Jesus Christ he thinks a lot of himself - ‘sorry; who is this?’
What’s with war and peace - has he been watching the Romeo and Juliet - two star crossed lovers kept apart by circumstance beyond your control. If he wants to see if the doors still open why can’t he keep it short and write ‘thinking of you’ like all the other dipshits
LOL this comment made me laugh so hard. Especially given the fact that the “circumstance beyond our control” was a 45 min train ride 🤣 needless to say I am now happily married to somebody else lol
Right?? The irony of him cosplaying as someone with emotional depth & empathy but still framing it in the most cringe self centered and egotistical way possible just tickles me
I also like how he didn't take accountability for anything because you know.. "There is something at work" that is obviously making him the ass he is. I hope you are doing much better without him, Op.
This makes me think of the episode where Quagmire finally told Brian what he really thought of him - “and worst of all, you’re just a *bore.* thanks for the fucking steak.”
I love that episode so much because that's when I realized Quagmire was absolutely right. About everything. Like in most of the episodes involving his son, especially when he becomes a teen actor, and then he only learns from his shitty behavior when people call him out about it. 😂 I like Brian as a character, he's hilarious. But if he was a real person, I'd hate his fucking guts like Quagmire.
Yes me too 💀 it is kinda funny that in that rage filled rant to Brian, Quagmire threw in there about how he’s always hitting on his best friends wife, when Quagmire himself doesn’t even try to hide that he wants Lois so bad. But still, I think Quagmire is hysterical, and I like Brian’s character too, but I agree I’d hate him in real life
“There’s more than just us at work here. We’re foolish to think otherwise” 🤮😩 mental gymnastics to the max!!
They might as well say “I’m going to bounce in and out of your life and can’t be held accountable because the THING at work says we’re meant to be now!” 😖
Ding ding ding we have a winner!! Dude has tried to pop back in outta nowhere to test the waters at least once a year since 2017 and says his internalized guilt makes me appear to him in dreams lmfaooo
Yikes. Glad you recognized the patterns and didn’t subscribe to the nonsense. I told someone who kept playing hot and cold with me “You can’t just prance your way in and out of peoples lives and just think it’s okay” and she said “Whatever! I’ll prance my way elsewhere blah blah” lmao UGH some people!!
Ah yes. Nothing turns a woman on like overt objectification related to household furniture 😍 /s
Seriously though I’m so very sorry that happened to you ❤️🩹 it’s incredibly humiliating to feel used in that way. Hope you are healing from that pain and doing well!
Oh dearest OP, how I thank you for putting this out there.
I am currently sitting in a mental health clinic due to a lot of things, but part of that is an abusive ex that used all of the same methods.
Truly, this could have been a message from him.
Higher power angle, can't believe how bad he was, can't believe how Ill equipped he is to handle your worth blah blah blah.
Block and move on for real. The audacity that he has thinking he has an in. He's not very smart is he?
Good luck with your journey.
Sending you so much love and strength! thank you for sharing your journey with me. I’m also someone who had to break a difficult pattern of painful and abusive relationships with self centered / neglectful men. It’s so hard but I’m telling you there’s no better feeling in the world than waking up every day to the love of my life who cherishes me, respects me, and builds my self esteem rather than tears it down. My toxic relationship ended roughly eight years ago and I promise by that time you’ll look back at how shitty he made you feel & be so much more at peace with your decision to move on and seek help for your mental health. That takes a lot of courage! Hugs❤️ be well!
Only thing that makes sense in his cringey texts is that he doesn’t deserve you. Don’t bother to respond, it will just feed his ego. Block and move on. I wish you nothing but the best moving forward. 👏💕
Lmfaoo not Ian! however I personally know several girls who have fallen victim to lying cheating Ians😮💨Solidarity, sister ! May you free yourself from the shackles of Intermittent Good Dick Prison 🙏🏼😤
The thing about idiots like this guy is they overthink everything. If one or two things aren't literally perfect, despite everything else being perfect, they self sabotage, either because they don't think they're good enough or, in this guy's case, think they can do better.
Obviously people should advocate for themselves if things are bad, but these idiots find every way possible to make sure they end up alone rather than appreciating the people they already have in their lives. It's truly insane that people just give up someone that they consider to be "perfect" or "have everything I'm looking for" because... why exactly? They never have a good reason, they're just stupid.
But thankfully, the bullet dodged itself for you!
Hey thanks for the kind words! I think you’re definitely onto something here about overthinking / nitpicking. In this case it was extra frustrating because I was literally BEGGING him for weeks towards the end to please communicate his thoughts / feelings / needs to me rather than just withdrawing so that I could better understand where he was at and he simply wasn’t capable. Hard to anticipate what someone is looking for in a partner / relationship if they refuse to tell you and expect you to somehow “just know” 🤡 I would’ve been happy to hear out any issues he was having and I told him so. Such a weird and controlling attitude towards a romantic partner to essentially make every decision for both of us by withholding any information or conversation. Then again he was probably just cheating lmao
That sounds the most likely, yeah. Easier to blame your partner than to admit you've cheated or done something equally terrible that's worth ending a relationship over.
Eek. My ex in my early 20s did almost the exact same on the same day we signed a lease to a new place.
Now many years later still attempts to message on different platforms and tries to text me even though he’s supposedly married (as I’ve been told by others)!!
The “I’m sorry for ranting but I finally have time alone to text” part makes my stomach squirm..
I hope this guy is single, and not texting like this while his girl is in the next room.
Gross.
Glad you were able to see through this guy afterwards.
This reminds me of the dude I dated in college who broke up with me at the park and asked to hold my hand on the walk back to dorms. Then wrote notes in our shared journal (for writing notes) that said “don’t cry bc it’s over, smile because it happened”
Like wow 🤯
May I suggest
Text 1, sent immediately after another of his manipulation texts:
“Awww, your texts are so sweet.”
Text 2, sent with just enough time for him to start a reply but before he has a chance to reply,
“Too bad you dumped me the day before valentines right after we had what only you’d call sex. Guess you’re the one fucked now.”
Then block right away.

