Author a.girl.who.loves.dog Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Him calling you toxic & controlling is a problem. If he can't see why you would be upset that he's hanging out with somebody he's seen naked, he's not a very caring BF. If he so much had offered to dial it back or did anything to reassure you, I might suggest that you give him a chance but because he jumped all the way to this is solely your problem because you need to trust him more, tells me he may be untrustworthy because he is not being receptive to how you feel or working with you to come to a compromise. Let her have him. Walk away. I told him no one-on-one interactions at all after we had a bit of an incident and made boundaries more clear. He said that he understood that and has since not crossed that line. However, when I indicated that she has no place in his life and should drop her entirely, he seemed like he couldn't bear not having her in his life for God knows what reason....

d0nnivain Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 If he is no longer seeing her one on one, that is something. I'm still not thrilled that he was so adamant about this. Your only choices are accept it or walk. It's entirely up to you. Neither is wrong. If you feel disrespected & you stay anyway, then it's your own fault. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Kitty Tantrum Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 What kind of guy sneaks over to visit some "fat hoe" and give her one of his hoodies if they're not banging? Doesn't matter if he doesn't want to DATE her, plenty of guys will have sex with women they'd never date. And lie about it to their girlfriends. I don't believe his story. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

preraph Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Look, you have a guy here who isn't invested enough in your relationship to even give up a woman he disparages. What does that say about what he thinks about you or what he thinks about the relationship? You have a one-way relationship. It's not acceptable. It's a waste of time. If you put up with it and end up pregnant you're stuck with this for life. Find someone who wants a real relationship. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Normm Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 he hasn't since then done any stupid move like that... so I don't know now.

She came back & he's sitting there acting clueless like you should be happy he tried to accommodate you. Face it. She means more to him then you do.

Author a.girl.who.loves.dog Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 so in speaking to him last night, he states that I have never actually given her a chance, tried to meet her, and if anything she's the victim in all of this. as he claims, she's only said things such as, "she's such a nice girlfriend ____, don't cheat on her" or "she's sooo nice, don't loose her" showing complete support for our relationship, and that I am always the one showing skepticism for her, stating that me wanting him to cut her off his toxic of me.... does he even have the slightest valid point?

Kitty Tantrum Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 No. His behavior is not allowing you to give her a chance because he is not setting appropriate boundaries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 He sort of has a valid point but he needed to have started with that point & introduced you to her a long time ago. I had a great guy friend that I worked with. We spend a lot of time together. At various points I was his wing-woman & his confidence builder. There was never anything between us except friendship, although one time while out I asked him to hold my hand & pretend to be my BF because some guy I couldn't shake from a bar the weekend before who wasn't taking no for an answer was walking towards us. lol Anyway when he met the woman who is now his wife, he talked too much about me. I demanded to meet her but he took his sweet time in introducing us & it made her insecure. I was immediately able to reassure her & they have been married for almost 20 years now. I'm still better friends with him then her or even them but she knows that he & I are only friends. In your situation he was callous about your feelings & tried to blame you. That behavior more so then this OWs presence is the crux of the problem at this point. It she is so wonderful & so supportive of your relationship, you should have met her a long time ago so you could assess their interactions for yourself. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 does he even have the slightest valid point? He does if his goal is to continue to rationalize her presence in his life. as he claims, she's only said things such as, "she's such a nice girlfriend ____, don't cheat on her" or "she's sooo nice, don't loose her" showing complete support for our relationship How does she know any of this unless he's been discussing your relationship with her?

How does she know any of this unless he's been discussing your relationship with her? Mr. Lucky well, she knows about me for two simple reasons, a). I tried to get to know her myself until I just couldn't stand talking to his side hoe anymore and b). when they've spoken on the phone, at times I've come up in conversation Link to post Share on other sites

It she is so wonderful & so supportive of your relationship, you should have met her a long time ago so you could assess their interactions for yourself. my issue stems from this, now that people say it, their "friendship" was based on f.w.b., and that makes their past something more disturbing than what you had. for you two, the platonic friendship was just that, a platonic friendship... for them, they took it to the next level and want to downplay how big of a deal it is... on another note, I have voiced to him that I will never be keen to seeing her face, whilst it may sound bitchy and harsh, our time together since we're long distance is already at a premium and the last thing I'm trying to do is see his side hoe just so he can force a friendship between us.

preraph Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 honestly, that is an argument I have posed to him multiple times, if she was literally your side hoe because all you wanted was attention, why are you struggling oh so much to drop her...? he just says that I can't control who his friends are because that is toxic, quite ironic if you ask me, but I dunno. The root of the problem is he does not want a working partnership. He wants to have a woman around to have sex with or whatever, but he doesn't want the part about working together to play fair and get along. He probably has a chip on his shoulder about being told what to do. Is it just women, or it is authority (boss, police, parents) too? He's not bending at all to be with you. And that is no who you want long-term. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
elaine567 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 This is madness. You are in LDR with a guy who has by what you say a "side hoe". If that is true, what on earth are you doing? Have you no self respect? You are wasting your time, find some decent man who lives local to you who is not spending his time carrying on with his "side hoe" and expecting you to put up with it... 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I don't wonder why he's so interested in a relationship with her. I DO wonder why, given all the obvious red flags, you're so vested in an unhealthy relationship with him ?

Author a.girl.who.loves.dog Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 So guys, not like it matters much anymore at this point, but thought I might as well inform you with the most recent and last development on this situation. we broke up. While I am sad I wasted a year and three months with such a manipulative guy who treated our relationship like a meer game, I learned a lot of what not to do from this first, serious relationship of mine and feel so relieved I was able to cut things off before it was prolonged. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. Lucky Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Well, now you know. I remember reading once "experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward". Hopefully you'll have better boundaries in your next relationship... Mr. Lucky 1 Link to post Share on other sites
preraph Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Really sorry for you. I have an ex who would always defend women who were manipulating him and it's been decades and he still does to this day. His wife told me about it after he sent money to one who lied and manipulated and eventually cost me my job because two men including him believed her "sucking up" idolatry of them and needed that validation to the point they blew off their most trustworthy people. Some guys need validation that bad that they will just justify and make excuses. They may never learn. Mine didn't. Link to post Share on other sites
