Signs your long-term relationship is petering out

If your partner of 8 years lives many miles away and when he comes to visit stays a week or so, but ignores you most of the time, does not wish to go out anywhere with you and now claims he can't sleep in the same bed with you because he's become allergic to the perfume you're wearing -when you don't wear any - and also responds to the question, "Are we still a couple or not?" with either, "I refuse to answer that/ I don't want you to know", also does not phone you, takes days to respond to text messages and then only brief/succinct, emails only in response and then never,ever, ever signs off with any sentiments such as miss you, love you, etc. Never sends birthday, Valentine, Christmas cards or presents, claims to be too busy to stay at Christmas, and can't afford to drive down to see you because he's skint, or when he does visit, it might be very irregular such as for a week, then nothing for 6 months, then another few days, then nothing for a couple of months, and you never know when he'll next visit nor will he commit to any kind of regular visits,...

does it means he's just not that into you anymore, his love long since faded, and you're just hanging on out of stupidity? Should you just bear the heartbreak and dump him and find a new man who actually wants to be with you, love you and cherish you?
especially if there's young kdis involved?

I've tried every measure going to keep communication alive in this long-distance relationship and pine for him when he's not here but can hardly bear the anxiety anymore of never knowing when he'll next visit. I'm utterly in love and always have been, so how can I get him to communicate with me and reassure me he still loves and wants me, depite the distance.

I've asked for an occassional "Hang in there, I know you miss me, I'll see you soon" but he refuses to give me even that tiny morsel of reassurance

I'm slowly becoming heartbroken, I feel like the most important relationship in my life is slipping into history.

I think you owe an awful ot of lovely MNetters an apology, what a waste of peoples time all for your own kicks?

I think you need to seek help.

But at Tue 01-Jun-10 14:32:43

you said

'I have to go now baby..thanks all so far'

Because I read and thought poor you you have a baby to deal too and was he even around for the pregnancy and birth.

DanJARMouse · 01/06/2010 21:33

I have reported it to MNHQ strongly advising them to ban this mother fucker for good.

winnybella · 01/06/2010 21:34

Yup, I was right.

You sad person.

SleepyCaz · 01/06/2010 21:35

Oh my bloody God and fuck.

This horribleness makes me want to leave MN. It is just scary and sad.

Fliight · 01/06/2010 21:35

I feel sick.

Tesla · 01/06/2010 21:35

'Actually as soon as I read the OP I knew who you were'

OK Ellie, I believe you...

No apologies, got my money's worth. Honestly, don't you people realise these forums are used to promote advertising within posts and glean stories for the press?

Mumsnet has a reputation for feisty women, but like all women you are all still easily fooled, that never changes.

Quick run off and report me now.

why are you so hateful? Could you not get a life?

I feel desperately sad for you, there's obviously something missing in your life.

You were spotted by Eleanor from the off so what have you achieved? And if you hadn't been spotted what would you achieve then? Fuck all. But, if that's the best of your achievements in life you must be very, very sad.

Fliight · 01/06/2010 21:36

I hope they leave the thread, It should be kept so we can refer people back to it and they can see what a bastard this person is.

He needs banning though.

PortiaNovmerriment · 01/06/2010 21:36

Why report it? This thread should stay as a perfect example of this troll's MO.

Tesla · 01/06/2010 21:36

DanJARMouse You cant ban someone 'for good', different dial-ups and other back door tricks can get you registered time and time againk, Ive been doing it now for around 6 years, it's very profitable in my line of business

what on eart was worth "gleaning" or promoting in this thread?

I think you are just highly emabarrassed you got caught out so easily.

ClaireDeLoon · 01/06/2010 21:37

Mumsnet might have a reputation for feisty women and yes you may be think we're all easily fooled but the majority of posters and supportive and kind. Why you think it is amusing to come laugh at that is beyond my understanding.

Mmmm, yes, this certainly has the glistening sophisticated hall-marks of an elegant marketing device. . .

Tesla · 01/06/2010 21:38

Read the newslink given several posts back, this isnt a 'waste of my time', it's my work, what I get paid for.

Rolls eyes emote again.
Can I go now ladies or are there some more quots you'd like to share with me?

Until next time..

OP posts:
maduggar · 01/06/2010 21:39

so what did you get from this thread?

wukter · 01/06/2010 21:40

You know that Mumsnetters always put out a hand to help someone in trouble. So you got them to do that. That's some achievement.

And, thanks, Dave, we understand how media works. Promoting advertising and gleaning stories was invented before the internet. Now run along, haven't you some revision to be getting on with?

Fliight · 01/06/2010 21:40

How old are you? 15? Have you NO emotional maturity, or decency?
