Went for a lunch break catch up
With an old colleague not seen in yonks.
Knew them and their DP socially, years ago
when all our kids, now mid teens were small. The DP was very, very overweight. Think 20 odd stone, not tall.
My friend showed me a recent pic with all the weight their DP had lost- jabs and gym. It’s several stone, incredible transformation - (smoking hot fitty to be fair) Looks younger now than 8/9 years ago when we were all friends.
Anyway friend states with new found body came new found opportunities and that DP had a ONS around a year ago. They moved on as a couple but DP has recently admitted to staying in touch and meeting up with ONS partner twice since for a meal and sex. Now begging my friend for forgiveness for sake of life together the kids, house etc. (they have a wonderful
home now)
Friend is toying with idea of ‘forgiving’ DP but only on condition that the maintenance jabs stop and gym membership is cancelled. Sees DP being fat and unfit as the protective factor that ensured fidelity all
these years so it needs to be a return to the old ways. The jab money will now accrue for friend to have an abroad holiday with own friends.
Friend very honest that not remotely bothered about health impact on DP as feels very wronged, and wants a punishment to fit the crime.
Once the weight back on and fitness down friend states may leave DP as by then will have had plenty of time to think and ‘get ducks in row’ if need be. But may not. Not clear yet.
Friends DP had begged instead that my friend has a fling or a holiday or anything but the jabs n gym but friend is holding fast and DP has till weekend to decide.
I was blown away - I’ve only ever heard one other comparable revenge story (I posted on here once - about my mum’s hair dresser and their cheating spouse where a whole house was essentially destroyed - think water soaked furniture with cress thrown everywhere, seafood squished into every nook and cranny including curtain pelmets etc) spray paint , taps left on etc etc
But that was essentially rage fuelled.
this feels very long winded and playing the long game.
what does anyone think ? GENIUS OR UTTEE LOONEY TUNE
