I have a bloke on my Facebook who was once a really close family friend. He was my dad's best friend from school and they grew up on the same road, so really like brothers. Like my parents, he married young and had his kids around the same age- so both families were really close in age and enjoyed things like barbecues, birthdays and going out for breakfast on Sundays, ect. As the kids got older, both of our families started going to the pub together and all became quite close as adults and friends. Particularly I grew close to his wife who was the sweetest loveliest lady in the world and I was really lucky to be as close friends with her as my DM.
However, two years ago- he started an affair with an absolutely vile woman (the misogynistic albeit true phrase springs to mind 'eating a burger when you have steak at home') and when we was caught out, he left her and their two teenage sons (one who had leukemia at the time and had just gone into remission) apart from returning to verbally abuse her into getting out of the house so he can sell it. Didn't work, but his poor wife was so utterly ashamed she vanished off the face of the earth. No Facebook, texts or replies to invitations, me and DM stopped by to see if she was okay and she acted normal and invited us in for coffee but it was clear she didn't want us there and looked like she was going to burst into tears in a minute.
He's now got a second family, and has moved into this woman's flat with her three kids, and is playing grandad to her 15 year old daughters 8 month old baby- uploading pictures and statuses all the time about the kids and bubs, and it's so bloody sickening.
Anyway, he's just shared a picture which has 5 likes which says 'my ex is proof to how stupid i can be'. As he has only been with his wife, you don't need three guesses to who he is referring to. Who reckons as it's still early days in the relationship (ok, you're still honeymooning a bit two years later) he still feels the need to make out how crazy his wife was to the OW and badmouth her so publicly.
I know it's none of my business and I wouldn't dare comment because even though my dad doesn't like to see him any more, he would kick off for getting involved. And I know I shouldn't get involved, but IABU to be so utterly and completely disgusted with how someone could slate the mother of their children who he cheated on, harassed and left so fucking publicly to his 563 friends? Especially when his two lovely boys are on his friend's list too?
I have a right mind to get the train back home and ram his router up his arse and see if he can post cunty updates when the signals trying to get through his small intestine.
And J, if you're reading this- please please know that despite what that bastard is telling you, mum and dad are certainly not going to our little cafe for pancakes on sundays with her devil spawn or having them round for curry and wine. We miss you and want you back in our lives, and we keep on wanting to try and cut him out of ours.
