A female United Kingdom age 51-59, anonymous writes:

I met a guy last year through work. He invited me out to dinner a few weeks after we met and I was going to stay at his house for the night as i live quite far away.

We met at a cafe bar before going to the restaurant. When I arrived a girl was talking to him and she was quite drunk. As we were about to leave, they exchanged numbers. I asked him why when we left the bar and he said he was never going to 'phone her anyway. We had a great evening together but when it came to pay, he said his wallet was in the car.

He left me in the resto half an hour. When he came back he was apparently a little distraught, saying that he had seen friends of his ex wife who had upset him and that he wanted to go for a drive to clear his head. He gave me the keys to the house but I was a bit worried because there was snow on the ground and he had been drinking.

He never arrived at the house and I phoned all night thinking that he had had an accident. The next day he sent a text saying that his mother had had a bout of depression and that he stayed at her house all night, and left his mobile in the car. I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and since then, we have a close friendship although I was not sure that he always told the truth about things.

The other day I was out for the evening with one of his work colleagues and I mentioned that particular night; to my surprise she told me that in fact he had gone back to the bar and spent the night with that girl and told everyone at work the next day. We weren't together but we were friends and he left me in his house in the middle of the countryside not knowing where he was and being worried sick all night.

I have now told him that I want to see him to discuss something and I am going to confront him over it. I think this is the end of any friendship or relationship. I don't think you can get over something like this because it's a total lack of respect for the other person. I was so fond of him and I am losing a friend, albeit a lousy one. What would you do?

kellyxxx agony auntHe's not worth your time! He has no respect for you and you can no longer trust him! Personally I wouldn't even give him the time of day to speak to, I would not contact him again! You can get better friends, losing this one will not have an impact (other than a positive one) on your life! X
