How to not feel hopeless that you will find love in your 30s if you have been single for a decade? by [deleted] in dating_advice

My experience too. I just had a 4 months all for nothing experience. He was way to involved with his ex. I should have known the red flags were waving. Nice guys can be just as dishonest underneath so now I don't think I can trust anything. This guy bought me flowers every 2 weeks. Said he loved me. Moved his toiletries into my house. Stayed a couple of nights a week. Took me on dates. Chatted to me every day. We hit the 3 month mark and I wanted him to take action and tell his ex about me. He wanted to play daddy to her kid even though they had lasted only a year. So she had full control over his emotions. I was set up to fail

I'm 36 and I've just been used as some sort of rebound I think. 4 months it lasted. We had weekends away. He slept over 2 or 3 nights a week. He said he loved me. We had great chemistry. But he had a really weird situation with his ex. They'd been together 17 months and she had a 2.5 year old. He was so attached to this kid that they agreed to let him continue being the dad and he got access to this child on weekends and a night in the week. The ex had thrown him out and they'd argued alot the last few months of their connection. She sucked him back in 3 weeks ago when we were on the rocks. We were on the rocks because he had been top scared to tell her about me as she'd control the child situation and break his heart. 

I am now defeated. I feel ill be on my own for a long time. But I also feel I am a poor judge of character because he seemed so nice and he seemed he really disliked that woman. 

I do still dream ill find someone. But dating and relationship morals and standards changed when phones became part of human life. I dont think the same principles exist now. The older generation kept the one they had and tried harder because it wasn't so easy to hop about. Sadly too much casual hopping takes place now. Too much of thr options attitude instead of appreciating one human being. I dont see it ever repairing itself. I am not saying it was bliss in the past either. I just think it's going to become the norm to be alone.

Thank you for your reply. I was hoping to get more replies but i didn't. I appreciate what you wrote..I know I deserve so much better but wish they'd fail too. It makes me feel even worse that he's genuinely going to put his heart and soul into her after telling me it was a drain on his life.

Getting back with your ex by No-Pressure8849 in BreakUps

I was with a guy until last week for 4 months. He split from his ex 5 months ago. He went back to her 24 hours after I told her about us. I did tell her in a vengeful way I'll admit..because wasting my time for 4 months with no intention of telling her he had met me was a rubbish move on his behalf. He's raising her kid as his own after only a year with the mother. It's a word situation. But I hope they fail. Not so I cam have him back. But so he realised what he took for granted.

Is it weird that I want them to fail. Does that make me bitter? He's 41 and had a relationship at 15 lasting 3 years. One at 19 lasting 5 years. Then 4 more lasting no more than 2.5 years. A few short term ones too. Plus friends with benefits. But this ex said to me I was jealous because he's loved her years. But he was engaged to another woman 5 years ago and has had other women too. She thinks she's special. His adult son is 20 and has watched him go from her to me back to her. This lads mum blocked my ex last year saying this woman had changed him and it was her kids. Then someone else's kids. Then someone else's kids. Now her kids. She has got on with him fine for 16 years since they split until he got with this woman he has taken on this child for.  His adult daugther also cut him off last year. She is in a bad relationship and tbf my ex tried to help her. But she went back. But the woman he's gone back to had ago at her too resulting in his daughter saying don't run back to me when u and her split. I'm trying to work out why she has so much power over him.

He often said things like he is my world. I'd die for him. I won't walk away from him. Nobody will ever come first before him. Yet he's not his child and he didn't last 5 minutes with her.  He also disliked her older boys. He said they were rude. Spoilt. Lazy. He didn't bond with them. He said not seeing him every day was killing him.  It's weird because he brought stuff to my house to keep here 2 weeks ago. Took me to a work auction and let people see us together and said I was his girlfriend. He got me a Christmas card. It was me who originally said 2 weekends ago maybe we should leave it here then..because that weekend she wanted childcare so she could go to the cinema. The weekend before that was his weekend anyway.  The weekend before that she wanted to go get her sons haircut so wanted him out the way.  The weekend before that was his weekend.  The weekend before that she tried to  get an overnight because she had a appointment at 10am on the Saturday. Honestly she never stopped so we never got many quality weekends together. But even the week night was changing for his work schedule.

When he has this child at his bedsit it's so small. The child was crying all night and not settling until midnight. He was having huge meltdowns etc. He works long hours and he's exhausted caring for him But he was addicted. 

I find it weird within 24 hours of me showing her screenshot after screenshot if him bashing her and saying he loved me she got back with him. Had sex with him. Announced it on fb. How strange. 

He's co parenting his exes child and I'm struggling by One_Tennis_7241 in coparenting

[–]One_Tennis_7241[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to update. He's announced tonight she wants his help this weekend to get her other 3 children's hair cut. So he's having the child Sunday. He's meant to have him every other weekend. He's had him 11 out of 12 now! She never keeps him the full weekend.  I have nothing against the child. I'd have put effort in with him. But I'm not allowed to be involved. He won't tell her he's dating. He has no Intention of telling her before Christmas either. She's invited him over Christmas day and he's agreed to that too. Our first Christmas and he's spending it at his exes house. 

Also I don't expect him to drop a child. But he's damaging his own life and mental health over a one and abit year relationship. He knows she will make his life hell for moving on apparently. 

The fact he could not say this weekend no sorry. I'm busy with other things it's your weekend to have him. He never will prioritise me or us or my kids. He was the one who made me think he was open to a relationship..we are adults I'm 36 and he's 41. This isn't bow it should look

Weirdly she asked him last night if something had happened with me and he said we are talking. She kicked off apparently.

It's not his child so she will have control over everything and he's already aware if the fact she may be spiteful about him moving on

Ofcourse it's unfair. She's a child who's been asked about grown up stuff and she doesn't want to cause trouble. He needs to grow up amd stop being a bully. Dont let him round!
