Would you date someone who wonders around and doesn't act like they're with you?

Not saying they're crowding you, but shouldn't they be near you and not wonder away from you. I've been seeing a lot of couples staying nearby don't seem a lot of them wondering off. You go and get something and you tell your partner hey wait here a minute or too. Then you come back to learn they have wondered off and left you. I can see this happen at a Walmart for example or maybe at the Rest Room area. I know my ex was like this she would take off and sometime actually leave me in the store or anywhere. I would have to find my way home. She was mean and didn't care to know she was in a relationship. But how do you all feel about this?

The behavior of your ex is bad, no one should put up with that, having to wonder what happened to an SO who just disappears.

 

IMO, there's a balance between being too sticky to one's SO and too remote, and the answer is usually dependent on the specific situation. If your SO is among strangers and you aren't, don't leave them off away for long periods. If both among strangers likewise, if among friends, give plenty of breathing room and don't be too sticky.

Hell no. Dump this person immediately. Nothing is more disrespectful than someone acting that way. I bet you felt horrible when he was this way?

 

This happened to me before and reading your post brings back bad memories. They don't have to be up your ass, but they should acknowledge your presence.

The way your ex-gf treated you was horrible and completely unacceptable. I hope you know that her behavior was wrong and that you deserve better.

I agree, very rude. And I would not want to be with someone like that.

 

However, I have an aunt who's a little ditzy and her husband complains that when they are in a store he needs to tie a balloon to her wrist so he could keep track of her.

 

However...

 

She'd NEVER leave a venue and leave him stranded. That's awful. And she was loving and engaged in lots of other ways. My uncle had no doubt his wife was proud to be with him. She was just a ditz.

The point of dating is to build togetherness. Emotional bonding.

 

Wandering off and leaving you randomly could be an intentional signal that she does not like you any longer.

 

Unless she is completely ignorant.
