I have namechanged in case the receiver of the email happens to come across this, and it is also quite personal.

I had a few dates with this guy a few weeks ago, and we ended up sleeping together, he had said all the right things and seemed to really want to have a relationship with me.
As soon as I slept with him he didn't seem to want to know.

The next day after he stood me up he spoke to me and said he had felt sick and hadn't slept all night, so i said he should go to bed and have some pepto-bismal, he told me to shut up and stop telling him what to do, I then asked him if he was being serious, he said yes, it's annoying.

I told him to have fun then didn't speak to him again.

Today I had a knock on the door when i was putting my DS to bed and I opened it, and there he stood, looking really sad, saying he wanted to chat.

I am really worried about getting into another abusive relationship and don't want to persue this 'relationship' any further, but when he was at the door i agreed that he could come over on thursday, and now i need to write him an email to say he can't come.

I need to make sure he gets the right message, i don't want to let him think that there is any hope for us.

Anyway, here is what i have.

Hi, 

I don't really understand why you came over earlier?

After our dates, that I thought was going really well, I ended up giving myself to you, something that I don't just go around doing, and felt as though that as soon you had 'accomplished' me you seemed to go off the boil. You made me feel as though you liked me more than that!

The fact the you didn't come around that nice didn't bother me, we all have things that come up etc, it was the way that you spoke to me afterwards, and like I mentioned in passing my last relationship was a very abusive one that turned very violent, it started out as me getting spoken to like that.

I also don't understand why you haven't tried to contact me in the last fortnight to just turn up on my doorstep?

Anyway, I am just emailing you because I don't actually want you to come over on Thursday, I just found it hard to say to you face.

But I do wish you the best for the future x

How about, " I am sorry to tell you but i do not want you to come around on Thursday. I was actually annoyed by the way you spoke to me that day after you stood me up, and having not contacted me for a fortnite , out of the blue you turn up on my doorstep. I just didnt have time to think straight when you were on the doorstep and on reflection i think its best we do not continue anything." Please do not contact me again. Bye."

He sounds a real git and not rite at all.... and his reaction to you telling him to take some medicine isnt right... he is horrible and sound like my Ex....who could get nasty. Dont go there NEEDEMAIL...he is very dodgy !!

yes, stay strong and be prepared for him to be rude when you reject him....and if he does get rude then you know exactly the sort of person he is....not nice.

I would do as minaloy has said

firm, polite and no real way for him to edge back in

you don;t want him to be able to turn up with flowers and apologies and reel you back in

just a good strong 'byeeeeeeeee'

and chalk it up to experience

maltesers · 09/07/2009 12:33

Sweet of you NEEDEMAIL to say best wishes for the future to this guy.....but I dont think this type of guy will have it very good if he treats ladies like that!!

Sorry for not updating, the thread had gone down to the bottom of threads i'm on and I forgot about it

I couldn't get my sister to come on thursday because she was visiting her FIL(to be) in hospital, So I just stayed upstairs all night in case he turned up, which he didn't (phew)

Luckily he is moving out of the area in threee weeks, probabily less now, so the chances are I won't bump into him again now
