This week my ex hates me because...

Just thought some of you might want to play this game with me...

This week my ex hates me because I won't collect our children from his wedding reception. Too weird for me I'm afraid than to poo in and collect them with all the same guests from our wedding there .

Last week he hated me because I was annoyed that he's moving to Norway and I only found out through the kids. I may have mentioned that I wasn't very happy about finding out that way.

Why does your ex hate you this week?

My ex hates me because I haven't responded to a single text message demanding to know exactly what time I'm dropping the kids off for their half-yearly visit. He has previously dictated a specific time and location that I reluctantly agreed to months ago.

Your ex is out of his mind to expect you to collect the kids from HIS wedding op!!

This week my ex hates me because I dared to send him an email (his preferred method of contact) asking if they had arrived at their destination as they left at midday and he assured me he'd email me upon arrival but I had heard nothing by 9:30pm....I literally said "are you there yet" he said "yes" and that was that but then he followed it up with a shitty email acting like I was harassing them

Last week he got the ump because I said he should discuss having our daughters ears pierced with me before doing it (as she proudly told me daddy said she could have them done!) I don't think discussing with me first is unreasonable and I would have offered him the same courtesy!

surlycurly · 08/08/2018 06:29

Ah there is so much unreasonableness in the world. This week my ex also hates me because I've asked him to contribute to new school uniforms. Which he always does. But apparently not any more

I definitely think you should poo in his wedding reception OP

Cupoteap · 08/08/2018 07:02

@surlycurly a poo would certainly get your point across

I will find out today or tomorrow as I am expecting a response to a solicitors letter!

SofiaAmes · 08/08/2018 07:10

I like this thread. This week my ex hates me because I haven't asked him for the child support that he hasn't paid for the last 5 years because....well I don't actually know what this week's excuse is. Never mind that we were court ordered to not communicate directly, but he lost his password to the 3rd party communication website so we can't actually communicate.

eve34 · 08/08/2018 19:50

This week my ex hates me because I dare to have as little to do with the twat as possible. But more so this week because I dared to ask him to have his posted redirected after 12 months of not living here. There will be something else tomorrow.

Livedandlearned2 · 08/08/2018 19:55

This week my ex hates me because dd doesn't want to see him for soooo many reasons.

These reasons are not valid to him. Only his opinion counts.

He really hates a lot of people

greenlanes · 08/08/2018 19:59

This week my ex hates me because

our DC had a mega good time with me on holiday.

takeittakeit · 08/08/2018 21:40

because I exist

Queenofthedrivensnow · 08/08/2018 21:53

This week my ex hates me because I'm not available to collect this children in the middle of the day after his 10 days with them (he shirked the 2 weeks he's supposed to take) because I am at work. Apparently there was a surprise planned in the afternoon which doesn't involve his two small daughters. I can never take annual leave without using it to cover school holidays because he doesn't help with that.

He shirked 2 weeks because I presume he's going on holiday. Again without the dds.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 08/08/2018 21:55

Also because I exist.

Also because things like school exist

Permaexhaustion · 08/08/2018 22:06

Because everything in my life is going well
Because there's nothing I need from him that he can say 'no' to
Because I'm fine with whatever time he brings the DC back
Because I couldn't care less if his enormously important life means he's not available for the next contact (hint: after all these years, this is neither a surprise, not anything I was counting on)

Because I don't engage, or even make eye contact
Because I really don't give a shit anymore

Permaexhaustion · 08/08/2018 22:10

Am I incredibly petty that I'm loving how much he hates this?

BeyondMyThoughts · 08/08/2018 22:14

This week my ex hates me because I've started seeing someone new - we split up 5 years ago, he's had a baby since then then a new relationship, marriage and another baby but I'm in the wrong it apparently is confusing for DS

Wallywobbles · 08/08/2018 22:14

Perma. No yanbu.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 08/08/2018 22:19

I need to be more perma

MellowMelly · 08/08/2018 22:37

Because I chose my daughter over him.

Yes I did and I would chose her over and over again.

Never met someone so bitter.

Louw12345 · 08/08/2018 22:40

This week my ex hates me because I wouldn't pick the kids up from his house. I didn't because he wouldn't have them a little earlier on pick up day eventhough he finished work at 12.30. He also didn't pay his half to our daughters school trip.

My ex hates me coz he paid his half to daughters school trip then asked if he could pick the kid's up ealier and drop them off earlier I said no

MrMagnoliasBoot · 08/08/2018 22:48

Because after repeatedly being asked he would not tell me what time he was dropping the DC back. When he finally contacted me telling me he would be dropping them off in 10 mins time I wasn't in. Apparently this makes me an awful mother and also means this is my way of telling him "I am fucking someone else" in his words He got a new girlfriend the week after we broke up who he is in a serious relationship with and I have been single since! His rage about the fact I could be with another man is something to behold!

surlycurly · 08/08/2018 22:57

I love this thread. We should reverse it obviously too. This week I hate him because my son feels 'abandoned' and that his dad 'isn't really like a dad at all'. That's why I hate him at the moment. And it had all been going so well 😂

I hate him because my daughter has been devastated since he went downhill, drinking all weekend instead of seeing his dc. Lost his driving licence for the 5th time.

Last night she wrote him a letter, she is sick of his family pressuring her to see him, she thinks he's an obnoxious bigot, and she's embarrassed to be known as his daughter.

I read it and cried. She's 13 and wants a normal dad.

HollyGibney · 09/08/2018 08:03

This week my ex hates me because I won't be courteous to him while he isn't paying child support. Supposedly we should be friends for the sake of the children. The children he won't see or pay for...

This week I hate my ex for the same reason he hates me; because he doesn't pay child support and barely sees them.

Queenofthedrivensnow · 09/08/2018 10:11

Also because the dds keep declining phone contact. I'm not making them....
