From all the terrible men we have heard about on Mumsnet who deserves Worst Man of the Year.

leia24 · 22/12/2024 11:23

I feel like this is a weird thread, you're all going to decide which MN poster has had the worst experience with a man this year?

It's hard to call but this one was particularly horrifying 😔

Pretty bad taste this thread. These are people's actual lives!

Blimey hope you are not expecting an answer before Christmas. It’s only three days away not enough time to consider all of the arseholes.

The champion who told his partner she owed him money because her contributions to bills reduced during maternity leave.

Him! That one stuck with me.

Ok then
Hitler
Pol Pot
Stalin.
Ted Bundy
Fred West
John Wayne Gacy

Another vote for Pelicot and his disciples of scum.

Musk seems to be trying to get on the list for man who wants to screw up the world, alongside his buddy Trump. Garage is our home grown version. Sara's father takes a top spot for the UK.

Honestly there are too many to chose from - every paper is full of reminders why everyone is miserable; half of the population appear to be sociopaths at best and psychopaths at worst.

Yes that one gobsmacked me. He claimed she owed him due to loss of earnings during maternity leave...where do you even begin on that one!?

Unpopular opinion but I think the DH of the poster moaning about her DSD has a lot to answer for.

(the one with the 4 other children being bankrolled by the father, whose wife had died and life insurance paid off the DSD house)

he barely got a mention in the thread but he must be a real weak selfish guy to have allowed them to treat the dsd like that. My worst nightmare that something like that could happen to my kids if I died.

I 100% agree with this! A terrible DF, in my opinion

of course this

Leaving your wife is not great, being useless at home is not great either, but the likes of Pelicot and child abusers are on an entire level. They deserve a lot worst than the "worst man" title.

Who cares if their neighbour cheated on their wife, or left his first wife? No one in real life. If your neighbour was Sara Sharif's "father"? you would care a hell of lot more.

Please read the title again..No one is equating Sara Sharif's dad to an MN partner!

"man here"
WE DONT CARE

Oohh but we must all stop what we are doing and listen to the big important man!

I agree with OP, NZ guy without a doubt.

I wish we would retire the word "mistress." Such a Boomer word from a different era. We don't have any similar derogatory word for male APs.

On MN the guy whose mistress contacted 9 months preg OP to say they were having an affair. Screenshotted all evidence.

He hasnt bothered to check on OP or their children and is full of "woe is me" in his texts

Pelicot

I thought the question referred to posters' stories about their partners, not news items.

The title very clearly says " Heard about on MN". I heard about Pelicot outside MN.

I think the man who left his family to go and live in New Zealand must be the worst man of 2024.

What? Worse than Pelicot?

Pelicot

Yup, thanks for writing his name so I didn't have to.
Also Trump and the leader of the hideous Scottish Family Party.

There was an awful one on here only last night which was really shocking.

The bloke had moved to op’s area and was looking after his young child but not sending him to school. He smoked weed all day long and let his son stay up all night. He had left his other children with the mother who apparently had eight children. When the op tried to finish it, he got aggressive, threatened her with the woman who had eight children, op reported him to the police and he was going to be arrested last night!

That's a shitshow for sure. And the sad thing is OP not seeing anything wrong with his parental skills, even wanting to have his baby🙄

Still makes me wonder if that was a DM journalist to be honest.

Such a common story, yet it hit the DM like greased lightening and 'concluded' not too long after.

Oh wow. I read that thread when it was first posted but I hadn't read the update! Do you have a link to it, I can't find it now!

Doesn't the OP mean partners and husbands who have featured on MN threads, not those murderous men in the news?

Yeah I think they do, but with the likes of Dominique Pelicot, the other rapists and Sara Sharif's disgusting 'father' walking the earth, I think 'Worst man of the year' is a bit tone deaf if it's just MNetter's partners.

username299 · 21/12/2024 13:45

They're all a blur and they completely disgust me. The fact that there are these repulsive specimens in the wild using their spouse like servants living single lives is sickening.
