This is just a rant, really. They were in my dream last night so I've been stewing on it this morning.

I thought they were friends of ours, his wife was (I thought) my best friend but with hindsight they were just users, they used to come here for dinner and drinks almost every weekend and leave their DD here, for example, the favour was never returned.

When we were planning our wedding, they asked me if their DD could be a bridesmaid and if he could be our photographer (he isn't a professional, just a hobbyist), a few months down the line they said, oh as payment for being your photographer you can pay for our room at the hotel. I have no idea why I went along with this but I think I genuinely thought they had our best interests at heart and were doing us a favour. The room was about £250 I think, a family room for them and their DD. We also invited her parents (and paid for a meal etc) as they asked us to.

So, the wedding photos were predictably awful, we had a list of family shots we wanted and none of them happened, I have no photos of my sisters at my wedding, for example, and loads of photos of his wife and DD.

He spent a good ten minutes staging a shot that made it look like DH was snogging my mother (with the camera angle), and fucking PHOTOSHOPPED one of DH and my mum dancing to move DH's hand onto my mum's arse. These were the shots he was most proud of and plastered them all over Facebook.

We had to wait about six months for any copies of our photos, and he charged us a fortune for some framed shots, it's only now I work for a print company that I realise how much he ripped us off on those. We asked him literally every weekend for a good six months about the photos before he eventually gave us a disc with them on, and arranged the framed prints at the same time. He charged us £100 for each print, they were framed in plastic frames from Wilkos.

So as not to dripfeed, this is the man who broke into my house and assaulted me while I slept, a couple of years after the wedding. We obviously dont' see him any more and he was arrested for it although not charged. She hasn't spoken to me since and 'can't forgive me' for calling the police. She blanks me at school and Scouts although still has a cheery hello for DH.

So obviously I have that context to it. But I am fixating on the wedding stuff this morning. I am really fucking angry about it and need to have a big old AIBU rant.

They are cunts, aren't they? Or is it me?

Christ above. Massive cunts. Rant away.

LaurieFairyCake · 05/10/2013 09:58

Obviously they're total fuckers

So glad you dumped them

Have you tried punching a pillow and venting - you are entitled to express your anger

Anniegetyourgun · 05/10/2013 09:59

It would be hard for them to get very much cuntier.

MrsRoss26 · 05/10/2013 09:59

Rant away. What utter shits!

DamnBamboo · 05/10/2013 09:59

OMG Shock

YANBU

People never fail to amaze me! :(

You can hold your head up and know that you are a lovely person and let go of the anger, she is not worth your time or energy and if your DH responds to her 'cheery hello' kick him where it hurts! He should be supporting you and ignoring her.

SavoyCabbage · 05/10/2013 10:01

Bastard.

BlackDaisies · 05/10/2013 10:01

Great that you no longer see them!
I think you should organise another celebration of your wedding and book a great photographer. Some fanastic "wedding" shots might help you to put this behind you.

Gullygirl · 05/10/2013 10:04

They are Supercunts.

Reality · 05/10/2013 10:06

My wonderful friends, BoF and her DP, took some amazing photos, and BoF's DP (he is an artist) painted one of them for us, it's beautiful. I was so utterly blown away by that. He did it because he knew our photos were 'tainted'.

Isn't that lovely? They are like the polar opposite to cunty couple, I adore them.

God I'm so angry about them (cunts) this morning. I need to rant away and then put it back in its box, it's a lovely sunny day (maybe) and I have a 4yos birthday party to attend.

The cuntiest of cunts :(

No wonder you need to rant and vent

MimiSunshine · 05/10/2013 10:07

You know what, next time you see her and she blanks you, I'd be tempted to loudly say (in a slightly bored /surprised voice) "oh god, you're not still stewing over the fact I called the police on your husband are you?" Then eye roll and shrug.

That will wind her up and make it clear you aren't going to be asking for her forgiveness any time soon.

pantsonbackwards · 05/10/2013 10:09

Holy crap! Shock

I was shocked enough by the shit over expensive photos, but he broke into your house and assaulted you?! What the hell!

I am imagining it to have been when you were asleep and that the assault was sexual, although that might just be my imagination running riot, but why the hell wasn't he charged?!

What possible reason could he have given for that which got him off the hook?

I really hope your dh tells the wife to go fuck herself every single time she gives him that cheery hello.

hermioneweasley · 05/10/2013 10:10

Sweet Jesus they sound appalling. Rant away

DesperatelySeekingSedatives · 05/10/2013 10:12

Shock even without the assaulting you in your sleep that is all fucking awful! disgusting people! both of them.

Finola1step · 05/10/2013 10:14

Good grief

Reality · 05/10/2013 10:14

Broke in was shorthand, sorry, he actually let himself in the unlocked back door, having left DH in the pub (so he knew I was alone with the kids).

I was asleep on the sofa, I woke up to his tongue in my mouth, he then followed me around the house for a while grabbing at my breasts and talking about getting me naked, he kept telling me to go to bed and he'd let himself out. I went outside in the end, he followed me out (hands everywhere) and then left. I broke down, called DH (who ran home) and called the police the next day.

He was arrested but ultimately it was his word against mine so they couldn't charge him. The PC dealing with it was amazing, he came back six months later because he wanted to reopen the case, but they couldn't make it stick.

Fucker.

Cunts of the highest order. Dreams are weird aren't they? You don't think about something for a while, dream about it and the all the feelings come back!

Reality · 05/10/2013 10:16

Quite cathartic, this. I do like a good rant.

Reality · 05/10/2013 10:17

I know, it's funny, isn't it? I thought I was well over all this. Stupid subconscious.

Ugh. Please rant. Do whatever it takes to get this couple of twunts out of your dreams.

(Lovely idea to paint a wedding photo..I might pinch that idea as we only have a wedding album and none for frames).

pantsonbackwards · 05/10/2013 10:20

Do you ever say anything when you see her?

What did she say after he assaulted you?
