I can’t help but laugh sometimes at my choice in men. So, here’s another breakup post added to my collection from over the years. A week ago, I received this message that I wasn’t quite prepared for.
There’s a lot to take in with this message, so I thought I would digest it up a little bit. Was he really making me happy? Did I like the idea of him, rather than him? Well.
These are the things that make me happy in a relationship.
– Not being lied to.
Oh wait. He lied to me 2 weeks into the relationship. The first time he met my family on Christmas Eve, he sat there and lied to them all about something too. Lie to me and I will try to deal with that eventually, but lie to my family and you’re automatically on my hit list. Get in the bin and stay there till you rot.
– Feeling like a priority.
Oh wait. I was at the bottom of his list. Beer, wrestling, ex fuck buddy friends (more on that further down) and his YouTube channel which achieved a whopping 9 views per video, all came before me. Each to their own though.
– Feeling adored and wanted.
Oh wait. The sex was boring and I think he made me cum twice in the whole relationship. However, it’s important to remember that he reckons he was much more experienced than myself. I still laugh at that one. I think someone was telling another porky pie. Oink, oink. He might have been four years older than me, but his penis was unsatisfying and made me look forward to my period, just so I could avoid another not-so-seamy-sex-sesh on a Tuesday. Just fuck me and leave me wanting more. I don’t want to feel like I’m married to an old geezer with a dying daffodil in his Marvel pants.
– Feeling like I actually have a boyfriend.
Oh wait. I let the ABSOLUTELY NO EFFORT at Christmas slide but not even so much as a birthday card from my ever so loving boyfriend? Could happily sit there and eat a slap up meal that my dad paid for though. How embarrassing.
– Feeling excited about dates.
Oh wait. He was always too busy for dates. His YouTube channel was really important and obviously needed updating for his loyal seven subscribers; one of which was probably his mum. It goes without saying that one was obviously myself. I’ve well and truly hit that unsubscribe button now though. C’ya.
– Feeling a sense of security.
Oh wait. He’s almost 28 years old but is still getting his mum to change his bed sheets and wash his work trousers for him. I still can’t wrap my head around this. I think I was about 11 when my mum stopped changing my bed sheets. Are you ok with your mum touching cum covered bed sheets though???
I should probably add that they were wrestling bed sheets. Moving on from the subject of fucking bed sheets…
– Feeling like I can trust someone completely.
Oh wait. My old best friend was his fuck buddy. In fact, they fucked the day before our first date. I sat on his bed after our date (no funny business, thank god), not knowing I was sitting on top of a mix of female and male juices. Forgot to tell me that one before going Facebook official, didn’t he!
So, darling ex boyfriend, you stand correct. I was far from happy, simply because you was one of the most boring men I have ever dated. I liked the idea of being with someone creative, but fuck was I bored out of my mind. I got more pleasure fantasising about Tom Hardy and half of the fitties on my Facebook friends list.
For now, it’s back to the shelf for me. I’m staying single until I find someone who actually has time for me, with no bullshit excuses all the time. Someone who is excited about things like reviewing restaurants and going places with me. A guy who feels they would lose the world if they lost me. Fabulous sex that doesn’t get dreaded on my part after sesh two. Oh, and preferably someone who hasn’t fucked my friends and has a bit more success in life than just seven YouTube subscribers. Is that really too much to ask for?

GUUUUURL 🔥🔥🔥 Remind me never to cross you ever! You absolutely ROASTED this guy! Sounds like he was a bit of a loser to be honest, you deserve way way better! I'm sure that there's a fantastic guy who will appreciate and be truthful to you out there waiting to worship you! Don't settle for anyone!

Fair on all the comments on him not taking the time to appreciate you and love you like he said he did…
but just like you and your blog, Men also have dreams of doing things! If that be a YouTube channel (9 views.. But we gotta start somewhere..) Or learning to wrestle (it is a sport!)
I'm not a fan of you calling his penis small either. I understand your hurt, and everyone wants a good night in bed, but if you REALLY loves eachother (which you must of if you were together) sometimes Great Sex isnt eveything.. And man can't help if he's got a small dick, pornography isnt reality, most men arnt like most woman are in those movies.
I'm happy your moving on to better, but some things just seem a little out of place. Take care and all the best 🙂

beingashleigh says
We was together for six weeks. I have stated in the post that it wasn't love. Not on my part anyway and definitely not on his part with the way he treated me. I'm sorry you're offended I called his worm small, but I'm incredibly honest.
Jess | The Indigo Hours says
Sounds like you're well rid! Men, hey?! You deserve someone who will make you a priority ♥
beingashleigh says
I don't think it's too much to ask for!
Anonymous says
GIRL 🔥🔥 Roast that boy. Good riddance, I was about to say sorry this happened but actually you can be glad to have broken up with him with all you've pointed out now. You deserve someone who's the opposite of him and treats you like a queen!

