I’ve never been in a relationship with a UK man, but from dating experience they are exhausting af.
I need to gtho!
They don’t like texting everyday, don’t like phone calls everyday, they hate wigs but also hate braids, they don’t date women with kids or they do date them but father must be in jail or dead, healthy co parenting they aren’t here for it. Talking stages that last 2 years min.
They also have a huge issue with showing affection, and they find you clingy if you are very affectionate.
Biggest commitment phobes ever.
Eh pardon mbadi! I’m out!!
Let’s add, they believe they are the prize, they don’t want to pay for dates or believe you should go 50/50 for absolutely everything and if you don’t, you must be a gold digger (where the gold at tho?), they are jealous of women and believe marriage benefits women and not men.
Ah let’s not forget communication, ZERO communication skills.
They are clearly been over you for time but will string you along, gaslight you when you ask what’s wrong and will make you go insane and frustrate you out of whatever arrangement you have so not to take full blame.
Please don’t come tell me the world is bigger than the UK, I’m an immigrant, I know this already!
Will not forget last year I went to Paris with this guy I was seeing, and he was being an asshole throughout the whole trip.
I had to literally force him to tell me wtf was going and he later painful admitted of not being interested for a few weeks... “I was going to tell you”..
So basically if I never asked and INSISTED for hours for an explanation, he would have carried on stringing me along and gaslighting me until I got frustrated out of it, instead of just admitting he was no longer interested. And this happens to a lot of us women! COWARDS.
