The Student Room Group

The crappest boyfriend ever?

I been seeing this guy for a over a year now, and I think I tried quite hard at out relationship but he doesn't. All he seems to wannna do is get pissed and smoke weed with his mates all the time. He's meant to be at uni studying, not that he does much of it, he leaves all his assignments to the last minute, then complains that he's had to stay up all night doing it, further more the work isn't his own, he always gets the notes off his mate. He's had to redo his last essay because it was too similar to his mates.

He doesn't seem to have any ambition or motivations in life and doesn't see anything wrong with it. His excuse is that he's home sick, and that he needs his mates back home, and they need him (which they don't they're getting on with their lives they dont even call him anymore). It's not the first time he's lived away from home either, before he lived even further away.

If ever we want to do anything I have to end up at least paying for half of it, but the majority of the time all of it, he's only ever paid for me once, yet he gets more money than me, but he spends it all on booze and weed and can't see why I get pissed off. His parents pay his rent so he doesn't even have to worry about that but I have no one to help me, I pay own rent and bills etc, yet i still manage to have money left over for essentials and a bit of entertainment. He doen't even buy food, he comes over to my house and wants to eat mine (or goes round to any of his other mates house, or steals his house mates food). And again he sees nothing wrong with this type of behaviour.

We decided to break up, and just be friends a lil while ago, but he still tells me he loves me etc. He invited me out to a house party on Sat, we went there and he pointed out two girls that apparently fancy him, one which he pulle din freshers week before he met me. He introduced me only to guys. We were in one of the girls rooms for ages and she kept looking at me then she asked me basically why am I in her room. His mate had to introuduced me (they all think we're still going out coz he won't tell them we aint coz he said no one needs to know our business). Then the girl said she was sorry she didn't realise who I was but she'd heard about me etc. He never introduced me to the other girl and she was all over him and touching him at every opportunity, then he wondered why I was annoyed. Do you think I had a right to be annoyed? Then they all started sniffing coke as well which really isn't my thing.

So after the party we came back to mine and one thing led to another, I took the day off work, then after we'd had something to eat (which I paid for) we came back to mine for a bit then he tells me hes going to watch football with his mate after telling me we were going to spend the day together, and I had already called my cousin saying we are going to pop over and see her (she'd just had a baby). Then he said lets have sex and he'd **** the football off, so I said no, we're meant to going round my cousins, so then he said he's going to football and wont be back till after 6pm. So again I got annoyed... why did I take the day off work and loose out on money just for him to bugger off and watch football. He'd know he was going from before he's invited me to the party, so we could have met up on sunday after he'd been to see the football. He doesn't get why I was pissed off by that, needless to say coz of the sex thing as well.

He got me mad yesterday trying to tell me that I was the dick because I told him what I thought about what happened on Sat/ Sun, so I went round to his house. And he thought it was funny and i saw red and got in a fight with him, and headbutted him in the nose, which hurt quite a lot coz he's had it broke before. I know it wasn't the right thing to do but it made me feel a whole lot better. After that things calmed down and we managed to be civilised and watch tv for a while, then I went home.

Now i've deleted his numbers, and deleted him off my msn etc so im not tempted to contact him again. What is wrong with this guy why is he such a waste of space and why do I even like him? All I wanted was for him to make a bit of an effort with me and in life.

I'm so sorry. :frown: He sounds like he is just completely lost. It's best that you keep your distance, because you ARE the best thing for him, but the longer you are with him, the longer you are his crutch. He leans on you to feel like his life means something, because you are in it. At least that's how I see it, from what you've told me, from a guys perspective.

I know it's hard, and maybe some day he'll come around. But, don't hold on out that and hang in there.

wow. can't believe i even read all of that.

if he's a bum, he's a bum. he won't change until he matures, which sounds like it could be never. forget about him.

Don't go any where near him again . . . with the exception of uni, he sounds EXACTLY like my ex . . .

