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.

Well, if he’s in prison, he probably is somebody’s little princess 👑

I am home alone incapacitated with the mither of chest infections and thus thread has literally had me ready tonpass out from lack of oxygen from laughing.

This makes my ex look perfectly normal!

His twattery is mostly just because he only ever thinks if himself.

So our relationship failed because I was the bottom of the pile for everything, his exw took priority over ne which was the final straw. It wasn't personal to me, he treated his dd like shit too. I only stayed as long as I did to protect her and our joint dd.

He now rings me to moan because his dd (my dsd) doesn't answer and is always too busy to see him and he feels rejected and unimportant. My mouth spilled out words before my brain could stop it... "ohhhh well you reap what you sew"

Or when he moans because he is on a PIP at work for basically being a lazy twat and expects sympathy.

I long ago stopped sugar coating things and just flatly say it as it is now. He hates it. But he still rocks up for a chat.

We are friendly because of the kids. But dsd and dss still call me before him if there is an issue!

🤣 thank you I did need this laugh it's but the threats and similar emails I get about my 22 months old into context!

@Mydogisamassivetwat I found the perfect birthday card for him but I wouldn't waste my money.

Same exh who tried to have me charged with assault. He was at the door with his foot in my kitchen.. I asked him to move. He refused and was peering round along that hallway so I jammed the door at his foot trying to shut it. He claimed I had scratched his face trying to shut the door. I earnestly told the police( who actually took me to the station 6 months after the incident) if I had intended to assault him I would have used a pan... No charge brought he was just trying to discredit me in court...

😂😂😂

That's a genius response!

Another ex once had me pinned by the throat,over my dds baby gate

I managed to smack him in the face-and I admit,I gave him a real whack

To which,he ran away and rang the police,saying I'd hit him and he wanted me 'done' for assault

After the police spoke to me at home,he got arrested as he had over 80 records of dv (not all with me) and they had his number

He was OUTRAGED and went round telling everyone 'I'd got away with it' while not mentioning why I'd hit him-in fact he's still bringing it up 15 years later

Oddly,only his mum and sister backed him up over what a violent and nasty bitch I am-his mum told the police I'd 'asked for it' which didn't help his cause

Fool

God, some of the men mentioned on here are absolute tossers.

No phone call from any solicitors today funnily enough 🤣

No phone call from any solicitors today funnily enough

I hope you're not too disappointed...

ExH went absolutely apoplectic in mediation because when I'd resigned as an employee from the business we ran together (18 months after I'd left him), I paid myself the holiday pay I was legally entitled to, because he "hadn't had a holiday in years". He couldn't understand the difference between me as an employee on a salary and him as a partner drawing dividends. Both the mediator and I tried to explain holiday pay for an employee was a legal obligation, but he wasn't having any of it

And then I think back to his DF ringing the Scottish Office to get them to tell me that his then wife (not exHs mum) HAD to sit at the top table of our (very traditional) wedding in Scotland. It obviously ran in the family and I ought to have realised before said wedding and ran a mile😂

I’m convinced your ex husband missed a few of your son’s birthdays and thinks he’s younger than he is!! This is hilarious

Clearly your ex is the only child in this situation.
You have more patience than me, I'd have long since stopped the contact for the sake of my blood pressure.

i thought my ex was batshit! My son cut ties with his dad just before his 17th birthday and I was expecting this palaver myself but he didn’t. He’s just accepted it. And trust me he’s batshit! So yours is next level!

merrywidow. Reminds me of this poem. "Two old chairs, and half a candle,One old jug without a handle-- These were all his worldly goods, In the middle of the woods, These were all his worldly goods, Of the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo,"

Oh wow the ex MIL sounds like a peach! I suppose you know now why the ex behaved as he did. Chip off the old block.

I was gaslit for years by my narc ex, who threatened me no end, day in, day out. It was his favourite hobby. Narcissistic rage coupled with rant after rant on everything.

As an aside, you know what I realised, and it took a while to come to this realisation.
That it can only mean that underneath it all. They are just deeply, deeply terrified and damaged and ashamed.
Desperately projecting their shameful insecure rage onto someone else.
So now when I see this behaviour, this compulsion to constantly exert power and control everything and everyone, all I can think of is ...
'you must be so so scared and so ashamed'.
So I just pity them now. They're just pathetic to me.

I now look at them as I would a tantruming toddler, screaming and railing against something they can't control and are desperately trying to.

😂😂 my thoughts exactly

Oh this is such familiar language!! The parting shot was always "I'll see you in court" even when I wasn't contesting anything 🤣! I think he thought it would intimidate me but I just found it hilarious. He paid out thousands in legal bills and I'd just turn up representing myself and won every time 😁😁.

Your ex should meet my ex, they seem a match made in heaven..

Hilarious 😂

And here we have another example of “What the actual fuck!” In terms of once upon a time, you adored the very bones of the man enough to love, cherish and have a child (now fully formed adult) with. And here you are, two plus decades later realising, he probably wasn’t one of your best moves. Apart from the obvious. Your son.

Men, eh!

Ex will probably be annoyed that you haven’t sorted out a seniors care home for ds when you are 99 and ds is in his 70s.

How long has your EX been a sleep for 🤣🤣 he is aware his son is 22 right 🤔🤣

Oh, there’s always havoc, pain, regret and all that. It’s just that life goes on, as it must.

Don’t get me started on blended families.
