Come and have a laugh at my ex husband of you need cheering up!

[Mydogisamassivetwat]

Ds was planning to visit his dad at some point over Christmas. Looking at trains last night, they were absolutely extortionate and for two days, inc 10 hour travel time, it wasn’t worth the price.

Ex h has gone mental. Sent me a text last night saying that as I chose to move so far away from him, it’s my responsibility, and I should bring ds to him for contact. I have to drive him or pay the train fare. He’s going to “take advice” on next steps.

Ds is 22 years old. Yes, twenty-two. Not two. A grown man.

Has his own job, didn’t know when his leave would be until last night so couldn’t plan in advance, and to be honest, he’s a grown arse adult who is working Christmas Day anyway and what he does with his free time and his money is no longer any of my business.

I am wondering on what these next steps will be? Solicitor, perhaps? Or maybe he will go for full custody? I mean, ds lives with his girlfriend now, so I presume it’s her he would take to court, not me? Or perhaps their landlord? Who knows!

Oh and I know I’ll get asked why he still has my contact details. It’s because, every so often, he will do something batshit like this and honestly, I find it hilarious. When ds was 18, he said he was going to court for full custody and was contacting solicitors as ds didn’t want to go to uni, so this is nothing new, the man is just a fucking idiot. I tell him to let me know how it goes and then ignore him.

Don’t block him, we’ve had hours of fun at his expense today

Agree! Best laugh ive had since my friends dog maintenance threat and my gosh I needed it today

There could be a book out soon
"Stupid shit my ex said today"

I would buy it.

edited for typos. Still laughing too hard to type properly

What a lovely thread, despite (or probably because of) your ex being such a twat. So brave of you to call his bluff when he was trying to panic you that he'd lost your DS. I commend you also on preserving their relationship as best you can. Has the girlfriend thought about applying for CMS, now that DS is living with her?

My god, what an absolute knob!

@Mydogisamassivetwat Shows you should never lose your sense of humour. It’s to be found in the darkest of moments. Thanks for cheering me up.

Having read your entire thread, you sound incredibly brave, strong and funny. And a wonderful parent. Saluting you!

Jesus Christ, no. The best thing I ever did was move my children and I away from my abusive ex husband. The best thing.

What a dick 😂😂

Although this thread just reminded me: my mum let me know recently that she and my dad have updated their wills, so I no longer get custody of my brother if they both die.

Which is a relief because he’s 28 and, frankly, I couldn’t afford to feed him. His wife can keep him 😅

Different situation but this reminds me of when my ex threatened to send the police to my sisters wedding. My son was her page boy but the wedding fell on “his weekend” (my ex’s) and he was refusing to swap. He even had his solicitor write me a letter saying that he would not allow my son to attend his aunties wedding as he was not prepared to swap weekends. The solicitor must have thought he was a right knob! In the end I just sent a laughing emoji and said I’d see the police at the wedding. Needless to say no police arrived.

"Do you now the maddest thing about this?

We never went to court. Never had a custody arrangement. Ds lived with me and his dad saw him whenever he liked. That was it. No fighting over anything (we didn’t have anything material to fight over), it was all so easy, filled in divorce paperwork, he had an affair, didn’t deny it.

Then he went nuts.

I think it’s all still because I left him and that makes him look bad. It was like 15/16 years ago. Get over it."

@Mydogisamassivetwat It's because you took a decision that affected his life that he couldn't control, and he still can't stand it. What a prick.

🤣🤦 What a knobhead he is!!

Your post is a textbook example of the First Rule of Misogyny: ex-H has turned into a prick but that's somehow the woman's fault for not possessing a crystal ball at the time of the marriage.

🤣🤣

I think I would have replied....was this meant for another ex of yours with a child?....or have you been drinking again?

This made me laugh out loud.
Your ex is deluded and deranged

@ARichtGoodDram Was it your ex that was bragging to his current girlfriend about playing the system so she gathered up the evidence and sent it to his ex wife and ex girlfriend? Might have been someone else, but it was brilliant!

Message saying you’ll pack his overnight bag and book bag with his new class reader and to save EH the hassle DS will have some snacks

Sorry meant to add 🤪🤪🤪😂

He got a 14 year old girl pregnant? 🤢 What happened to him? Poor girl. 😟

I hope the judge asks your son where he would prefer to live🤣

😂😂
Tell me you are out of touch with the stage of life your children are out without telling me...😂😂

Brilliant 😆

My dad told me that he and mum had updated their wills so that when they die I don't have to live with my Auntie H any more. I was disappointed, I love my Auntie H she always spoils me rotten even though I'm 45 and I'm sure DH wouldn't mind...

Why on earth did you divorce this absolute catch?

Oh no 😃 what a complete twat! Yes when I think back, my ex co-opted all my friends. Latched on to my contacts and by extension was both invited and attended some of the best social events London had to offer. He did business with some of them! He got clients out of them.
He was delusional to think he could treat me like crap and it not have repercussions for those that cared for me. But I didn’t go round bad mouthing him, he was still the father of my DS. But those who asked were told the truth. I was hardly going to lie to my closest friends. It was up to them whether they wanted to continue seeing him. I didn’t mind one way or the other, besides I had my DS (who was under a year old) to bring up alone, so I was busy.
It’s amazing what these ar*eholes do and expect no f ing consequences to their atrocious behaviour!
I seriously wonder what planet they think they’re on.

Does he shake his fist and yell at clouds too? Gawd, no wonder he’s your ex, what a dingbat!

What is wrong with them.

It's like they run a predictable and consistent programme.

So many men think women and children are things, not quite human, property to be owned and controlled.

And when the property is taken away from them (including when she leaves) they seem to go batshit. Weirdly detached from reality.

It is funny - but it's awful at the same time.

I agree - Shit My Ex Says would be a brilliant book.
