Too many red flags, one would be enough for me.

Nooooooooo

Women want a relationship which makes them happy.

Most men want to have sex, if that’s ok then they want to move in and have someone to wait on them.

Ditch him.

Just stop answering the phone when he rings.

Redhead56 Wed 23-Mar-22 12:50:21

Why have you put up with him just get rid. He sounds a pain in the rear it's better to be on your own surely.

FannyCornforth Wed 23-Mar-22 12:25:07

Nooo! ?

Grandmabatty Wed 23-Mar-22 11:47:04

Get rid of him. Pronto.

You really need advice on this!!!

nanaK54 Wed 23-Mar-22 11:10:09

He really doesn't sound like a 'keeper' to me

Why are you even asking? Get rid of him soon or he’ll simply inveigle his way into your life. He sounds a nightmare.

3 questions:
Is he kind and respectful to you?
Does he make you feel good about yourself?
Do you love him and feel loved in return?

If the answer to any of those questions is no; kick him to the kerb and move on.

talks endlessly about old girlfriends is not respectful or kind.

Kick him to touch (so to speak).

When you say ‘pushing for a relationship’ is that code for ‘he’s hoping to get his end away’?

GagaJo Wed 23-Mar-22 10:30:41

It sounds to me as if he turns to you when nothing better is on.

By 'pushing for relationship' do you mean he wants to make it physical?

I'd make sure he actually enjoyed my company before taking that step, at this older stage of life.

henetha Wed 23-Mar-22 10:28:20

Do you really want the endless agro of someone like that in your life?

grannyrebel7 Wed 23-Mar-22 10:18:16

Run for the hills!

MawtheMerrier Wed 23-Mar-22 10:17:53

Tell him to push off?

Witzend Wed 23-Mar-22 10:15:11

Sounds like one to avoid! If you don’t want to dump him straight off, maybe a gradual cooling?

Luckygirl3 Wed 23-Mar-22 10:13:31

Send him over the horizon .......

Hi, need advice. Manfriend of 3 months although I knew him in my 20s.
Forgot my birthday, talks endlessly about old girlfriends, cuts our calls if someone else rings on his other line. Always morose, about everything, always reason he cant do something. Such as chores . Calls too much. Any thoughts... not in relationship yet. He's pushing for relationship to happen.
