What was she doing?

My cousins cousin (unrelated to me) hasn’t liked me for years, since I liked her exs Facebook status (I know!). OH and I have been going through a rough patch, he even told me we weren’t in a relationship anymore the morning of the wedding. He knows I’m not this ladies biggest fan and also that I think she doesn’t like me.

We have 3 kids, one of which a 2 year old that needed constant supervision (not a problem, I love her company!) I decided not to drink anything as the venue was near a busy road and DD kept making a beeline for the nearest door.

OH doesn’t usually drink but he really went to town. I look over and he’s necking drinks with this lady and some of her family. Little while later there’s a lot of arm touching, flirtatious giggling from her etc and then she randomly starts taking some pics of my OH. This massively upset our 11YO who ended up in floods of tears because of how this lady was being with her dad.

Tried to keep an eye on the situation whilst also responsible for 3 kids. Just noticed more of the same behaviour. Around half 10 my mum takes my still upset 11YO and my 2YO back to our house. I decided to have a couple of drinks as we were walking home anyway.

End up on the dance floor where she can’t get enough of him, a friend of mine comes over to tell me that she keeps staring over at me every time she has any kind of interaction with OH and that she was looking for a reaction out of me and to not give her the satisfaction. I end up walking away and getting upset. (Cried a lot of tears all in all haha)

I get over myself and try to let my hair down, next thing I know this woman has come over to me, grabbed hold of me with both hands and dragged me outside to see my OH whilst saying something like “he’s so awkward, I don’t know why”

OH very drunk and he starts going on about how he can’t do this anymore and how terrible our relationship is. Outside about an hour with him being not very nice to me.

Lady comes outside to tell me my 7YO was getting upset as he couldn’t find us. I go back in and this woman is dancing with my son, picking him up and spinning him around etc. Did find it a bit strange as she’s got nothing to do with my son, they don’t know each other!

What the f*ck was she doing? What was she hoping to achieve? For context she’s early 30s, slim, nice looking and always with lovely hair, make up etc and a big personality. Frankly I think she thinks very highly of herself and is incredibly big headed.

OH has always been adament men and women can’t ever be friends and if the shoe was on the other foot he’d be ripping me a new one if I was having such a great time with another man or posing for him to take a picture.

Sorry needed a rant!

Nope, this is exactly what she told me. I’ve no need to put a spin on anything. She was being very forward with her dad.

Of course she did, she doesnt want it to be her dads fault.

But it is.

Dunno why youre focused on her. She did want to wind up i think. But if she really wanted to be nasty she coulda pushed it further and I think hed have let her

She was being a bitch trying to rile you but your oh is a waste of space he didn’t spend time with you and his kids but let your nemesis touch him. Do you trust him because if he let her do this in front of you and your family can you imagine what he would do when you are not around. Oh is out of order I really hope you can get out of this relationship soon. Ignore the woman she wanted to wind you up but your oh is your biggest problem. If he doesn’t want to be with you can he not leave and you claim cms and uc?
