Seriously what is wrong with some people - why try to manipulate others & then when don't get it, act like children or like others are in wrong?

So I just started dating this guy. It's been 3 weeks.

Anyway after much begging on his part I said sure we'll get a hotel and spend the night together. We'd gone on a number of dates so it wasn't a 1st date thing. But Friday morning my brother told me he'd been called into work (he's a paramedic) & as such I'd have to take dad to the doctor's appointment.

No big deal. With this guy we went out & eventually ended up in the hotel for a few hours. The conversation was, I'd have to leave but you know we can do things Saturday & spend the night together Saturday night when I didn't have family obligations.

Anyway he continually tried to use emotional manipulation to get me to stay & I said repeatedly I didn't want to but I had to & we'll just pick up tomorrow.

.

Gets to Saturday morning and he goes home. Doesn't even bother telling me - if I hadn't asked what was he doing (his response - driving) I wouldn't have known he was going home.

It hurts in a way as we'd had a very good time, etc. We'd spent a number of dates, etc. He'd been calling me his love, his good luck charm, etc. Quite obviously meaningless words otherwise he'd have stayed.

.

But what annoys me the most of the situation is he plays the victim. Saying that he woke up at 4am and he had nothing to do - watch the fucking TV at the hotel, etc.

He was acting as if I'd purposefully abandoned him & walked out on him when reality is, is he knew we agreed to do things Saturday and just spend the night together Saturday.

It was a simple 18 hour delay from what he wanted.

And yet because he didn't get his way, he ran away like a child / spoiled brat. I am very thankful it happened now & not later on when really invested in a relationship with him. Imagine in some odd years having kids with the guy and because he don't get his way, he leaves.
