin him off and do not introduce any man to your children until your boundaries are a lot higher than the sub level they are currently at.
He targeted you deliberately perhaps because you are a single parent.

He sounds like an entitled child (a very bratty one at that). He’s got on my tits and I’ve not even met the man!

Be kind to yourself op. Go and talk to people worth your breath. He’ll just whittle down your self worth.

Does he have any redeeming attributes? I’d be packing up and leaving him to it, take the tent too if it’s yours!

He's testing you to see what you will put up with. I suggest you dump him to show him that you won't put up with a nasty immature twat

I’m confused is it just you two or are your kids with you? That’s shocking 6 months in. There is nothing you have done to warrant that OP

It doesn’t sound like he likes you at all I imagine he is using you at best but for what?
he should be wanting to spend time with you especially at the 6 month mark in the honey moon stage.

It won’t get better that’s for sure.

This behaviour will only get worse. He will suck all the joy n fun out of your life sadly

Honestly this warrants packing up your stuff and leaving him there.

Please, please, please do not stay with this man. He is a dick!!!
Just close your eyes and imagine having a mortgage and two kids with the wanker. If he treats you like this now what would he be like in the future.

OMG @Feelingtents please take a step back.
