Thank you!

who predicted a new and revised spreadsheet ?

I was sent one this morning ! 🙄

😮

I thought he blocked you after posting really horrible things about you, which was after telling you to your face that you were a horrible person??

Is he mentally ill? What a close call you had OP.

bigboykitty · 29/04/2026 09:16

Maybe send him a spreadsheet. Just one row and one column. "No".

It just proves how right you were, that he attacks and blames you and is now backtracking.

josa · 29/04/2026 09:14

Oh stop!! This is an update I was not expecting. But it’s probably typical of this type of man, nasty then has an about turn & attempts to win you back. His idea of romance is a new spreadsheet hahaha. At this rate we may need a third thread….

Stirabout · 29/04/2026 09:13

It’s sounding more and more that he needs you to
cook
clean
and look after his parents

His grand plan has gone to pot 🤣

Beachtastic · 29/04/2026 09:10

Oh dear, he seems to have mistaken your exit for a financial negotiation strategy 🫣

TheBlueKoala · 29/04/2026 09:09

@HolyCheeses Tell him that next time he tries to get a woman into his nest to work on that spreadsheet before proposing for her to move in.

But I'm happy you got to see the real him from the start. I'm fairly sure that once you would have moved in the mortgage would magically appear along with increased food costs calculations. He'd probably blame it on Col and he's probably done the same to his parents. Twat!

“I’ve ended our relationship in person as I thought it was the decent thing to do, why I bothered after your not so decent reaction and FB posts, well you live and learn, so I won’t be doing that again.

Let’s not get into a ridiculous situation I have to remind you we are no longer in a relationship never mind looking toward living together every time you send a revised invoice (that really only makes me question the previous one and not in a positive way)”

No mortgage

Other bills magically minuscule- the food bills gone from Fortnum and Mason to too good to go cobbled dinners (my favourite !) The rest is still the 50:50 though 🤣

He thinks I’m as thick as pigs shit!

No mortgage??? Oh no... (clutches chest), how is the poor guy going to cope? How will it get paid?? You are onto a good thing here @HolyCheeses . You don't even have to pay mortgage!

😵this guy!

Smittenkitchen · 29/04/2026 09:02

Amazing.
He's like "Spreadsheet just needs a slight adjustment and she'll be on board!"

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 29/04/2026 09:02

We need to add spreadsheets to The Script.

Or maybe we need to start all dates/relationships with a spreadsheet. Rather than writing wedding vows, we could write spreadsheets then compare them to assess compatibility.

I am totally agog. And i am not even the one sent the spreadsheet.
How are you? So many feelings must be coursing through you?

HolyCheeses · 29/04/2026 08:56

FindmypalNas · 29/04/2026 08:50

What?!! 😆😆😆

Is there a separate column for how much he loves you?

After being horrible to you, nast messages, Facebook posts, he feels you will be unaffected by all that and a new spreadsheet is the answer.

Yes! Exactly this!

I don't like being too inquisitive as this is real people's lives but I am totally with @frozendaisy . What could he possible have adjusted that he thought would change tour mind????!!!! How did he send it you? A hardcopy through the letterbox? An attachment via email? Via WhatsApp? Any accompanying messages?

Would we ever get the chance to actually laugh at this guy so he could see us all laughing? What is he thinking??!

Shame you can't post the original spreadsheet under his Facebook post about you. X

Send one back for your design hours.

Add on per hour charges (make them nice and expensively unreasonable) for housekeeping duties, parental care, taxi services, cooking, gardening, shopping and errands.

who predicted a new and revised spreadsheet ?

Tell uuuusssss

PiglingBlandings · 29/04/2026 08:51

Excellent. How satisfying that he is so predictable! Tell him you’re sure he can find some other mug to fund his life, who won’t actually end up poorer as a result.

And feel free to point out the whining FB post, the lack of any actual feeling (other than rage over finances) romantically plus the blanket blocking, do not a loving partner make. Noooo thank you.

So no messages of undying love? Just a slightly adjusted lodger/housekeeper/nursemaid invoice?

Well done you! What a bloody marvel you are, with too much self respect to waste your time and money on a gold digger!
Enjoy the freedom and time to spend with friends and doing what YOU want to do. I'm so impressed with you and glad you are feeling peaceful and OK about it 💐

PrizedPickledPopcorn · 27/04/2026 20:00

DuckbilledSplatterPuff · 27/04/2026 17:07

Just to clear that up
Prized Pickled Popcorn mentioned a podcast which discussed about how some types of men ended up getting their partners to assume a sort of parent role, probably more commonly known on MN as "wife work"

I apologised for side track from OP's thread and asked if she had the link.

I don't know what was said in the recently deleted posts.
But there was nothing in the original post that mentioned the podcast that was anti OP as far as I recall.

Found the podcast by googling anyway. Not sure why this has caused a problem.

Edited

I got it deleted as it was asking people to sign in to FB. The one I linked wasn’t the same as yours, SplatterPuff, but I’m sure the message was the same!
