Exh showed up looking like a fashion model!

[RosaDiazepam]

Skinny distressed jeans, boots, superdry leather type thing with fur collar, freshly shaved, hair in a quiff

Me & kids were like
After 10 years of not bothering to shower properly (once a week?) or brush his teeth and stinking the place out with his beer/fag breath aibu to feel a bit bemused/amused??

Lighthearted of course he is entitled to sort himself out and why do I even care ? No I definitely don't want him back
aren't superdry jackets expensive? Bastard,I'm scraping the cupboards for t tonight still happier though

unfortunately he never got the new belly to go with his new, tight shirts.

😂😂😂

Oh my, VocationalGoat your post had me laughing out loud and scaring the dog....

Saw my ex the other day, he has grown his hair and had it cut in a " trendy" style, all fringe and sideburns< he's 51 FFS> skinny jeans, a lurid puffer jacket and a shirt with elephants all over it. Pmsl, as did my sons, 24 and 20.

leather trouser and a leather bandana!

This is funny. DS1 is 16 and wears the skinniest jeans, but even he won't wear Superdry.

I was in Primark today in the men's section and saw bandanas. I asked Ds2 (14) and he said 'they go round your head' I iften see them on labradors.

*often

VocationalGoat - "They will survive off air, noodles, and a deep appreciation for distressed denim".

My cousin's ex did this. My fondest memory of him (the only fond memory to be fair) is the time he turned up to pick up his daughter dressed like he was a reject from One Direction. All floppy hair, skinny jeans and shiny Cuban heels. He was 48.

Guffawing at "deep appreciation for distressed denim."!!!

My ex went the other way; he was always odd but now his main eccentricity is to dress like a tramp.

I have sometimes felt the need to explain to people who didn't know me before and who have been unlucky enough to encounter him that he used to look normal.

Rosediazapm,
Thank you for starting this thread.
One of the funniest I've read in a long time.

My ex does this - he is clearly "dressed"
by his new wife - I find it hilarious.

He looks like an utter knob.

What was he wearing today?
Or do we now have to wait till next week for his next exciting ensemble.

mn advises women who are having to be single parents to get their job,financial, roof, legal etc ducks in a row. I have never seen advice to get hair, body decs, clothes etc done - because there are far more vital matters to attend to - like dcc and staying alive? So the men who think women have time to look after their appearances when it is survival time , just confirms that they do not do the heavy lifting.

Imagine you were a bunch of guys slagging off your exes....you'd be flamed pretty sharpish.

I am guessing that happens on websites where bunches of guys hang out SeasonalVag.

You think?

If a man's formerly unremarkable partner started dressing in leather trousers and a leather bandana he'd be more than justified in having a guffaw in my opinion.

Oh God brings back memories of my dad doing this

Though he has always been vain. His ex wife was much younger but we think the sudden change was him having an affair

A sudden liking for lots of denim dyed hair (odd reddish colour) tattoo and a diamond earring to finish the look off

He looked a prat and we told him. Now with his new (4th) wife who is of course much younger he has calmed down a little but still thinks he has got it

I love him but he is an embarrassment at times

I admire these posters for seeing the funny side, especially when these exes with the tacky new togs are spending the money on crap clothes and not their kids (did the disapproving posters miss that particular point?).
Would be easy for OP to rant and rave about the unfairness of it all, but she's chosen to see the funny side. I think that's great.

Firstly, let me say that it is widely accepted that Superdry is the brand of choice for middle aged men who find themselves single and on the "market" again particulary if they are cheaters. If I had a pound for every time I have encountered this phenomena, I would be very rich .

However.....

In my case, my ex-h has done exactly the opposite. When he left us, he looked at his very best, handsome, ripped, buff, great hair, well dressed and much younger than the 41 years he was then. Much older OW had other ideas. He now looks like a hillbilly. Has put on around 4 or 5 stone, she has given him the most horrific haircut children's hairdresser, he alternates two shirts, both checked, both huge, both awful. He wears hideous flappy ill fitting jeans. He looks old, lined, no longer has a jawline and although OW is significantly older than him, he is now looking less like her son. It fascinates and astonishes me. I wouldn't be seen with him now, I'd be horrified and embarrassed. Heaves a huge sigh of relief .

OP, you have to laugh, he is a bit of a tit isn't he?

Vocationalgoat...Your post made me laugh out loud.

Let's hope that his "supermodel" is just that ladyboy

Ethelmercaptan...yes yes yes, me too! Particularly to the parents at DS's school who must think I actually chose to marry this tramp who didn't look like that ever when he was with me. It horrifies me given the amount of times people say to me "what on EARTH did you see in him"

My ex did this. When together he was pretty much football shirts and trackie bottoms. He fucked off to the OW and came back in trendy tops and black jeans. What a nob.

He has also aged really badly after we split. Me, I'm still very youthful, I do wonder why.

TaliZorah, no doubt the grass wasn't as green as he thought and indeed your continuing youthfulness and beauty are down to offloading a large turd .

I do wish I could get to the bottom of why my ex-h has gone the way he has...I find it the weirdest thing ever. I am not sure why it bothers me so much, you'd think he'd want to look fab for OW. I think she's scared he's going to run off with somebody else thus ensures that nobody else will ever look at him .
