Am trying to turn my current feelings of rage and hatred into something a bit more lighthearted. Just wondering if anyone else has been dumped in a more cliched manner, for a more cliched OW than me. So here goes -

I was recently dumped by my H for a woman who is -

half his age 10 points

blonde 5 points

from overseas 10 points

a STRIPPER 50 points

Oh yes, for some bonus points he started his affair while I had post natal depression 10 points , and guess how old he is going to be this year? Yes, later in the year he will be 'celebrating' his 40th birthday 10 points

So I calculate my total score to be 95 points ! I'm so proud! Can anyone else match me???

Monty you have some corkers there, you are definitely in the leader board. Maybe some more information required to take you into top place Grin.

Gaaah, mo3d will have to award you 20 for your Christmas Eve dumpee status, we are neck and neck again!

Oooo, contraversial shakey, not sure how to score an older woman. Am loving that he called out your name! And what a thoughtful chap to give you prior warning that he had feelings for her, before he actually shagged her. What a gent. In fact I think you may have just taken first place for that one!

I remember you, amicable

you heard about wwifn ?

DialsMavis · 28/06/2011 23:27

She was my best friend
He was super jealous and paranoid and I could never figure out why
She told me all about it(at Christmas)
It was my fault
DS was 4 months old when it happened

amicable · 28/06/2011 23:29

It is spooky isn't it mo3d, the old mid-life crisis is alive and well and splitting up a family near you!

We all deserve a huge hug, lots of Wine and most definitely a drunken girls night out with lots of bad dancing.

Sounds fab

ChaosTrulyReigns · 28/06/2011 23:32

I'm really sorry amicable, for whacking my twopenceworth in.

I have very little experience of this and was unaware that this could possibly help.

The thread seems to be serving its uplifting purpose for you and I hope that it can be cathartic for you.

Again, alopogies.

I have AF. I am considering a strongly worded letter to my MP. Very sad. She was spot on with all her observations and predictions (even though I ignored a lot of them initially and thought 'surely that's not true', she was proved 100% right). My Ex couldn't stand her, because I kept quoting 'the script' to him and it drove him mad!

Ah, Dials what a shit head. The best friend thing is just horrible. Hope you are ok now and stronger than ever without the pair of them to drag you down.

OP, you win!

FWIW, I can't compete. XP dumped me for a woman who was, ...

  • ten years older
  • brunette
  • morbidly obese
  • not only from the same country but actually a local
  • a nurse

I wondered for ages what it was that she had that I did not - only when I saw them together a year or so later did I realize that she was happy to stroke his fragile male ego in a way that I simply refused to.

Unfortunately for him she kind of grew a spine after they had a child - naturally poor XP is now a shared XP of hers and mine.

AnyFucker · 28/06/2011 23:34

ah, ok

a crying shame, innit

have seen a couple of threads needing her wisdom recently but didn't have the heart to post myself as she wasn't around for us to do our bad cop/good cop routine Sad

amicable · 28/06/2011 23:35

No problem Chaos Smile, sometimes it's necessary to laugh at how ridiculous my life has become! And I know it could be so much worse and I'm at the 'counting my blessings stage' (having left the 'throwing furniture violently around the room stage' - ahem).

Thanks for being so gracious amicable.

Smile

I wish you luck for whatever you need.

Gay40 · 28/06/2011 23:39

I wonder how many points I get for being dumped for someone 20 years older than me. When it all fell apart 18 months later with lots of debt involved, I felt somewhat vindicated.
This was a decade or so ago...now it makes me think: oh, well.

DialsMavis · 28/06/2011 23:40

Of god, I couldn't be happier, really and truly.... I was the dumper in the end and he has gone on to spread his seed far and wide across the south coast andgavehispregnantgirlfriendchlamydia. If the fucker would give me the £500 he owes me in maintenance I would be even happier though. Pleasingly ExBF's new fella bares more than a passing resemblance to Colonel Gadaffi Grin and now I'm madly in love with DP who was under my nose all along Smile.

amicable · 28/06/2011 23:40

Notadude, god yes, the old stroking of the male ego, especially once naughty old wife starts 'neglecting' his poor needs because she has the gall to focus on their children. What a surprise that the nurse is now an XP too! Bet he could not cope with her attention being drawn to the new baby. Did he run back to his mummy so she could make her special soldier his favourite dinner of eggies in a cup with some toastie fingers?

AF, it is a shame. You two had that routine absolutely spot on Grin. Are you still in touch with her?

amicable · 28/06/2011 23:42

Ah dials, that made me go all gooey (the new DP bit, not the chlamydia bit!)

Am looking forward eagerly to the falling apart bit gay.

mrswhiskerson · 28/06/2011 23:44

What a dick he sounds , I am sorry you are goin g through this but I really admire the way you are coping with it . Just wait til she gets sick of him and leaves him high and dry lonely and realising he isnot a young stud just another stupid fool who is ruled by what is in his underpants. Then he will want to come back realising what he had was pretty darn fab but by then it will be too late .

Tell him to knock himself out while it lasts , he will need some nice memories when he is sitting in the bedsit alone wondering how he could be so stupid.

Monty27 · 28/06/2011 23:46

Amicable you are well shot of him and it gets better. You should score yourself for your strengths. All dumped women should.

he also stood in court at divorce settlement and said his (different by now) gf was having a baby. He told my dc's she was. We settled financially on this new information. Except he omitted a vital piece of information, which was that the baby wasn't his which they all knew and she was up for helping him to get more money which he did

Sorry rambling now.

Loving your stalwart posts Amicable.

AnyFucker · 28/06/2011 23:46

Grin at resemblance to Col Gaddafi

are lurkers who just want to point and laugh at the wankers welcome on this thread ?

amicable · 28/06/2011 23:47

Thank you, and will be changing the locks shortly mrswhiskerson. Mmm, feel a bit of Gloria Gaynor coming on!

I'm not big on the revenge thing at all, but I did suspect it was all going to go tits up quite sharpish. And said so.

amicable · 28/06/2011 23:49

Holy God Monty, what a total tit. Surely some sort of suing of the bastard at a later date would have been called for?

All laughers and pointers welcome! I love a bit of laughing and pointing Grin.

amicable · 28/06/2011 23:51

I bet you got a lot of mileage out of your smug 'I told you so' smirk when it did indeed all go tits up gay.
