Silent Treatment
I have been seeing a guy for 18 months. Both early 60's. Straight from the off he inundated me with presents. We mainly see each other at weekends, he stays at mine as he lives in his sons house since splitting withhis ex 4 years ago.In the last 6 months I have noticed a difference in him. He sulks when on the very rare occassion I cant see him for a night, I then get the silent treatment and this is happening more and more. Christmas time he ignored me for 3 days prior to me going out with a girlfriend, then on the day I was out with her sent me some awful text messages. This has happened about 4 times since then. The last time was 2 weeks ago, brought on as my friend who is going through a bad time stayed at mine for the weekend. he still sayed at mine and we went out just the 2 of us on the saturday night. He was very quiet whilst we were out. Whilst we were out I accidently stepped on an older guys foot in the pub and they guy joked i broke his foot, there was abit of banter between us, nothing flirty. Sunday morning out of the blue my boyfriend said 'who was the guy who slapped your backside?' I hadnt a clue what he was on about then it registered 'the man whose foot I stepped on!' He 100% did not touch let alone slap me. But my bf was adamant that he did. I asked if that was the case why didnt he say something last night, all I got was, 'oh now you are turning it round on me and calling me a liar'!! He was venemous. This was the last straw and I told him we needed a break. I honestly couldnt take any more. After an hour he packed his stuff and left. I knw it was the right thing to do but I do love and miss him. Stupid I know. After a week I stupdily sent him a text basically saying how much he had hurt me and I saw a side I didnt like but I am prepared to talk about it. Surprisingly he has read it but chosen to ignore me. Now I feel like I have given him the upper hand again. He hasnt deleted me from social media but I now think I should delete his number and take him off social media and leave him as my past. I just wish I hadnt text him.

Behaviour like this only gets worse the longer it goes on. The longer it goes on the harder it would be to leave him.