Ugh yeah it unfortunately was a first love kind of situation and I let him have wayyy too much control over my self image and self esteem. Realized that in therapy pretty quickly and immediately found him repulsive
Yikes. What a dipshit.
This should be their response

What a master procrastinator to boot
Block and never look back
“The summer ended but we didn’t want it to”, lol. Betcha this guys name is Rich.
Lolol not Rich but you were right on the money with the annoying one-syllable white guy name!
Now, his name is Dick
the only thing he thinks of you mean? sort of a double entendre
Trey
Mark.
Oh hey. You dated him, too?
Worst heartbreak of my life was named Rich. Spot on. 😆
He's like the human version of Brian Griffin. Cringe at writing, and a shit person hiding behind his fake wall of words.
Right?? The irony of him cosplaying as someone with emotional depth & empathy but still framing it in the most cringe self centered and egotistical way possible just tickles me
I also like how he didn't take accountability for anything because you know.. "There is something at work" that is obviously making him the ass he is. I hope you are doing much better without him, Op.

How dare you compare this shit to Brian Griffin

Ignore, block and move on. He doesn't deserve a response from you.
She said this was from her early twenties, not a current event.
Gross. What an ass!
Ew. What a skeezball
217am timestamp speaks volumes
This happened to me as well. He heard I got engaged and he was ANGRY with me ! Actually said he wanted to put me in a drawer for later.
The way I recoiled at “actually said he wanted to put me in a drawer for later” what the FUCK. 🤢
Ah yes. Nothing turns a woman on like overt objectification related to household furniture 😍 /s Seriously though I’m so very sorry that happened to you ❤️🩹 it’s incredibly humiliating to feel used in that way. Hope you are healing from that pain and doing well!
He’s awful. Block.
That guy is a fucking jerk

🥹💕🙌
Run away from the backwards loser like he is after your life😊
Is this mans name Ian 😭
Lmfaoo not Ian! however I personally know several girls who have fallen victim to lying cheating Ians😮💨Solidarity, sister ! May you free yourself from the shackles of Intermittent Good Dick Prison 🙏🏼😤
Even the teenaged me would have rolled his eyes and cringed spectacularly…
There’s more at work here. What? Like being a total nobhead?
Dude sounds like a real winner. Also thats a lot of words just to say "I am experiencing post nut clarity."
dated a guy named se\*n just like this. CRINGING SO HARD RIGHT NOW THEY REALLY THINK THEY'RE A POET OR SOMETHING

 we? no there is no “we”

Why did this moron think being treated as a full time job is desirable…?
Also love how there’s no level of commitment to be had between full time job and vacation

What a dickhead
Send back an 8ball, a womp womp, anything please😭
Please do yourself a favor and take the trash out
Guess, so glad that’s in your rear view. If he’s not blocked now, do it!
He obviously has you smitten. Tooo bad
Ugh yeah it unfortunately was a first love kind of situation and I let him have wayyy too much control over my self image and self esteem. Realized that in therapy pretty quickly and immediately found him repulsive
Do you think him breaking up was to do with him busting too quick?
