to think if you go out for a meal for your DCs birthday then you shouldn't spend all evening sniggering at text messages?

[sausagesandwich34]

DD's birthday, wanted her dad to come out for her birthday meal, I can be civil for a couple of hours, it was her birthday, so he was invited

he spent all evening texting various women he is chatting to online, then telling us all about the women he is chatting to online and sniggering to himself (DCs are 8&11 so really don't need to know about daddy's lady friends!)

barely spoke to the DCs after the initial happy birthday

so because that wound me up, everything started anoying me
the fact that he hadn't brought any money as he had been invited so didn't expect to pay, the fact that he made no effort with his appearance etc etc

gah!

the things we do for our DCs!

[AnnaLiza]

Can't believe he's been honest about this! No, YANBU!

[blackeyedsusan]

poor dd.

did you ask hiim to put the phone away as it is not polite. this may be more for dd's benefit than her dads though.

[SoleSource]

He is one immature fucking c!

[scentednappyhag]

He sounds like a right catch OP, why ever did you let him go?
Sorry he was a shit on a special meal, hope DD had a good birthday anyway.

[sausagesandwich34]

didn't say anything -would have triggered one massive sulk and I wasn't going to risk it

there is a reason why he is the ex!

[HappyHalloweenMotherFucker]

did you see any actual evidence of these highly hilarious "texts" ?

I would be inclined to believe they were a figment of his imagination, tbh

[AlmostAHipster]

How sad for your daughters. What a total arsewipe!

[helpyourself]

You're a saint.

[sausagesandwich34]

his phone kept vibrating so he was definitely getting messages but I really couldn't care what they said

he does meet lots of women via dating sites but none seem to last -can't think why lol

[maras2]

What an absolute pig.Well done you for not kicking off.

[MamaBear17]

Your poor dd. I think that you being civil for the sake of your kids is brilliant. xx

[HappyHalloweenMotherFucker]

btw, don't ever pay his share again !

cadging fucker

[SoleSource]

Texting strangers is more imporyant tban his Daughters special day. Also flirting like a teenager on his phone, giggling.

I would have EXPLODED with anger after that out if sight and earshot of the children.

What were your childrens reactions?

[SoleSource]

He came with no money to pay and no effort in his appearence. I am fuming here.

FUMING

[SoleSource]

I would never have him near me again.

[fuckadoodlepoopoo]

What an arsehole! Your poor daughter

[TheDetective]

What a total cockwiping cunt.

I'd of humiliated him in some way. I'd of found a way... the bastard.

And not bringing money! double cockwiping cunt.

[sausagesandwich34]

the children are used to him unfortunately

[HappyHalloweenMotherFucker]

poor kids

[WilsonFrickett]

Well, look on the bright side OP, you got a present too today. Every day that cock isn't in your life, that's a gift, right there.

What a knobber.

[HappyHalloweenMotherFucker]

[MrsTerryPratchett]

Every time I run into my ExH I am reminded that he is someone else's problem now. Hallelujah. I stick needles in my eyes sooner than buy him dinner though. You are a saint.

[FizzyLaces]

Wilson

Save your money next time OP, you and the children will have a much better time without him!

[Bogeyface]

Well atleast you know that you tried, and the kids will remember that. They will also remember how he behaved, so you never have to do it again.

Text him

"Thank you so much for coming to DDs birthday dinner. I cant tell you how much it meant to me, because if you hadnt come then i might have forgetten what a complete knobheaded waste of oxygen you are. Regards your EX wife"
