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???

so many men......so few bullets!

TalkinPeace2 · 29/06/2011 14:23

friends of mine ended up taking ads out in the local paper slagging each other off and between them spent £60k in legal bills

SoloIsAHotCougar · 29/06/2011 14:49

Yes, but karma carries an infinite number of them floosie and the only sad thing about that is that mostly we don't get to see the effects of that bullet!

My Ds's father...

We lost our first baby we call him George.
I went away to train in my new job later that year.
On my return, we went up to bed and I saw make up on my pillow and asked him about it; he said there wasn't and he couldn't see anything.
He swore on his daughters life that there had been no one in my bed with him. I hadn't asked him to do that as I actually think it's wrong to swear on anyone elses life.
A couple of days later I am home from my first day in the new job and the phone rings; it's a girl woman telling me 'your bf is sleeping with someone else.' I engage her in conversation whilst going downstairs to my phone that records and recorded her conversation...as it turns out she can't resist letting me know that she is the one sleeping with my bf.

Conversation ends and I phone knob end and tell him I really need him to come straight home as I'm a bit upset ~ ca't talk about it on the phone ~ he does and I tell him that his friend has left a message on the answerphone... I. Watch. Him. Die. Grin [smug emoticon].
I let him stay, made him go for an HIV test, made him buy me new bed linen, get myself up to scratch financially and then tell him I want him to leave. NOW.

Whilst he's on the loo, I take the money he owes me out of his wallet (not a penny more). It was hillarious hearing him suddenly realise what I was doing and he couldn't get off the loo fast enough Grin So he has to take a day off work and I make him take everything packed into his little rusting car...

Trouble was, I kept seeing him as I just couldn't get him out of my system, ended up pg with my Ds and then split with him.

He wouldn't believe I was pg, didn't want to be a father again at his age (35/36 Hmm)...blah blah another story.

He gets together with someone else, takes on her Ds, gets married, has another Ds with her and calls him... GEORGE!
He has paid nothing toward my Ds's upbringing and hasn't now seen him for almost 10 years.

Sorry! that was loooong!

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 29/06/2011 15:09

I can't add to this apart from ladies, I was watching Spartacus blood and guts or something similar and there was a scene in there that can only be applied to these horrible men. I won't describe unless you beg me as it was pretty graphic Grin

Thanks Grin

I'm going to play my trump card....

The girl who had a fling with my X, did so behind the back of an absolute adonis and gem of a man.

The two philandering shits continue to wallow in their loneliness and grief...

...whilst said adonis and I prepare for our wedding! Grin

(We became friends in the aftermath, one thing led to another. He's more of a partner and parent than ex ever was or will be! I spent many sad years, struggling, devastated and alone with four ...now, I'm like the cat who got the cream - and so's adonis, I believe Wink)

SoloIsAHotCougar · 29/06/2011 16:32

Wooo Hooo! Bast!!! fantastic and congratulations!! Grin

AnyFucker · 29/06/2011 16:49

Poetic justice indeed

There are no words Grin

I've got another happy one.

Quit well paid job of my dream to follow boyfriend across country so we could be nearer his first job out of uni. Knew no-one where we lived and was miserable.
Moved further north to be nearer friends and family. BF decides he'll live away during the week and takes up spare room in a house with a mutual friend and her landlord.
Comes home every weekend and occasionally brings her because she is lonley. Bitch Woman comes out to nightclubs etc with us and gets in massive strop if I won't do her hair and makeup as she wants to look just like me. Assures me more than once she is not after BF but coos over him and buys him lots of presents.
BF swaps job and moves back to live with me - at this point we've been together for 5 years.

We talk about marriage and children and on his insistance, go to look at houses on Sunday
On Thursday, he leaves me for her Shock

Luckily, because I now live somewhere I would never have considered pre-BF, I am in just the right place to meet DH. We got married almost 6 years ago, have 2 DC and are blissfully happy Grin

Plus, exBF always said I'd never fancy him when he inevitably went bald. I always assured him I would because I loved him...saw a photo a few weeks ago - he was right Wink

JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns · 29/06/2011 17:31

My ex cheated, a bit close to home, he is now married to my mum, and the dad of my brother and sister. She's the same age as his mum, How many point do I get?

