So he’s on one, when he meet his wife he was 27 so not that young, she already has a child, father not interested and not around …

so this idiot man x let’s call him
started a relationship with her
according to him they were just shagging …….

he split up with her as he didn’t want an instant family…..
(how can you split up with someone you claim never to be in a relationship with ?)
yet continued to sleep together …

she got pregnant
they had the child 3 years later had another child
then 3 years later married

yet he treats her like shit
cheats on her non stop
puts her down

he was trying to chat someone up at this party someone half his age
and when he gets rejected
he says men aren’t interested in single mothers
trying to put her down

yet he was when he meet his wife

what should I say to him

hes My dh cousins, husband's brother

It sounds like you're at a BBQ with my brother - repugnant.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 26/04/2026 16:20

If he's distantly related family you've known him (and his history ) a while .

"FFS Julian , not this tired old Pity Party Monologue again ? Have a Day Off "

And walk away like he's a nasty fly in your glass of Chablis

Put your phone away and enjoy the BBQ

So your are at a social gathering and preferring to post on mumsnet?
Are you one of those people who are glued to their phone?

If I was at a social gathering and stuck on a table with someone like him, I'd be on my phone complaining about the fucker on MN as well.

DripDripAprilshower · 26/04/2026 16:22

If I ‘educated’ every dick I met in real life I’d never have time to be on MN!

Just move on.

AfternoonVanessa · 26/04/2026 16:23

Sorry but if he was rude to his wife I'd be taking him down.

Another entitled man.

rainbowunicorn22 · 26/04/2026 16:25

what the hell are you doing talking to that tosser? surely must be other people there to talk to. must admit I would rather talk to a bloody tree than him. If she is daft enough to put up with him thats her look out sounds like he has no respect at all for women full stop. he is probably trying to get you into bed

MyBraveFace · 26/04/2026 16:26

He sounds like an idiot but I don't think his wife has behaved very sensibly either - one child with this man was obviously a mistake, why did she have another?

Applepe · 26/04/2026 16:26

Tbh, I’ve met women like him at bbqs, mouthing off about their husbands. She’ll bin him when she’s ready.

LetsPutThisTwatStraight · 26/04/2026 15:08

I’ve already said to him well you were
(interested in a single mum) when you meet your wife

and he replies was I ????
all shocked

and I said well yes you got in a relationship with a single mum, he replies wouldn’t call it a relationship we were just shagging and she trapped me on purpose

She tricked him twice? 😣 Some people are the pits.

AfternoonVanessa · 26/04/2026 16:30

I love the 'she trapped me ' bet she wouldn't now!
Balding, fat, rude.
But then you can't put lipstick on a pig.

viques · 26/04/2026 16:31

I think his poor wife needs a statue erected to her to thank her for taking one for the team. some women go far and beyond the call of sisterhood to save the rest of us from men like him.

For his wife Flowers

Iatethelastbiscuit · 26/04/2026 16:31

Say (In front of as many people as poss) “I’m genuinely curious, don’t you find it a bit embarrassing to keep trying it on with women who keep rejecting you?”

Ditto!

Smart phones (and head phones) were made for the avoidance of people like this.

Ohjailer · 26/04/2026 16:44

It’s easy for others to say ignore him but he’s utterly vile. Of course his bile is going to affect others, especially when none of the men are challenging his views. No one wants to listen to that shit over a bbq.

Sympathy OP.

Pepperedpickles · 26/04/2026 15:07

Not your circus, not your monkeys. The world is full of unbearable men. Just ignore him.

That ‘circus, monkeys’ expression is about the daftest on MN, and that’s saying something.

RightOnTheEdge · 26/04/2026 16:58

I sympathise OP, I hope you manage to enjoy the rest of the bbq.

Don't give him the satisfaction of letting him him know he's getting to you. Just tune him out and daydream about killing him.

mindutopia · 26/04/2026 17:05

Oh I can top that. I have a distant acquaintance (like son in law of a family friend). He claims his first wife ‘date raped’ 🙄 him by drugging him to get pregnant to trap him. Not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES!! They have 3 children. Like 8 year spread between all three, but apparently, he didn’t want kids and was ‘date raped’ all three times (and only those three times it seems). And that’s why his first wife doesn’t deserve any maintenance. 🤔

The sad thing is my friend’s daughter is actually lovely and they needed fertility treatment to conceive because she has some fertility issues. But everyone in the family trots this story out like somehow it is completely believable. 🤷🏻‍♀️ They are otherwise really rational people.

Breadcat24 · 26/04/2026 17:10

Give him an undercooked sausage. So symbolic, so effective, so likely to give him the trots

Holesinmesocks · 26/04/2026 17:12

So why did the thick shit marry her then? Must assume he's lacking in the brains department poor love.

shuggles · 26/04/2026 17:22

@LetsPutThisTwatStraight

The man you are describing is a twat, yet, everyone in this thread is missing the most important thing.

She selected him.

If he is such an insufferable twat, then why was he selected for a marriage and children? That's enabling his behaviour.

Theunamedcat · 26/04/2026 17:24

Just spit in his burger and move on thickos like him never learn

Endofyear · 26/04/2026 17:33

Don't waste your breath on him. Everyone there thinks he's a twat and he's embarrassing himself. However, none of this is your problem. Walk away.

Mrsblobby88 · 26/04/2026 17:47

He is a wanker but it is not your problem OP

PullyDog · 26/04/2026 17:51

Do people really sit down and not move at bbqs until the foods done?

Every bbq ive ever had or been too has never been a sit down meal lol

The food is going all day
