What is the wankiest thing you’ve seen your ex do?

This is a long ago ex, over 40 years ago. After I finished with him he started seeing a friend of mine, though I didn't know this because I'd moved to another area. When she finished with him, he started stalking her, hanging around outside her flat late and night and sending her disturbing letters. We happened to meet up one day when I was visiting the area and went to her flat where she showed me the letters and they were chilling. In the end she had to get the police onto him. That's the last I heard of the man, that he had to be warned by police to stop harassing a woman.

Have a wank. Sorry - just my sense of humour.

Take a horrible woven fruit bowl thing that he bought when we were on holiday abroad as it was “his”. Cost maybe 2 euro.

I only noticed cos there was fruit on the kitchen floor when I got home lol. He literally flipped the fruit out and took the bowl.

@Sesame2011 I think my ex was completely responsible for the spread of Covid around my town the way he was putting it about behind my back...

Not that I can forgot him because he comes into the pub I work in every Saturday without fail, orders a pint from me, and pretends that he has no idea who I am and that he's never seen me in his life before. I can't react the way I want to as I don't fancy getting sacked but if I ever decide to leave...

This is SO shocking, that poor kid

Not sure it counts and not me but a friend's ex was seen frantically decorating the house when he thought he would get it in the divorce... in the end he didn't (by agreement as it happened) but the irony was he hadn't lifted a finger to decorate or fix anything in the previous 25+ years. On the plus side my friend ended up with a freshly decorated house to start again in.

Told me he couldnt make the midwife appointment for our child cos he was shopping with his girlfriend /mistress 😭.
Drove past me in his second hand sports car with said girlfriend whilst I was in labour and on route to the maternity hospital 😭😭

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

Did you report him for the last part? That is sexual abuse.

My twins dad sent one of them a birthday card when they were about 12 and got her name wrong on it. (Not this name but think Susan/Suzanne).
when she pointed it out he said it was because he had a broken arm at the time…

Well mine called me to say he'd decided to drop out of uni (with 2 terms to go before completion) in order to start a Romanian restaurant (with no experience at all in catering or hospitality) with his friend who he'd recently been arrested with for coke possession. I think his sister shook some sense into him in the end and he did complete his degree and hasn't started a restaurant.

Honestly, he's not a terrible person, just an idiot and every time I hear from him I think "thank fuck he's not my problem anymore." Although, the thing I loved about him is he's so full of optimism at all times that he comes up with these dreams in his head and is so wholeheartedly enthusiastic about them, regardless of the implausibility!

Whereas, wherever you happen to be in the country, everybody will laugh when you tell them this story!

I dated a bloke around the time my lovely dad was losing his battle. Said bloke had also lost his dad. I promise this gets better!

He started to be very annoying (and struggled in the bedroom department) so I requested space. This prince of men sent me a ‘sorry to do this over text’ message two days before my father’s funeral. When I didn’t response he went on a very heavy self promotional tour to mutual friends to advertise his upcoming marathon - in memory of his own father! Ye gods.

the silver lining is that my mum took one look at his fundraising page, complete with photo, and sniped ‘I hope he gets a fucking blister. And his dad had far more hair!’

mr marathon impregnated his ‘friend’ from our joint athletics club 6 months later. They had twins and he’s now… very bald.

You win. Speechless.

You'd think so, but I have no "proof" (I'm 100% sure it has happened going by SM). It's not a crime unless he marries here, tries to register it here etc. I don't know his current location. And something that never fails to amaze me is that authorities don't seem all that much bothered - also by the fact that he's evading maintenance!

Moan at me the electric bill was an extra tenner because I had been using a plug in radiator in the room his daughter slept in. House had no central heating and was freezing over winter. Of course it was my fault. He went to watch our local football team play an away game and blew over £100. But that was okay because he earned it. 🙄🤔This was later 90’s so money went a lot further then.

Mine lost his parental rights too, he hasn’t seen DD in 18 years now and still bangs on about how he was hard done by. It still makes me laugh to think of him in that suit though 🤣

God these men are awful. Mine tried to take the TV as our toddler was watching it, because his mum gave it us 🤦‍♀️ Not my finest moment but I wrestled it off him on the drive 😅 He came back for the washer his mum had handed down to us, despite him moving in with his mum!

Mine broke in and stole the kids bed/cot

He hadn't paid a penny for them but they where 'his' according to him

He also stole my bedding so we couldnt co-sleep until I got another bed/cot

I'd love to have seen his face when the police went round and made him give them back-he tried to give me his manky and filthy,nicotine stained double bed instead of the clean single one id bought 3 weeks earlier

He's still squawking about how unreasonable i was for ringing the police and his mum backed him up!

Saying that,the dirty bastard wanked over dds new jeans and tried to tell me id done it to 'get me into trouble'

I joined Twitter/X and somehow got banned without even making a post...

Left me for a teenage girl then bragged about it.
She cheated on him with his cousin 🤣

😂😂😂

This is amazing.

Also my ex! Now busks in Australia with dreads (he's white) as if that's his job. Plays the bongos and closes his eyes to sing. So cringe. How do I know? Mutual friends and YouTube.

Actually saw him at a mutual friend's wedding when I was with DH. DH was like 'HIM????!!!!" He had been worried about attending a wedding and meeting my ex. Once he did he had zero worries 😂 He was wearing hippie woven gear (to a wedding!) and sandals (I promise I'm not making this up). His new girlfriend was pretty but had zero sense of humour and that had been one of his most attractive features. Wankers take themselves FAR too seriously!!

Not wanky in the sense of trying to show off, but wanky nonetheless.

I hosted a celebration for our child's First Communion, which was postponed due to covid. Restrictions in place in church, very limited guests. So my family, who live 200+ miles away, didn't come.

I spent around £150 on food and catered for all XH's family (they live locally, so could easily just meet us at mine for a meal afterwards). About 15 of us in total. XH said he'd bring drinks. I only had one glass of wine as I didn't trust myself to be polite to him if I had more. He'd brought 6 bottles. A few people were driving, so not much was drunk and there were some left. I thought I'd have a glass after they all left.

XH took the spare bottles outside and hid them in a bush in my front garden. DC told me later that ex-FIL had paid for the wine, so it was even really XH's.

I happened to see him hide it when I went to the front room for something, and then I also saw him pick it out of the bush as he left, because I was in the doorway waving goodbye to everyone. He waited for all his family to go ahead of him, so none of them saw. So he knew it was a petty thing to do!

He also assisted his sister in packing up more than half the leftover desserts to take home when I asked if anyone wanted a slice of anything. So he was happy to take from me!

He was actually quite nice to me that day, and I thought perhaps he did appreciate the huge effort I'd gone to to cater for 15 people. He made a bit of a show of saying goodbye and even hugged me and thanked me for putting on a nice meal. As it was not 10 minutes since I'd seen him stash the wine in the bush, I said through gritted teeth "you could have left me a bottle of wine then".

Kind of hope the scenario rings a bell with ex-SIL (ex-BIL's wife) and she recognises this as XH. Pretty sure she's a Mumsnetter.

An ex got into a rage in the Co-op at having to queue to pay for longer than he was happy with- as a result he threw his shopping on the floor at the checkout and stropped out huffing. A manager saw what he'd done and took him to task, telling him to pick the stuff up but he refused, like a spoilt brat. I wasn't with him thank God.
