So I was named as a correspondent in a divorce petition

DP divorced W in Jan 2015 (separated in April 2013, divorce petition issued in Feb 2014 on the grounds on her unreasonable behaviour and granted in Jan 2015). In April 2015 I gave birth to our DD. I am pregnant now with our second DC due in July. My DP has a DSD who is 4 and she spends every alternate weekend with us. Last weekend she asked me whether I was having baby as my tummy is big - I told her that it was supposed to be a surprise for her and she will have a baby brother in summer. My DP also send e-mail to his ExW Fyi that DSD will have a baby brother. Yesterday in a post I received petition in a post dated and stamped by the court in April 2014 naming me as a correspondent in proceeding of DP divorce on the grounds of adultery with an original letter issued to ExW thatshe needs to amend petition as details of marriage certificate do not match. There was also a letter from ExW that she knew about me, she showed dignity by not pushing thru her petition and she let DP divorce her on unreasonable behaviour grounds as wanted to have it done and dusted. Adding that I as a woman and mother myself should show respect and dignity to DSD and have decency to tell her about pregnancy.
I assume that she originally wanted to name me in divorce proceedings and divorce DO on grounds of adultery but filled in petition incorrectly and did not resend it as DP has already issued his petition. But why is she sending this to me now - it is 3 years on since they separated. We are going to have our second baby and she is doing this out of spite. Shall I report her for nuisance?

On another note - I bought a asda extra special lemon and poppy seed loaf and was throughly dissapointed. Can do better myself.

Think I may make my own hot cross buns tomorow - there was a thread earlier on today about it. Did any one see it SmileCake

And the shittiest thing is that there ARE real life OW who are very, very, similar to the OP.

DP is self employed and some money are not declared for CSA purposes.

If what you're saying is true and you're in your right mind, you wouldn't admit something like that here. So it's either utter bollocks or you need help working through your issues. Probably both.

QueenOfThorns · 25/03/2016 22:49

Ooh, it's just like a soap, but even less convincing! Want to see the deletion message.

MrsTerryPratchett · 25/03/2016 22:49

BINGO! What do I win?

GooseberryRoolz · 25/03/2016 22:49

Lemon and poppy seed?

You definitely need HXBs. I forgot the marmalade for mine though. Probably just as well Sad

Fillybuster · 25/03/2016 22:49

Shame, it was just getting fun.

Part of me is still rather terrified the OP is for real, though.

Scoopmuckdizzy · 25/03/2016 22:50

Good grief.

ColeslawSandwich · 25/03/2016 22:51

Waiting for the deletion message.

Where did the funniest insult I have ever read gone?

99percentchocolate · 25/03/2016 22:55

Just read your thread from last year OP and the thing that stands out to me is that the ExW reported him to police several times for DV. He also had an affair (whether or not it was physical, it was definitely emotional), isn't declaring his full income to avoid paying the legal minimum child maintenance, and is so unbothered about his eldest DD's emotional wellbeing that he would spring a sibling on her days before sibling was due.

Honestly, I think his ex had a lucky escape.

BeagBoo · 25/03/2016 22:55

You're a scumbag, OP, and so is your DP. Seriously, real scum. You've done this woman wrong and his daughter. I reported your thread but apparently you're legit, which just makes me very sad. And whoever said the sisterhood kicked you out when you got with a married man is right, so stop looking for it here.

SandunesAndRainclouds · 25/03/2016 22:57

Primal that thread is scarily similar!!

AyeAmarok · 25/03/2016 22:57

Flip Primal, it might actually be true.

How fucking tragic.

AugustaFinkNottle · 25/03/2016 22:58

I hate boasting about my professional life but ExW does not even earn half of his earnings and surprise, surprise. .. relies on benefits

Surprise surprise indeed. If your delightful partner paid what he should in maintenance she wouldn't have to, would she? Why should the taxpayer have to pay for your partner's child when he earns more than enough to do so himself?

Will you be happy with £110 a month in maintenance when he moves on to the next woman?

And you don't live near Hyde Park, you live near Ladbroke Grove.

FuzzyOwl · 25/03/2016 22:59

So OP on you thread last year you commented on 9 May 2015 I did not have a father figure in my life and I do not want the same for my DD. However, you were instrumental in ruining your partner's relationship with his wife and potentially causing the same situation for the daughter he already had?!

Can you not see what a bitch you are and what a twat he is?

Fillybuster · 25/03/2016 22:59

The fact that this might be true is really upsetting.

That poor little girl...not to mention her mum, who sounds as though she is behaving with an enormous amount of self control in all of this.

FairNotFair · 25/03/2016 22:59

Christ, this is depressing

IonaMumsnet · 25/03/2016 22:59

Hi folks. Thanks for all your reports on this thread. We're going to suspend posting on this thread for a little bit, while we have a thorough look into things this end. Thanks for your patience.

LifeCrossRoad · 25/03/2016 23:00

Place Marking just as it's getting fun

AlisonWunderland · 25/03/2016 23:00

He might not pay much maintenance, but her DP is prepared to drive SOUTH OF THE RIVER to visit the his daughter.
To someone who lives in a similar post code to Hyde Park, this is a BIG Deal!
