Love: Red flags all over the place

Red flags all over the place

By DumpedHisAss - 14/10/2009 15:19 - United States

Today, I got a phone call from my boyfriend, who screamed at me for being a f-ing liar and never taking time for him. He'd called my work and knew I wasn't there as I said I'd be. He was right - I was lying. I'd been driving for the past 10 hours to his family's beach house to surprise him. FML

Today, I woke up early, showered, dressed, and made the 40 minute drive to work, only to discover when I arrived that today was my day off. When I got home my live in boyfriend was gone. I called and he told me he was at the beach, right near my work. FML

Today, I called my boyfriend to see if he wanted to come over to my house. He said he couldn't because he was out of town. That would have be perfectly acceptable, if I hadn't called him on his house phone. FML

Today, knowing my long-distance boyfriend was cheating on me with a local girl, I decided to make a surprise visit to confront him by showing up to his home. Both of them answered the door. My boyfriend claimed to not know me, and threatened to call the cops. I ended up back at the airport in tears. FML

Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML

Today, I got a call from my boyfriend. He was at the police station for breaking into a model home to hook up with the girl he's been cheating on me with for the past 4 months. I was his one phone call. He was expecting me to bail him out. FML

Today, my boyfriend and I were arguing about how he was too busy for me. During that conversation, he was texting his best friend and then called by his brother to drive him home. Instead of returning to finish our conversation, he left to prepare for his fishing trip with his mates tomorrow. FML

On call

Today, my boyfriend accused me of not coming home at all last week. The truth is, I was up and gone to work before him every morning, and I was home after he went to bed. He didn’t even bother talking to me or asking where I was last week, we both work 24/7 on-call jobs, and he knows this happens sometimes. FML

Today, I drove three and a half hours to surprise my long distance boyfriend for our anniversary. He was out of town. Where was he? Three and a half hours away trying to surprise me. FML

Today, my boyfriend came over and dropped off my phone, which I'd left at his place the night before. He immediately left in a sulk. As I looked through my texts, I discovered he was only so moody because I hadn't answered any of his calls or messages. I'm dating an idiot. FML

People don't seem to understand that there's good lying and bad lying. Good lying is normally done so people can prepare surprises for others. Bad lying is things like covering up that they cheated on their lover with someone they met randomly.

I'm the OP. Didn't comment sooner because I didn't know one could comment. Yes, I know I lied. Said that in the original. I believe my intentions were good, but still a lie. I was living in NJ at the time, driving to southern North Carolina - it's about 10 hours. We dated for 9 years - I was always welcome at the beach house. I told him that I was intending to surprise him, and he felt like an ass. But I did apologize for lying. We broke up for many reasons, but his always checking up on me/calling me at work/etc were the main ones.

@ OP So did you two talk about this as being a known issue (the always checking up/calling at work/etc.)? Maybe he calls to make sure you're doing okay? Yes I'm sure everyone wants their independence but I think there can be a happy medium where both people are happy. But I do say..communication is key in a relationship.

A professional can't have her boyfriend calling her at work several times each day. It looks bad. He claimed that he was making certain I was okay or just liked to hear my voice, but did I really need to be called (without exaggeration) 8 or more times in a 24hr period? This went on for YEARS. At some point, I just can't take that controlling behavior any more. And yes, we talked about it several times. We even talked about it with a therapist. He just never stopped.

The TX beaches are only 8hrs. I guess geography isn't your subject.

tbh, you should've just told him he shouldnt of jumped to conclusions & that you just wanted to surprise him by driving 10 hours and everything wouldve been okay. & it's not really bad lying about that. it wouldnt have been as romantic if it wasn't a surprise.. & don't worry, it's normal to freak out. he was probably just worrying. wouldn't you worry if you thought your boyfriend lied to you?
