Lucy: You are the other woman.

 

But then why would he have told her about us?

Posted

I'd get out from the middle of that and let them decide what to do on their own.

No way I'd date this guy. You need to prioritize and be attracted to the right qualities in a partner.

Superficial charm, good looks, confidence etc are great, but morals, reliability and caring definitely rate higher.

 

I think you need to look at yourself and your childhood and work out what is broken in yourself that you would continue with a man like this, it isn't normal and will not end well.

I have some platonic female acquaintences but have never remained "friends" with any woman I slept with. some of them asked to remain friends but I've always declined. no reason for it

What on earth could they be talking about on a daily basis? It's too much.

So do you think then that even though hes told her about us that still doesnt necessarily mean that hes serious, just that hes not ready to go back to her yet?

 

I don't know how sincere he is. You may be right. He is done with his Ex and you are his future. I can only go by the picture you've painted with your words and my own experience.

 

I see a man that hasn't got his life sorted out before he's bringing someone else in. He's had two kids with this woman. That's a powerful history to overcome. She's always going to be around.

 

You will always be second in his life with his children being first.

 

I'm not saying you dump him, I'm saying you slow down the relationship until you see how things settle out.

 

My only concern is that you protect yourself and not get trapped in a situation that will not promote your best interest.

Its pretty much just small talk from what i can tell. Asking how each other is, what their plans for the day are, how his shifts going, things like that i think. They dont actually talk, just text. It was just her inititiating contact before but i think he does now too. And im sure i saw hes been putting xx on the end of them now too. I think though he may just be trying to keep her sweet as he said something about asking her for some money. Hes always turned to her for money i think because he never has any.

I agreed to give things another go because he told her about us

 

This is never going to work out well for you. He is still in love with her and will always have her spending nights at his and going on holidays as a family. Can you honestly handle that?

It changes nothing. They are still going to be spending alot of time together.

He didn't tell her WHO he was seeing and he never will. All she knows is that he is seeing someone. He's still keeping you a secret. Why can't you see that this guy is using you? He will always be playing happy families with her. You will never be his priority.

Why would he tell her who, me and her dont know eachother so what difference would him telling her my name make?

Allot of difference. He doesn't want her to know who is seeing. He hasn't even told her it's someone he works with. You need wake up to what you are getting yourself involved in.

I just dont see how her knowing who would make a difference when she doesnt know me anyway?

OP, our advice and opinions serve no purpose to you. You’re clearly not going anywhere, and will hang on to him no matter what. We’re all just repeating ourselves and fueling your need for attention.

 

This will only end when he dumps you.

They do. I just thought him telling her about us meant he was showing he was serious

She knows hes seeing someone as he told her a few days ago...

They argued after he told her but i dont think it was actually about the fact he was currently seeing someone. She was accusing him of being a liar and a cheat. And then all of a sudden, they just stopped arguing apologised and started talking as friends. This was all in the same day. No breaks in at all.

 

Is it just me or is it a bit odd that they can be such good friends so soon?

 

My guess.

They had sex.

It is called hysterical bonding and is common in cheating.

They have great and very frequent sex to try to re-cement the bond...

Not serious in the slightest. It changes nothing. The sooner you realize this the better.

No it was all through text. He was at work at the time

The fact that you said she called him a liar and a cheat shows that they are in some way still together. He wont tell her the name of the person he is seeing because you are not important enough to him. You are still a distraction for him.

He cheats. He will cheat on you eventually, as well as playing happy families spending nights and going on holidays with her. You have gotten involved in a very toxic set up but you are blinded by your feelings for him. You wont see it until he hurts you. And he will. He already is.

So you still think he'll end up going back to her?

Theyre saying now that him and his ex have been through loads together before they even got together, him getting with other girls, him having problems with alcohol and money, his anger issues and his depression and anxiety, the pregnancy, which apparently he told her to abort or she'd never see or hear from him again, and even through everything, no matter whats happened between them, he always finds his way back to her

 

Cheating

Alcoholism

Money problems

Anger Issues

Depression.

Anxiety.

 

He is a bit of a catch...

Yep, there will always be something between them. Just wish you could see it.