I am so glad I'm well shot of him. I've never felt so bored in a relationship before. It was going nowhere!
Anonymous says
Grow up. Try keep a man for longer than 5 minutes. You mention in all relationship posts that you're going to stay single, a week later there's a new guy on the go. I don't think they're the problem, it's probably you.
beingashleigh says
Yeah it is me. I'm aware when I deserve better, so I walk away 🙂
Anonymous says
You were dumped.
Anonymous says
Also you deserve what you dish out. You talk about people like shit, because you are a piece of shit. Fucking grow up and learn that a man isn't there to wait on your every whim. Get your head sorted because you're psychotic. You're always in a new relationship or seeing someone because you can't bare to be single, even though you claim you're staying single. The way he dumped you is all you deserve.
beingashleigh says
I wasn't dumped. I dumped him because I was bored of the relationship. It's funny how you think you know more about the relationship than myself… the person who was in it! I've had 4 relationships in my life, so far exactly always in one… but good on you for thinking you know more about my life than I do. Take care babes.
Anonymous says
This post is really petty and vindictive. You went out for six weeks, have some dignity. Don't you think this is going to look pretty frightening to any guy you date in the future (not to mention unprofessional for brands…)?
beingashleigh says
Don't read it then. I should've probably mentioned that I knew him for a few years, so the way he went about things was very disheartening. I didn't start a blog to work with brands in the first place… so, no I don't think it's unprofessional, as it's my blog, about my life. I couldn't care less if it frightens off guys. If anything, that works in my favour. As any real and genuine man who reads this will want to change my opinion about men in general. The ones who run away are the ones just like this little darling… so it saves me a job and a half!

Anonymous says
Wow, what a lovely person you are. Are you surprised you was apparently treated like this?�� So your going on how he made 'no effort at all' , but you've forgotten to mention the reasons behind this… the fact he was moving house so he would of had no money.. but of course you didn't mention this because it would of dictated what you said about his mum, which you have no right at all to even mention his mum. Also, if I had been in a relationship with someone for 6 weeks I wouldn't even expect a birthday or Christmas present! High maintenance springs to mind.�� Also, what right do you have or even makes you think you have the right to try and belittle someone on the Internet? And why would you think it's okay to talk about him and who he was sleeping with? Was you in an official relationship when it happened? I know for definite you wasn't.. therefor it's none of your business who he sleeps with darling. I can almost guarantee he would of had a better time that what he had with you considering how you've explained you just laid there.. very experimental, very fun����. Overall, I think your a very bitter person who's holding a massive grudge.. if you knew him that well, you'd know he's a socialite, he loves wrestling and loves his YouTube.. now you wanna sit here and try mug him off about it. Grow up Ashleigh, you melt.
beingashleigh says
You do realise you've just made it plain obvious who you are? Should've left a name darling! Why hide behind anonymous? At least don't make it obvious who you are lol ..
Anonymous says
That's awkward because you've never met me.. lol. My names Reanne, hi. I don't appreciate you slagging off two of my best friends with lies lmao.
beingashleigh says
Sorry, was you in the relationship Reanne? No. I haven't slagged off anyone either. I've just stated facts that everyone knew of anyway.
Anonymous says
I was not in the relationship no, haven't slagged anyone off? What is this blog then? Constructive criticism, I think not. I guess you don't actually know the person you were dating then if you genuinely think all of this is true..
beingashleigh says
The truth is there in black and white. The screenshot of the message he sent. You don't say that to someone you apparently love and certainly don't "lol" it either. It was me going round to talk to him. It was him ignoring my texts and calls. All i wanted to do was talk to him. He mugged me off big time.

