Well I have finally done it and parted with my partner.

We put our faith in people when we walk through life.

Not everyone is a deceiver but when that bell rings in our head it's best to listen to it.
10 months is not a long time to be with someone.

Couples can be married for years when things go wrong and then it takes a grieving period to get over it.

Try and look to the future, make plans of what you want your life to be like and go forward, don't look back.

Just ring the police about the car, it's not yours just explain it's been left there by someone you used to know, don't do him any favours by contacting him, think of him as a piece of rubbish which needed throwing out.

Best of luck

Would it be best to just ask your ex partner to remove his car from your drive politely but firmly? Wish you well for the future hopeful.

You will get over it with time. I suggest you get some help and support from your family. Things will get better, in fact it is as well that things have come to a head so early on in the relationship. Not sure what you should do about the car - involve the police maybe?

Well done! You did it!

I hope you feel better soon. It sounds to me that you have made the right decision.

Do get onto the police about that car - you don't want to be had up for receiving stolen property.

I hope your family and friends are happy to see you now that you are single again. If you want to see them that is.

Trying to work out the timeline here. You say for months your partner has made you feel inadequate and you hint that because of him you have lost friends? And yet, your whole relationship was only 10 months in total? So when exactly did he make you feel good about yourself?

How intense was this relationship? Did you live together? Did he promise you fidelity? Did he regard your relationship as intense as you did? Did he steal off you?

All questions to ask yourself rather than reply on here. Maybe your desire for a committed relationship obliterated the reality of what was happening? Your family warned you? I guess the rose coloured glasses were on and you ignored them and all the actual signs that this man was not for you?

Yes, cry, scream do whatever but let it be a lesson to you. Sometimes we do need to listen to 'nagging doubt' .

Yes, shoulders back, head high . Don't cry , it just gives you a big red nose. Report the car , dump his stuff in it !
Keep busy but look after yourself too . Don't take him back !

I'm so sorry Hopeful1
Be assured you will get over this, probably quicker than you think..
He wasn't really making you happy. You will have peace of mind now. We all get taken in. We are only human. Be kind to yourself and patient. I hope work goes ok tomorrow.
Your next step when you feel up to it is to seek out some company that you can enjoy. Meanwhile wrap up and enjoy some walks in the fresh air.

You will feel like cr** for the first wee while, but as time passes you will realise you had a very lucky escape. Do not blame yourself. There are an awful lot of these 'charmers' out there and they are persuasive. Carry on with your life, have a 'guid greet' as we Scots say when you want to. Take all opportunities to go out and socialise or be with family. In time you will look back and wonder what you ever saw him. Good luck, you WILL be fine.

Hold your head up high and move on.

My late MIL was groomed by a 43 year old conman, she was 73.
He was very convincing, we we were unable to make her realise how he was manipulating her and deliberately driving a wedge between her and her family.
The Police were helpful and details were passed on to Interpol but he was never convicted.
You are not the first and won’t be the last.
Put it down to experience.

oh you'll get over it in no time, I think you are feeling a little ashamed or foolish that you allowed yourself to get taken in like that, I believe all the warning bells were there, but you turned a bliind eye to them. Hopefully once you tell your family they will accept you back and give you the support that you need.

As for the car, well report it to the police.

Sorry for what you have been going through.
Once a cheat always a cheat.
It`s easy to fall for mens bullsh..
As for the car report it to the police it`s iffy for sure.
I hope your family will welcome you with open arms,i`m sure they will as they didn`t like him.Hope your day at work goes wel and you will get over it just give yourself tome.
I wish you all the luck in the world Hopeful and no more tears eh ?.
Big hug from me.
