Why is he entertaining her, is it harmless?

My Man had this emotional web situation with this girl back a year ago. They ended up meeting once. He claims they never did anything. This was before I met him, by the way. I heard around that he would call her on blocked numbers every month since then.

I’ve found some texts in his phone which are questionable. About two months ago, they got back into contact. He was sending her messages telling her that she’s still in love with him, like a lot of teasing on his part. She texted him asking for advice regarding a man, and he went off. She’ll block him, then unblock him, and every time she does, he comes running to text her.

Him: “Don’t ever play on my phone like that.”

Him- don’t ever contact me about another man, so and so. He then blows her up like 5 times.

I confronted him about this. He said it was all jokes and how this is how they play. Yet from the texts, he came off very upset and bothered that she was dating other men.

Fast forward to now, I seen they got into an argument and he called her out of her name, vice versa. Then he calls her 5 times. Kept telling her that he knew she was going to unblock him. Then he sent her three voice memos telling her to admit that she misses him, and how he might miss her a little and care for her a little.

Then I seen that he called her at 3 a.m. She cussed him out and told him not to ever call her at that time.

He later on admitted that he only got love for her as a friend. Then I seen messages of him telling her he has feelings for a girl, that he’s pretty much in a relationship, and how his girl goes through his phone and is cool with it, which I’m not.

Him:
“We homies lol.”
“My girl not even tripping fr.”
“She be in my phone, she seen it all.”
“But you know I got love for you (her full name).”

Yet he just blew her phone up two days ago and called her at 3 a.m. last night.

It seems like she contacts him when she’s bored, and they get into these mini arguments, yet he blows her up and gets emotionally involved with it. I know it’s not good, yet I don’t want to end things over something that isn’t serious.

Oh, for goodness sake.

Retiredpartygal · 13/05/2026 03:09

How much more “serious” would it need to get for you to end this? I’m sorry OP but I think you know this isn’t remotely ok.

Iriseee · 13/05/2026 03:43

First post nails it

Sodthesystem · 13/05/2026 04:04

Narcissistic triangulation.

Google it.
And run.

And stop dating men who text other women. Obviously.

What do you meand you aren't sure?

It's not rocket science. You're not even this guys partner amd he's already stressing you out.
And it appears you're...going through his phone?

None of this is normal. From him or from you.

Stay single.

He's a wrongun and tbf you don't sound like you even like yourself because if you did, you wouldn't entertain fboys like him.

This. OP, please have some self respect.

I think he has more feelings for her than you have for yourself.

Get this man outta your life, he adds zero value. Respect yourself girl.

Nain2026 · 13/05/2026 05:39

He’s not the one for you so draw a line and move on. You sound very young and very American. What does ‘we homies’ even mean?

Laiste · 13/05/2026 06:20

He's more into her than you.

Kick his ass to the kerb girl and have respect for yourself.

A man should make you feel like a princess.

IsItWickedNotToCare · 13/05/2026 06:21

Not sure what any of it means 🤣 but if he's in contact with another woman and you don't trust him, it's not going to work between you.

category12 · 13/05/2026 06:24

Stop ✋️

He pretty much stalks this woman by calling her from different numbers and all times of the night? But you're hanging around watching it all and trying to be with him?

Come on now.

Dump the guy.

namechangedforthispo · 13/05/2026 06:26

I’m Gona bet my house that you’re American

Divebar2021 · 13/05/2026 06:29

I hope you’re all American because otherwise the whole conversation is embarrassing.

Do you think relationships are supposed to be this hard and cause so much doubt ?

Safarisagoody · 13/05/2026 06:31

How old are you? This is so childish, and so desperate and clingy of you to try to stay with a man who prefers someone else.

OneRedFinch · 13/05/2026 06:31

Have some self respect.

Makemeinvisible · 13/05/2026 06:44

He's not your Man is he?

It couldn't be more obvious OP that they have feelings for each other.

Let them get on with whatever game they are playing with each other and you move on with your life.

Mummyoflittledragon · 13/05/2026 06:47

Totally not your man. Have some self respect! Block, delete and hold your head up high. Do you know anything about boundaries?

ImDuranDuran · 13/05/2026 08:12

I’m not sure what to do ?

Tell him to go fuck himself?

Wake up, OP. For the love of god.

Kyogo67 · 13/05/2026 08:14

Get a grip seriously. He’s not into you and is wasting your time. You deserve better. Don’t give him any more of your time.

IgnoreIt · 13/05/2026 08:17

Just tell him to go (and) fuck himself. It’s not complicated!

Galaxylights · 13/05/2026 09:14

Why are you entertaining this?

SilverPink · 13/05/2026 09:57

The more teenage speak we get on here, the more I think I’m too old and need to leave 🙄
