I'm very frustrated so thank you for listenting to me vent! For Halloween I went to a Halloween party of a guy i've been seeing (not exclusively) for 2 months. Earlier today we even went to the movies before the party. Well at the party he was acting out of character and sort of ignoring me and i noticed he was making an effort to talk and dance with other women- just not me. Well after a couple hours i took him aside and asked him what was wrong and he acted like he had no idea what i was talking about. Then i asked him if there are other women he's seeing there and he said one ( also casually) and i got upset. I told him i think its wrong to invite me to a party where theres other women he's sleeping with and he told me if it makes me uncomfortable then just dont come! WTF. Is that what i get after 2 months? So then i'd had it and i said fine and walked out of the room and hes like "youre leaving?!" and im like "yeah, and don't worry I won't be coming back."

I just don't understand people sometimes. I get that we werent serious, but to flaunt something in my face like that is just plain disrespectful. Am I wrong in thinking that? This man has told me how much he cares for me, how we have a great connection...blah blah blah. How can someone do that to someone they care about then?! Im so hurt right now, i really had fallen for him and now i feel like a fool....

Well, it's pretty stupid of him to invite you to a party where there's another woman he's sleeping with. That's just dumb. What a moron.

But you're falling for him after only two months when you're not exclusive? I think you were giving your heart away too quickly and allowing yourself to get upset over a man who didn't "belong" to you. I don't think he cares THAT much about you, not enough to date only you, but you knew that already.

You sold yourself short. You're not wrong for feeling the way you do, but it could have been avoided by preventing yourself from getting attached too soon. Two months is a really short amount of time.

Actually, I do not think 2 months is too short of time to develop feelings for someone. And to say I shouldn't develop feelings for someone who doesn't belong to me doesn't make any sense because I would never become exclusive with someone in the first place if I didn't have feelings for them. 2 months of seeing and talking to someone on a regular basis is sufficient amount of time...in my opinion.

When did I say you shouldn't "develop feelings" for him? Please quote.

With all due respect.. what did you mean by this then?

'...but you're falling for him after only two months when you're not exclusive? I think you were giving your heart away too quickly and allowing yourself to get upset over a man who didn't "belong" to you'

I think this very clearly implies 'you shouldn't develop feelings for him'.

This isn't the first time here on village that I've come accross this 'but I never said it in those exact words'. You don't necessarily need to say something in EXACT words to imply it.

To the OP: I am very sorry. I do agree that two months IS enough to develop feelings for someone, and it was an extremely hurtful thing for him  to do. You have to try your very best to just move on from this and keep making an effort to meet new people. I wish you the very best of luck.
