That made you think - what a knob! And that you are well rid of them!

lighthearted thread -

I’ll go first -

Recently my ex changed his profile picture to this wanky AI generated image of him in the middle with a halo and two angels either side… he actually gave himself a halo 🤣 What a knobhead! Like he was Jesus 😳(He was a massive narcissist. My ex. Not Jesus)

How on earth did he think he was entitled to that after 15 years!!! I’m not even sure he would be entitled to it if they were still married

His mother also died in that time and he never mentioned sharing his inheritance!

At his house for Sunday lunch, table laid, all was cooking nicely. He calls me into the dining room where the table cloth was looking very disheveled, cutlery moved around and little teeth marks and chewed edges on the table mats. He then asked me if I had made the mess and chewed his table mats! He refused to beleive that I hadn’t and it was probably his dog. I didn’t stay for lunch. 30 years later and I still can’t belive I was accused of chewing table mats.

This is very outing, so Hi Real Life Friends

Reversed his brand new shiny red penismobile into the bright yellow skip on my drive then expected me to take the blame and put in a claim on my insurance.

Was his insurance claim

“A big yellow skip reversed into me”

Told DS (who was 13 at the time) that there was no room for him at his new house (with new GF) but that if he ever needed to stay the night he was sure he could sort something.
Needless to say DS hasn't spoken to the dickhead for years.

Ran around telling anyone who would listen thar I'd lied and said I was on the pill to trick him into getting pregnant, even though we planned it together. Then joined a fathers for justice fb group when "i wouldn't let him see her" even though I put in all the effort for him to see her, would text him if I was in his neck of the woods and offered to meet up after he finished work for him to see her, but he was always too drunk or had pool to play 🤷‍♀️

Love a withering nickname! My friend dubbed my ex “Donald Duck” because I told her he liked to sleep in a t-shirt but no pants, even after I’d ended the relationship and he was refusing to move out.

Omg what a turn off! T-shirt and no pants is worse than just socks on 🤮

(He was a very recent Oxford graduate.) He went to Oxford for the weekend and when he came back said, "I told a Proust joke and everybody laughed. That would never happen in London."

Utter twat.

Fuck me! I think I know him.
Did he become a drama studies professor at Glasgow University? Or are there two cockwombles out there?

Pronounced genre ‘Jen-ear’

we were at home so I corrected it so he didn’t look a twat talking about music genres in public.

He swore blind he was the right because no one had corrected him when he’d said it before. The decided to try to tear me down and call me dumb.

unfortunately we have a child together. His name will forever be ‘Jen Ear’ in my phone.

I have remembered something similar ish. Posted before about this.

My cousins MIL died after many years with an illness and disability. Cousin went with FIL to register the death and while he was there he booked his wedding to the OW he had, it turned out, had for years. Cousin is certain that he asked her to be there so she would tell his son so that he didnt have to. They lived in a house owned by his mother pre marriage and she promised it to her son to house him, my cousin and their two kids and give them financial security. Except FIL now owned it due to the mirror wills. Him and OW kicked them out and sold it. He made his son and grandchildren homeless in a very expensive area of GLondon and not a backwards glance. This was years ago. Cousins husband passed away recently and as far as I know, there was no reconciliation and I dont fucking blame him. What a piece of shit his father was. I hope him and OW rot in fucking hell.

Horrific. What an evil-sounding man.

My mum's uncle was widowed quite young, and left with three young daughters. He got married again, the new wife didn't want anything to do with the children (so he was clearly marrying for, erm, 'home comforts') and he was planning to dump them in a children's home! My great granny intervened, took them in and raised them herself, despite being nearly 60 and having raised 11 kids of her own. Selfish, feckless bastard.

Claimed he wasn’t having an affair but then Google Maps photographed his car outside her house.

My friend's ex had an affair, then left to live with the OW. Rarely saw his son, never paid CMS - lived abroad or worked, cash in hand, for the OW's company. Always lived well, nice cars etc while my friend scraped by, working all the hours she could, to support their child. 15 years later friend's father died and the ex immediately sought legal advice as to whether he could claim a share of her inheritance.

How on earth did he think he was entitled to that after 15 years!!! I’m not even sure he would be entitled to it if they were still married

Suzanne678 · 04/06/2026 00:29

I'm a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. My ex put up pictures of him and his new girlfriend on Instagram with Thunder Road as the music.
He probably didn't realise that he was telling her that she ain't a beauty but, hey, that's alright. He did a lot worse in his time but that amused me.

Friend of mine, her exDH found out that she was taking her kids to a particular hotel in a resort abroad and booked the exact holiday for him and the kids the week before she was due to go!

My ex did something very similar. Through our whole relationship he made it clear he couldn’t stand a certain fandom, let’s say Harry Potter, which I loved and he described as “shit” (far too uncool for him).

I read the books to the kids, which they loved, he refused to take part. Watched the movies with the kids, he scrolled on his phone. I’d always wanted to take them to Harry Potter World but due to him being financially controlling, couldn’t.

So literally the first weekend he had the kids after we broke up, where do you suppose he took them? That’s right. They got given some free souvenir mugs during the trip and a couple of weeks later he threw them away against the kids’ protests because they were too ugly for his house, apparently.

Pranged my car into a lamppost whilst reversing and absolutely denied he caused the dent, and that it must've been me, until my four year old piped up in the car one day that this was where daddy had had an accident with the car. 😂😂😂

When I was a kid my parents car broke down near a local v posh (top three) public school two villages over. Every SINGLE time we drove past my sister and I would say "Oh this is where we broke down!" and I learned later it drove them mad because whatever it was cost them a sodding fortune! Even now I think "Oh this is where we broke down!" when I drive past! Although in fairness I also think that whenever I drive past the spot where my car broke down about 7 years ago and cost me over £2k to fix!

When I broke up with him he tried to make me jealous by showing me a photo of his new girlfriend. It was a photo of Jennifer Lopez 😂.

Not that lighthearted - but probably get engaged months after we split up, then quickly got married and had another kid. Then 4 years later killed himself, which I know is very sad, particularly for his kids, but knowing him like I knew him, it would have been likely to be the result of a tiff with his wife, suicide was something he often threatened and had attempted before, and he had a massive victim/God complex. So considering the 4 kids he left behind I’m considering it a pretty wanky move on his part.

i used to have a friend who had a similar thing happen, except she was his GF and they didnt live together. She was freaked out by him so texted that she was done with his controlling behaviour and said he would kill himself and if he died it would be her fault. Usually his sister would call by his first thing, except she was ill so didnt. He left a voicemail with (ex) friend who had blocked him so didnt get it. He took an amount of paracetamol that would usually cause liver damage but not kill. He left his front door open so he could be found. Except he wasnt and because he had done this before (it was in his inquest) it was the final straw for his liver and he died. Oh dear. What a shame. Never mind.

She stopped speaking to me because I deleted FB which obviously meant I hated her, drama all round!

Argued to win custody of our cat through our divorce lawyers. Added a couple of grand ££ to the bill. He won (I decided it was not worth fighting over), then the next day he gave the cat to Battersea shelter.

I never thought anyone could be such a low life but there you have it…

I wish you could have got the cat back from the shelter
