I phoned up my boyfriend's ex-gf. She's a therapist and she told me a few things.

  • I'm here..... Guess what? He messed up his flight. It was today! He had to pay $400 to change to a new flight on 15th..... some serious bad luck going on. He's quiet now, thanked me for my help in the hospital. It really helped that I didn't get angry as I did in the past. He would use that for leverage to prove I'm 'unbalanced' etc.

    It's taught me not to let any man define my level of sanity. I have had problems in the past with an ex who did something similar when I didn't do as he said. My problem is that I am obliging to begin with and very aware of how I can help others - I put a lot of effort and care into helping my partner (and past partners)..... and sometimes this means I attract horrid men with a sense of entitlement.

    So are you going to let him stay until 15th?

    Can you let us know the airport/flight number so we can all come and wave him off?

    No, that won't work. They're in his email accounts.

    Ask the therapist if she knows his password? Maybe she'll delete them for you :)

    Is it just me or do these 3 sound like psychopaths?

    Do you even know what a psychopath is? I'm not a psychopath.

    Book him into a hotel - there is no need for him to be in your home. Or send him to the ex GF/therapist.
