Question - (7 February 2010) 5 Answers - (Newest, 7 February 2010)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Basically, I feel my partner is taking advantage a little bit... for example, tonight, he was going out with his friends, which I was absolutely fine with, obviously!

But 2 hours into the night, he says he's bored and wants to see me, which i say ok to.. an hour later, he calls me saying he has stopped round a mutual friends house (to which i am not invited) to 'chill out for a bit' .. he says he'll be round soon, i say 'fine'... 4 hours later, he is not here.

cannot get in contact with him to ask where the hell he's actually staying tonight, so i feel i have to stay up just In Case.

this sort of thing seems to happen a lot.. am i overreacting or is he actually taking the piss?

yes i am far too available, and i was drinking with my housemate, which was fun. he kinda ruined it a little by being a douche.

I am having words today, and also becoming less available, see how it goes... thanks for advice :)

You are so not overreacting! Gosh, if this sort of thing happens a lot, I think you are an angel to put up with it! If a guy did this to me on a regular basis, I would think it was completely unacceptable. Have you spoken to him about this? He might think it is fine to do these things if you don't say anything. Put your foot down girl! You deserve much better treatment than this, so go and let him know that! x

He's taking the piss. Play harder to get. When he says he wants to see you, say you're up to something. See what happens. If he still doesn't put enough effort into it, then get away from him.

polarkite agony auntIf it were me I'd lock the door, and forget about it. Some people are more comfortable than others with ambiguity and flakiness.

I'd either reward his flakiness with absent-mindedness or put your foot down.

veronika agony auntI don't think you're overreacting, he's acting like a jerk. Tell him to stop playing around with you. Put an end to it.
