when a guy hides you from his family and friends?
Christinaki
This is not a recent situation, it's something that has a little time, but I would still like to hear your thoughts and advice on this.
About 4 years ago I met a guy through facebook (yes him LOL for those of you sick and tired of hearing my speak about him) and at first I didn't have much interest but he was emailing me and such all the time.
We have been facebook friends ever since. I have his phone numbers, email, everything..
Anyway the thing is, in almost 5 years we have known each other, I always got the "feeling" he wanted to hide me from everyone. I mean, we are friends on facebook but he doesn't like me posting stuff on his wall for example.. once I did it, and he was really mad about it.
The thing is we met twice in person, I feel in love, we slept together, went on holiday together in greece for a week, blah blah.. and he still "hides" me from everyone. I mean, he specifically asked me to NOT show our photos to anyone nor put them on facebook or tag him.. it means he doesn't want to be seen with me? The times I called him, if he was with friends, he would talk in a cold tone with me, saying he was busy.. but when he was alone he was all warm and caring on the phone with me?
When I travelled to Greece, he did take me for a coffee with a friend of his, nice guy, but I got that feeling that he took me to see his friend only to show off like "hey see who i am sleeping with" .. because before we left home to meet his friend he was like "look pretty i wanna show you off"... i was like WTF???
He told me he told his mother about me, and that he showed her photos of me .. when he said he was going on holiday with me, I don't know if it is true or not. Also while we were on holiday he got a phone call from his grandfather i think and he says his grandpa sent regards and kisses to me (he told me, i don't know cause he spoke in greek and i understood very little of the conversation)..
I lived for years thinking there was something wrong with me, that this guy didn't want to be seen with me, that i was like too ugly or something to be appearing next to him .. he is not married, he doesn't have a girlfriend, so i don't understand why he was hiding me like this..
He told me his family had told him to take me over to the island they live and to stay with me, but no, he prefered to stay alone with me where no one could see me ...
I don't talk to him anymore, many stuff happened and we stopped talking.. I am just asking for future reference.. I never got to understand his behaviour at all, i told all my family about him without a problem.. so i don't know why he kept hiding me from the world!

So mad at Xfinity! They're trying to charge me $115 per month for the same service I had been paying $50 the last four years. I took the equipment to UPS for shipping and cancelled my subscription today! Next door was a cookie shop called Crumbl. I had heard of it before but never went in until today. I don't need one more sugar fix, but maybe it will help with my sad) grieving heart....$15...

check out that smoke ring. It tasted really good. I smothered it with Maulls BBQ sauce which is Local to St. Louis and one of the best I ever had.....


I am so sorry.
Be glad you finally got away from him.
Trust yourself, value yourself, and be with people who want to be with you. Surround yourself with love and support. Im sure there are other men that are interested in you and that will treat you the way you desire to be treated. People have a tendency to treat individuals they way we allow they to treat us. Demand respect, trust, and a relationship in which the person is not a shame or trying to hide you, and you will find your healthy relationship.
Take care. I know the right on will come.
I am sorry this happened to you but you deserve better, much better. He was a coward for not being open and honest with you from the very beginning. Try to focus on findin someone else who is not afraid to brag about you to family and friends.
Good Luck!