- Has plenty of money coming in, but somehow spends all of it
- Expected me to pay for everthing, even the fuel for him to drive over and see me!
- Very rarely treated me/spent money on me, even though I was constantly subsidsing him
- Dranks loads and smoked weed constantly
- Layabout who felt that life was all about chillin' with his mates and getting stoned
- Would rather beg, borrow and steal than actualy have self restraint.
- Doesn't care about sticking to promises/plans and certainly doesn't see the point in forward planning. After all, even if you plan to go somewhere with the g/f, you might get a better offer from your mates. My ex always used refuse to say he would come and see me on the basis that his mates might want him instead. He would just expect to turn up when he wasn't busy and would get upset if I couldn't see him!
- No consideration of my feelings. Happily allowed chicks to mess about with him. We had broken up when this happened, but had also been 'seeing' eachother again and I felt it was just unnecessary to be trying to get laid at a houseparty I was at, esp as he had been trying to re-woo me minutes before!

I could go on but I'm just ranting now.

Please, he won't change, however much he promises. I was with this guy for two years and know exactly the things these kinds of people say and do to try and keep you. In the end, this particular leopard will never change his spots. Don't put yourself through any more of this. Love must be expressed by actions and considerations as well as words.

Jesus. Reading that bought back so many memories that I feel physicaly sick!

Yeah..........he's crap.

So im not the only one! Sorry to bring back bad memories, im really amazed anyone could actually be like this. Maybe we're talking about the same guy here! Certainly sounds like it... the whole life is about chilling thing is def him, as well as the beg borrow and steal thing too and the car thing too, I even went to get him from where he lives to bring him back down to uni about a 300 mile round trip and he never even offered me a penny for the troubles. I told him if he's always broke to get a job he said "i cant im a student", the lamest excuse ever, the other guy he lived with last year got a job and his parents give him loads of money every week, and the guy he lives with this year goes to work and his parents are rich and he gets money too, so really whats his excuse? I swear he only at uni like once or twice a week.... Luckily we are at different unis in the same city so I wont ever have to see him again.

Not the best move I know, he just made me loose it I wasnt trying to be serious with him and tell him how he made me feel like crap and the thought I was over reacting and found it funny. Like wasting a year of your life is funny or something.

I'm amazed as well. I just can't get inside that kind of mentality.

And if it wasn't for the fact that my ex is currently living in Northamptonshire and currently trying to bed my ex-best friend, both cases read like the sins fo the same person.

Did your guy ever cheat on you?

Not to my knowledge, I did ask his mates though and one of his mates girlfriends, but his mates aint gonna tell me, and he knows I speak to the girl so he's not likely to do it when she's around. I think there's a possibility he did, but he will never admit it, not even know. Apparently he got a 'prank' call from the GU clinic in the city we are in now saying thats someone with something had given them his number anon as he was one of their sexual partners, he swears blind hes not had sex with anyone round here. ive been to the GU clinic near the end of last year just for a random check up, he didnt get checked though and came with me n sat down stairs. I didnt have anything. But since the call he's been saying he should just go for a check up anyway. Im gonna go when I get the chance, coz if I got anything then I def know I got it off him!... Did yours cheat on you?

Definitely get checked out. That is on my and my boyfriend's to-do list.

Yeah, my scumbag cheated on me at least once, at least twice if you include getting frisky in a nightclub. He also text from my ex-best friend's phone to break up with me while I was on holiday in America so that he could go off with some other girl. He later ditched her saying that she was annoying and came crawling back to me. Two years of that. Blerg!

Lets hope these guys learn their lessons one day... I always conned my self into thinking maybe he will change, by the time they do, if they ever do they will be old and alone with a trail of women wanting a piece of them LOL (not in the sexual sense)

If someone doesn't enhance your fabulous life, move on :wink: :smile:

I don't know why we fall for losers; I certainly have twice in my life, one of which I am eternally grateful to for dumping me, because otherwise I would have spent my life trailing all over the world funding his coke / weed / alcohol habits and making excuses for.

Now I am with the perfect man, in a great relationship, and I appreciate it so much. Without the losers, maybe I wouldn't appreciate my boyfriend so much, so maybe we should be grateful for the opportunity to date the losers!!!! :rolleyes:

Well done on deleting everything. Please try to stay away - you're worth so much more, and now you're free to meet the man that will treat you like a princess, the way you deserve!!!!! :smile: x

Haha, but enough about that, you did the right thing to break contact with him.

I had to do that once, only about a month ago in fact, and I'm still getting over the loss, as they were a good friend, but they attempted to blackmail me and so I removed them from MSN as that was the only way they had to contact me. Luckily they never went through with the blackmail.

What I'm trying to say is don't unblock him. In about a month you'll feel really good.
