I asked the question - Am I right to serve the divorce papers on my chameleon-like but definitely cheating, lying, cruel and manipulative STBXH. You all said "YES". So I have. The story continues.........

Couldn't continue posting on my much loved thread. So here we are, one glass of Pinot down the hatch and another to follow immediately. DD is celebrating with glass of cloudy lemonage (whatever floats her boat IMO).

its the start of something new and I bet you feel bloody brilliant that you did it all by yourself!!! yay! nothing beats it eh? I've achieved more in the last 11 months than I have in the last 11 years tbh. congratulations, set an extra alarm clock for tomorrow morning and go for it! ps. having read through the thread last night, I had similar issues regarding XH reluctance to redirect his post. devised a very effective solution by enlisting the errr, "input" of our cat, not for those with a delicate constitution but flamin norah it didnt half work a treat! enjoy your moment tonight xx

Good one wisey, think some virtual cake (red velvet flavour, multi-layered with lots of buttery icing) should be passed round to to go with the lemonage, mmmm. Wish could have wine, but still feeding dd2 and she is sick whenever I drink, pah.

Hi Mumthetaxi, sorry about your ex. you sound like you are turning quite outrageous and liberated!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! See - we told you that you'd be FAB and they'd be foolish not to choose you!!! Well done :)

Definitely keep this under wraps for as long as possible :) When you do you start? Try to get all the financial stuff signed asap so you don't actually have to lie about it.

Good about the SOL too.

Saffysmum... and you seemed such a nice girl too. oh well, at least they are going up now, about time too really. yes I am an ipswich supporter for my sins! mind you dont trip over my XH in St Stephens Street hehe! Went to school and city college there. OW has relocated there too from the other end of the country and about to start work there too. they met at a conference apparently, its all sooo predictable really!

I cant tell you all how wonderful it has been to make contact with all you lovely people in the same (rocky) boat. Thank you for being so lovely and supportive. Its not easy but when you can see the high times outweighing the lows, you feel you are turning a corner? x

According to the last thread some of us here have (fond) memories of bopping around to Tiger Feet but a my DD seems to already have Lady Gaga's new CD word perfect and the club mix of Born this way is buzzing around in my head. If I tell her she'll think im a total saddo.

Wine picked up a cheeky red tonight (at the Spar!!) and am on to my second glass.

Delurking Wisey to congratulate you on getting the job-fantastic! Whenever I read through your thread you sound so in control and generally sorted, and so much happier and surrounded by love than your STBX- you remind me of that old joke about losing 14 stone of unnecessary weight by divorcing him.

Report
Wisedupwoman · 26/05/2011 22:58

Inertia, that's because I am, thank you.

Thing is, whilst STBXH is cosying up with new (old) lover and her DC's he can't escape his real family - and he has lost more than he can gain from that.
i can't give him any more air space than that, really, not tonight. he's just not worth the energy I need to do a roundy round dance with a lovely chap i just met in the bar...........

see you tomorrow folks, Wisey is leaving the building! Wink