SoloAgainItSeems · 29/06/2011 17:39

Gay40 · 29/06/2011 17:47

youarekidding · 29/06/2011 17:49

Um:

One-night stand

DS just turned 1yo

she was foreign to country we lived in - same nationality as us though

Showed her photo of DS who was at home with 'ex' Hmm

Asked me to marry him again after - as he loves me (I did tell him where to go)

Told me he had moved to his mums - saw her 3 days later and she didn't know we'd split.

Blonde haired

5 years older.

Oh - had cheated before with a collegue and found out after the one night stand.

op Hope your OK - it's shit but it does get better. Smile

mankymummymoo · 29/06/2011 17:55

do you get triple points if ex was seeing three women?!

HippyHippopotamus · 29/06/2011 18:18

good grief Jj Shock

ThePrincessRoyalFiggyrolls · 29/06/2011 18:25

OMG JJ - You might be winning!

HauntedLittleLunatic · 29/06/2011 18:35

10 points for turning 40 (I literally confronted him with the evidence 2 days after the big one)

Can I have 2.5points for blonde highlights?

How many points can I have for OWDH (still) being best friends with XP (only cos he is burying head in sand...for time being at least.

And how many points can I get for protecting my financial assets to the hilt such that XP is in so much finacnial hardship his business is likely to fold?

Lauzifer · 29/06/2011 18:55

How many points do i get if my xp:

Left me for a lass who he knew had chlamidia then made sure he shagged me before he left (i didn't know what he was up to)
Left me by text
Threatened to burn my parents house down when i didn't give his stuff back straight away

He was a lovely twunt

JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns · 29/06/2011 19:28

I'm glad though, dp is brilliant, we have two dcs and are very happy, ex p and mum oth are miseravle most of the time and he does nothing for any of them so I'm smug relieved I got away

TwoIfBySea · 29/06/2011 20:14

Jesus Jj he truly is a swine amongst swine. But your mum, I don't mean to mess in family affairs (no really) but that's your mum!

:(

JjandtheBeanlovesUnicorns · 29/06/2011 20:22

I know, I realise more now how shitty it was but back then I just kinda shrugged it off and moved on to his best mate for a bit it was 7yrs ago now, me and dp have been together 6, ex p has tried it on more than once, so I know he hasn't changed. As for mum well I'm just glad she's not alone, it was just me and her, unbelievably we are close, I just visit when he works

redwineformethanks · 29/06/2011 20:52

OK can't really compete as this sounds a bit lame compared with stories above, but .......

My first true love was the first man I slept with (having always intended to wait until I was married like a good Catholic girl). He cheated on me with a girl he knew from work. I'd previously met him with her and had no idea they were more than friends. He told me when we were on our way to the airport to go on holiday. I cried day and night for 4 days and in the end we spent a fortune to change our flights and come home early.

Next boyfriend was 25 years older than me. I was 23. he was 48. I guess he was like a father figure in some ways. We made plans together for a big party for his 50th birthday. A couple of months before the party, he dumped me and changed his 50th birthday party hotel booking into a wedding instead, having proposed to the OW in the meantime. A year or so after that, we ended up meeting again through business and he tried it on with me.

amicable - I tell you my story in the hope you will keep reading to the end. After all this, I had major doubts about any guy who came near me and honestly thought anyone was likely to cheat on you, given half the chance. I am now really happily married to a wonderful man and we have a fantastic life together, so please remember that there is life after shit men!

redwineformethanks · 29/06/2011 20:57

............and the older man had previously given me some furniture etc for my flat when he sold his own house and moved into a smaller one. After he married the OW, he sent me a letter asking me to pay for this furniture and gave me his bank details so that I could make payment without contacting him at home.

fit2drop · 29/06/2011 21:32

YES ok I realise I can't win cos I got a good result (eventually) but forgot to add that 6mths into his new relationship he came to me and asked me if he could "sign on as a "lodger" at my house" so he could have more money to help him pay his way with her Shock (fraudulant claim ) and got so pissed off when I said errrrrr no, that he started to smash my house up, I tried ringing police, he pulled the phone off the wall.
My dd just 15 at the time, tiny and probably 6 stone wet through and always had been quite a timid child and would never say boo to a goose , threw the door open looked him squarely in the face and said "My mum has asked you to leave , so I suggest you FUCK OFF....NOW !!"

I don't know who was more shocked , him or me, but he just looked very confused and walked out. Never had any trouble from him after that.Grin

My DD rocks!

SoloAgainItSeems · 29/06/2011 21:42