Looks like Ashleigh likes making a habit of bringing people's mums into her dramas with exes… didn't you say that you hoped your last ex's family died in a fire?
beingashleigh says
Looks like you enjoy hiding behind the anonymous button. Leave a name next time honey?
Romanovs Views Blog says
God there are some major trolls on here!!! Firstly a size does matter but it also matters if they know how to work with what they have.
Secondly Ashleigh didn't expect anything for her Birthday, but a card would have been appropriate atleast or flowers if you're dating and you want to make a go of things you make the effort!
Well done Ashleigh for speaking out. I have written similar posts not so well written but then I am getting better I think…. being treated the way you were is not acceptable and you were right to walk away! Xxxx
Anonymous says
Ashleigh, i'm loving this post! You are the Taylor Swift of bloggers! If you minus out the talent, class or subtlety and add in huge amounts of hate, self-loathing and insecurity and mask it all up as feminism. This isn't being a modern, free-spirit anymore. This is being a materialistic, superficial cow with a laptop.
beingashleigh says
This blog is my full time job, so clearly it is a talent. I don't hate myself at all. I say things exactly how they are and talk about stuff people normally steer clear from. And if I have something to say, then I'll say it with honesty. That includes not hiding behind an anonymous button. Oh wait….

meleaglestone says
As much as I'm all about keeping a private life away from a blog I'm still like GOOOOO GIIIRRRRLLLL!!
Let's all just face facts, sometimes guys are pricks *shrug*
Some guys are just not relationship worthy and think they're the best thing since sliced bread anyway which can clearly be seen by him adding a little 'lol' at the end of his text – OMG what a twat.
People leaving crappy comments need to shove off. You opened your grievances to a public forum because this guy properly screwed you over but PEOPLE butt out you weren't even in the relationship.

I do keep some things back, but it goes without saying that when someone treats me like an idiot and doesn't care about how they're making me feel, then I'll take matters into my own hands 🙂 If he didn't act the way he did and was nicer about the way things ended, then I would've had no reason to write about this.
Bec says
Girl……. why is everyone so pissed about what YOU wrote in YOUR blog? Who The Fuck are they to say what is TMI or makes them uncomfortable HERE, in your space. Why do they even come back and keep reading posts if they're hating?
I loved the post. You do you. You write about whatever the hell you want because why not? You don't need to censor yourself, everyone just needs to lighten up because they can choose to go to one of the million other blogs out there. Way bigger problems than being offended at reading about a man's tiny peep
beingashleigh says
Hahaha, I know! People seem to forget that this is MY corner of the internet, which I own and have done for 6 years. Do they expect me to take the post down? Not write about certain things because they're a bit of a taboo subject? Am I supposed to cry myself to sleep tonight? It's actually hilarious! I shall carry on doing my thing 🙂 Thanks for the comment Bec!

Glad to see you're moving on and are well rid of this guy. The way you decribe what you want from a man is pretty much what all of us want in a relationship. As a UK man who always puts his woman first, has his own successful business and wouldn't dream of ever cheating on a girlfriend, I am forever asking myself why my girlfriends always ultimately cheat on me when I treat them as well as I do. Sure their apologetic when I find out and assure me it will never happen again but I never give them a second chance to find out (Once a cheater, always a cheater). I see buddies of mine who cheat on their ladies, get found out and are then forgiven after receiving an ear-bashing. I almost get the feeling girls like to be treated like shit as treating them well never seems to work for me. Treat them mean to keep them keen???
beingashleigh says
Well, you sound a delight! I wouldn't expect to be put first, but when there's unimportant things before me, it does make me question why I bother putting people first! I don't like to be treated like shit, but I of course, cannot speak for all girls!

Oh Lord I had a few boyfriends like this and fuck they were boring too. Your ex sounds like quite a few of my exes who not only put me at the bottom of their priority list but they also took advantage and cheated on me with five different girls- get this though- one of them was a good friend at the time who then turned out to be a lesbian. Haha that taught him,
Thanks for making me laugh and so sassy too. YAASSS
beingashleigh says
So sorry to hear guys have you treated you like that Ana. I hope the post has cheered you up <3
Samantha says
This post made laugh and sad at the same time. Do not settle, it is NOT worth it. His loss and your gain. Lastly, sex should be fun, passionate and beyond enjoyable so the fact that it wasn't was the biggest warning sign ever so don't ignore it in the future. 🙂
