I think the title says it all! I personally think he is a knob to an extreme degree. I have already written about his behaviours on the thread 'Devistated is an understatement' buthis latest set of behaviours has set an all time low!
On 4.11.2012 I explained that I didnt want him at the house on Christmas morning to spend time with our DC as I didnt think it was a good idea. I offered him the 24th to spend time with the DC which he agreed with, saying he understood how I felt. Which in all honestly was a first. Anyway fast forward to the beginning of December, he saw the children on the new arranged time on once a week as opposed to twice weekly because he was unable to keep to the timetable I set up for him. The following two Saturdays he failed to turn up because 1. he had a cold, 2. he was feeling sick. Both dates were cancelled at the last minute and came with the 'sick' voice. Obviously on both occasions I had to change my own plans and find something for the children to do on both occasions. I wasnt bothered as I enjoy spending time with my children but as I had just came out of hospital following surgery I didn find it difficult.
Call on Monday from him to Dc during which I offered tyhat he have the children on Saturday from 9 to 4pm. His response was he might be busy but would let me know. Tuesday I asked that he let me know asap. Wednesday I ask him what was happening. His repsonse was I want to see the children on Thursday/Friday bnight because I'm going on holiday for Christmas as I'm stressed! Stressed he doesnt understand the word - he doesnt pay then correct amount for his DC, what he does pay I have to ask him for each week, he calls when he feels like it, turns up occasionally etc.
Anyway last night I recieved a call when I returned from work saying 'I'm outside I either see the childfren now ort they dont get any Christmas present.' Being held to randsom I allowed him to see the DC only to be shouted at on the doorstep when I asked him if he was still seeing the children on Saturday. Apparently he says I'm changing my mind all the time, despite the fact he is supposed to see his DC on Saturday! so all in all he isnt seeing the children again until some time in January when he returns from holiday with OW and their dog.
In the meantime he has told our DC that he is about to lose his flat because OW has lost her job, the flat is covered in mould, when he returns from holiday he might have to rent a room in a shared house with OW and their dog...as if I'm really bothered by his woes!
He is Twonk isnt he?

Is my STBH a complete knob?
redtulip68 · 21/12/2012 22:50
Did I add that its our 10th wedding anniversary tomorrow...no divorce , he wouldnt go to mediation or sign the documents but he had the affair not me!
I was bought up well...I would use some very rude words but that would reduce me to the level of his 59 year old OW, she'sold enough to be my Mother by the way 
H knob status I would like you take into account that I have just spent 7 hrs in hospital with ourDD who had breathing difficulties. I called him five times but he didnt answer, then sent a text to which the repsonse was no signal text me. Exactly what I was doing -stupid man. He never once asked how she was but just added that he was five hours away in a flooded area and wasnt coming back. Nice 
He has done some cash in hand jobs and sells bikes in newspapers etc so nothing that is really tracible. He is beginning to do some supply work through an agency but apparently not very much. He used to live off her earnings as a cleaner in a hotel but she has now lost her job, apparently they cant afford the one bedroom flat they have been living in and when they come back from holiday, if they dont receive housing benefit they will be moving into a shared house into one bedroom with their dog. He is 45 and she is 59, you share a house when you are a student not OLD!
But you have to remember that 'This is the life I always wanted but you and the children wouldnt let me have' or so he quoted back in August when he had £8k burning a hole in her bank account. Money gone, jobs gone, children gone just a Granny and a dog to keep him warm at night. Now that is funny
I dont think so. He can never say sorry, ask for help nor can he ever be wrong. So if he were to ever think I'd have him back I firstly would want apologies to my entire family, confirmation that what he has done to my children and I was completely unprovoked and uncalled for then..............I would say thanks for that now sling your hook! He made his bed now he can lie in it or should I say now he can find a cardboad box and lie in that .
Thanks for the message Midwife. Things have improved slightly in as much as I ignore him as much as possible but he continues to be...please add whatever name you wish to call him!
The fact that things are going down hill fast for him is exactly what he deserves. Of course it could all be a tissue of lies that he is telling the children and me to ensure he remains a topic of conversation. But I'm really hoping that its all going wrong! Is that bad of me?
The DCs are happy and really excited that we have family coming to see them on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day which really is an improvement on previous Christmases where STBXH only wanted to sit in the house on the internet or play at building bikes. The fact that the children never mention him is a little strange and there are times what my DC will say that they thinks we are so much better off without him. Maybe they saw things I never saw...what clever little people they are
