I've only ever had two boyfriends, both jerks, one Irish and one Portuguese. I was with Irish guy for 3 years and Portuguese guy for 7 months, and in the end, Portuguese guy was far, far worse. I think men might not mature enough to be decent people until their 30's (at least that's what I'm hoping). I have so many guy friends who seem like great guys who'd be good boyfriends, but now I don't think you see their true colours until you get serious with them. So far I've clearly made exceptionally bad choices on who's worth the gamble, so I guess I could just be subconsciously attracted to jerks. This is my ranty way of saying that heartbreakers, players, and all-round bad boyfriends are an international phenomenon. You DEFINITELY did the right thing by just walking out and ignoring him since. Pure self-respecting class. The perfect response to someone who clearly has absolutely no class or respect for you. Congratulations on not having such a shit person in your life anymore! They'd only lower your level of awesomeness <3

Hi downdirtychic. I hope your friend enjoys Dublin. It's a fantastic city. But seriously, Irish guys are sneaky!!! That self-deprecating charm they can turn on is the worst. I am definitely off men for a while, just licking my wounds!

Thanks Rose.I'm sorry you had to go through that. I hadn't even told my Mom much about him. I'm glad I didn't now. I blame myself for getting carried away.

Aah, towniegirl I wanted to cry when I read this because somehow I knew it was heading for disaster and only because I was in the same situation more than once. Like anonymous says don't take him back, I did and it ended in disaster again, it may not feel like it now but once you meet someone else you will wonder what you ever saw in the creep. My worst is I fear something like this will happen to my daughter (who is only 6 and a half at the moment) and I dread it, remember "your mother is always right" and I promise you now that my mom is gone, (Bless her soul) I realise how true these words are - I hated her for telling me that the guy I was involved with was going to hurt me and because he had a daughter it would never work and she was so right! But I guess you only realise these things when you are much older.

Hey, you don't know me, I just came across your blog by accident - I live in NL. But as much as it hurts right now - you never, ever want to take this guy back because he'll do the same thing over again. And his mother knew it - it hasn't been a month since you met her, has it?

Take care of yourself and things will get better.

ps Bepe sounds like the bestest friend ever.

Noooo....

So glad to decided to stay. I've been to Dublin twice in the last year from the UK (work + pleasure) and I found your blog invaluable and I love reading about you too!
