    Hi all,

    I have been with my partner nearly two years now hes 50 I’m 35 we have had our ups and downs mainly because of his past and exes being in the background but hes finally got rid of all that now (I hope) says hes changed and we seem to be getting on better even though he promised to change his number after it all but still hasn’t I’ve been giving him the b&d that hes changed. Recently though hes been doing things and saying things to get me annoyed or to react and have an argument with him and it’s getting to the point I’m becoming an angry person because of it. And hes calling me toxic and blaming my reactions on our age difference.

    I’m a very reserved person I like to keep to myself where as he will talk to anyone in the street/shop and tell them his buisiness and lately been telling people mine that I’m not happy with. Then today he goes to the jobcentre to sign on I have been encouraging him since we met to get a proper job cus I work really hard long hours and we are restricted to do what we want because hes always broke. I’ve helped him with c.vs jobs everything and still hes happy still signing on with a bit of cash in hand jobs here and there. He calls me after the jobcentre and tells me he was there for an hour. I thought It was great cus they prob put him on a course or was discussing job options but No. He was talking to his job advisor about anything but work like she was telling him how many times she was married and cheated on and he was saying to her why are you still with him. She was basically telling him her life story talking about how women used to be bk in the day and how she brought her kids up and he rings to tell me this and I’m saying to him why are you having this kind of conversation with your work coach this isnt about work and he says we were just having general conversation. It really annoyed me and I got angry and he told me to f**k off and hung up on me then sent me a text saying I’m too immature and im trying to say who he can talk to and im toxic. He does this and wonders why I go on at him. I think it’s time I walk away from him as all I see is him trying to cause arguments. I told him i will walk because I dont like the way he goes on in a text and his reply was a waving emoji . I dont know if I’ve overreacted about the work coach at jobcentre but I dont think they should be having them conversations and with everything that’s gone on with him in the past and just recently where I found out he was texting his ex behind my back and she sent me his messages I just cant trust the guy. How would u deal with this he says they were having adult talk ice overreacted this and that would u be the same if your partner went on this way?

    My dear, I’m going to be real with you here. If you can’t trust the man you are dating to go speak to another woman without thinking he’s going to cheat on you with her then you need to be dating another man!! Your post makes you sound insecure and immature. You don’t like the way he texts so you tell him you’re going to leave him? You don’t like the fact he’s talking to a job advisor about things other than a job so you get angry? Then he tells you to f@@k off and hangs up on you? This whole relationship is toxic and needs to be done. 

    First, why are you with a 50 year old who can’t hold down a real job? If he’s happy with just a bit of cash and you have financial goals like buying a house together, vacations, etc. this is never going to work. And if he’s texting his exes behind your back inappropriately then why do you put up with it? My opinion is you majorly overreacted about his conversation with the job advisor. When you are interviewing someone or a job and trying to find a fit you want to get to know them as a person too. I’ve done literally done hundreds of interviews in my time as a boss and business owner. And to tell you the truth very little of the conversation actually centers on the job. You are trying to get a sense of them as a person, will they fit in well in your organization, what are their strengths, their weaknesses, their likes, dislikes, etc. People can rehearse all the ways to answer an interview question. I like to ask them things they haven’t been able to rehearse. People will tell you all kinds of things if you just lead them and let them talk.

    You sound like a control freak if you’re telling him who he can talk to and what he can talk about.  I doubt you would have had the same response if this was a man who gave him his life story. Seriously if you can’t trust him and this is how you act when he talks to another woman then you need to walk away. And stop threatening to walk away just because you don’t like a text. That’s so childish. It’s like the boy who cried wolf.

    Can I just say i didnt mean I dont like how he goes on in a text so I’m leaving that was an error in my post I dont like the way he goes on and I understand in interviews you have to get to know the person before you give them the job etc but hes telling me hes just sitting there listening to this work coach telling him about her life storys not the other way round she should be professional dont telling people about how many men shes been with and who cheated on her she is a work coach and should be asking him about how he should be looking for work and what courses are available and sign him up to something. Hes been with this same work coach over 4 months and she talking with hi. Like this he has come away with nothing and will carry on a other 2 weeks with no job no money and rather ring me telling me her life story I don’t want to know. Yes I am walking away I am not a control freak yes I’m insecure because of what I’ve been through with him with other women but he doesnt help situations when he goes on the way he does.

    Also kaye

    When doing your interviews do you tell all your applicants about your own personal life like how many men you have dated and how many of them cheated on you or how you bring your kids up?

    You didn’t say in your previous post he’s been working with the same woman for 4 months! Of course after 4 months and meeting with him all this time she could have become comfortable and is sharing her life story with him. It’s not like this is their first meeting. How do you know he hasn’t been telling her similar things about his exes which made her comfortable to tell him?  I normally meet with an interview applicant once or twice so no I’m not telling them about my love life! But I have shared personal stories about my kids with people. You can’t actually ask an applicant if they are married or have kids here in the US. But if they want to open up and talk about it then me sharing the fact I’m married with kids can do that.

    I don’t think that women interviewed him for a job! She is the one at the jobcentre/ unemployment office that helps him with his applications and CV no? His case worker while he is unemployed? Or did i misunderstand. And if that is the case, yeah I can see how you can get chatting even about personal stuff. I m not sure why you got that upset over it? But i dont understand why he would tell you about it either.
    All i am getting is a lot of aggression on both sides. Is that normal for you two? or does it just come off that way in your post since you are upset?!

    Wait…it just hit me you said Yes, I’m walking away. I really hope you do. This situation sounds toxic and full of resentment.

    Yes she was not interviewing for a job he just goes there every month and sign on they are just there to advise them with work. I did say to him he must have been talking about something with her for her to come out with that and he said no she just said it..maybe I did over react I guess with his track record with women since I been with him anything will just make me insecure now. I dont know why he tells me these things he knows how I am and wants a reaction or argument. He tells me bout his exes too if someone talks to him and mentions his ex he will ring and tell me. Bottom line is I dont trust him.

    its not going to work with this man. a man shouldn’t go to work bec his woman tells him to. he shld work bec he wants to! and if you have to coax a 50 year old man to go and work for regular income, financial stability and security than this is a lost cause! just snap out of this and find a guy whos more responsible and earns regular income. let him go.

    I’m with the OP, why on earth was this woman telling him her life story??? Hardly professional is it? Stick to what he’s there for which is find a job. Move on OP he’s never changing

    Why are you with this guy again? all i see are bad qualities. Are there upsides to being with him? If not, please just move on, you deserve and can do better!
