Okaaaaay...I didn't think I'd have to start a new thread- but...

She's now saying that she and DH slept together a month ago- June 8th, to be exact!

I suppose this is an update thread, really. I am once agsin pissing myself at her antics.

I'm NOT laughing at infidelity- I've have a little bit of experience of this (first gf cheated on me, etc). I'm laughing because it's absolute bs! Not only do I have 100% trust in DH, but she plucked out of thin air the date that he took off work last month, to mainline the new season of OITNB!

But OMG, the details- she could write Mills and Boon!

(In case anyone is wondering, I forgot to block her from the email I use for work).

Sorry if this makes no sense.

Ignore, or witty comeback?

MyOther I've been dying to post a piss take for an hour now- he was actually at tesco for about 20 mins, and I wondered if it involved the frozen fish- but I didn't dare because of the people who are really going through this stuff!

You, dear, have just lowered the tone.

thank you

Pretenditsaplan · 18/07/2017 03:41

Fucking seriously? Your DH is the most devoted man on the planet to you. Jebus she really doesn't know you does she??

Mum2OneTeen · 18/07/2017 03:42

Gosh! This is the saga that keeps going on and on isn't it. I'd be inclined to completely ignore/block her from this point. Life's too short to devote any more mental energy to her. She sounds as though she has MH issues and her behavior is becoming a bit creepy & stalkerish now IYKWIM.

MyOtherProfile · 18/07/2017 03:47

You, dear, have just lowered the tone.
I aim to please! And 20 mins at Tesco? Anything could happen. I can spend that long there just negotiating the self pay till.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 18/07/2017 03:49

😅😅😅😅😅😅

He is NOT a "more than once an hour man.

and I know exactly which episode we both missed

BreakfastAtSquiffanys · 18/07/2017 03:57

Claiming that she slept with your DH hardly paints Ex friend in a good light, does it?

AcrossthePond55 · 18/07/2017 04:23

She has so totally lost the plot that I'm afraid she'll never be able to find it again.

On a semi-serious note, do you think she may have mental problems? I just can't understand someone taking this shit to this degree.

BTW, does her DH or DP know about her and your DH's, ahem, peccadillo? Or should that be pecker-dillo?

T00ManyB00ks · 18/07/2017 04:25

I think this is starting to cross a line into being a bit scary actually. Def keep all your texts and emails and maybe lock up any bunnies you might have at home. Only half joking.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 18/07/2017 04:29

TOO you're completely right. I set up her email to be moved into Spam when she sent me the first one.

Can I please just grow down once more and say I'm sure that Staffordshire Police surely know me by name now?

(Couldn't resist, sorry 😀)

ImperfectPirouette · 18/07/2017 04:45

Christ on a bike. Doing wheelies.

Just went & read end of previous thread & thus her last Evil Email.
(That was somehow almost Evil Emus. I'm really tired, but I'm not sure why my subconscious has taken against emus. V early childhood memories of Rod Hull & his somewhat sinister antics? But see me digress...) How could anyone, ever, make a comment like that about a survivor of CSA? I mean, I know people are stupid. I am routinely frustrated by The Stupid. And am only too aware that people are Not Good with even the concept of girls/women as perpetrators of sexual abuse (& as such will perform frantic mental gymnastics to try to avoid the concept). But that's a special level of wrong all it's own. A neatly labelled little shelf of wrongness upon which she sits. Or commutes between that & her other levels of wrong I suppose. But needs an oxygen tank to breathe at that elevated level of sheer wrong. Am vvv glad you were able to laugh about it - & totally get the Inappropriate Dark Humour Of Coping (turns out that when someone is telling a teenager that they're exceptionally intelligent & articulate & should thus journal &/or email them rather than self-harm & go seemingly interminably rattling on about teenager's insight & intellect apparently the appropriate response is NOT "mmm, yes, get much sharper & I'll cut myself - oh, wait, sorry, that's the problem isn't it?") but am sure you're only too well aware how devastating that comment could've been for lots of people (exacerbating simple fact of her broadcasting something lots of people don't tell anyone/tell v few people about - as she was assuming was case with you, vile article that she is). What sort of deeply warped person DOES something like that?! It's beyond cheekyfuckery & into something worse. Bleurgh.

Also, you win for being in recovery from bulimia & SH. Yes, yes you do. Not entirely sure what. Life, quite possibly. Should totally have a party for that. And put lots of pictures of it on FB. And get all your invitees to, too. Including a sleepover for some of the DC, of course Grin (I'm actually not sure how long I've been self-harm-free for now it's been so long. Sadly am still putting the fun in functional anorexic, but you can't have it all, can you?)

Still boggling over her sending that email. I mean, just... so much SPITE. And obvious spite. Not even well-dressed-up. (Everyone with any class knows spite should always wear evening dress. With either a top hat or a tiara as appropriate.)

Also, what she said about the toilet, while I'm sure she thought it sounded terribly clever - it sounded more like you obsessively scrub your toilet. Or have seriously misunderstood the concept of bog-diving.

Sending the bookmarks allows you to keep on going full Julie-Andrews-at-start-Sound-Of-Music on the moral high-ground. If Zilla's children are at same school as your DC I'm assuming the teachers may recognise the bookmarks as your handiwork. Any chance one of your MN chums could make it known she's not ponied up for them?

New email is utterly bonkers. Particularly hilarious she managed to land on exact date you & your DH were practically glued to each other. Whereas she seems to just be on glue Hmm I mean just... who even what the why now?! What the hell's she hoping to achieve?! What can possibly be going on inside her tiny mind?!

Am v impressed by your stoicism & in-stride taking. I do get the Weathering All The Shite And Carrying On, but must be a wee bit...disconcerting, if nothing else...to have her suddenly flip & start sending these spiteful emails that are intended to really REALLY hurt you & destroy your relationships, even though her - transparent - attempts are failing so very epically.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 18/07/2017 05:14

Imperfect ...I bloody love you- for your humor alone!

I often joke when people notice my scars that I lied about being a butcher on my CV, so had to practice!

Being so open about my Headshit- past AND present- has led people to accuse me of attention seeking or whatever (not my true friends, but the fuckbowls I have recently bid a massive addifuckingoss to). Horseshit! Because, a) what the actual fuck have I got to hide, and b), three little words...I Get It. How mint is it when someone says those words to you and you can tell they actually do?

If you've been a minute, an hour, SHF, that's an achievement! People like her have the least idea of all about the strengthit takes to tell someone "I'm feeling crappy" instead of making friends with a razor again! Or the toilet bowl...😅 (that's a smile shape btw, not an open-mouth-puke-shape).

And...fuck it- I might as well admit it. Yes, I was upset about the CSA comment (sounds like the name of a bank to me 😅) but for the exact reasons you've just outlined on your post... I can cope with it. I was Born Pissed Off. If my friend (the one who got the email) had gone through that as a child, it may have been triggering! How DARE shw take the piss out of something like that? (actually, am I a hypocrite now, because I sort of do the same, even though it's myself I'm laughing at?)

Fuck a moose, that was a proper essay. I'm ok, honestly. Your post just allowed me to get angry for a minute. Thank you.

Now I feel as if I can go back to giggling.

RebootYourEngine · 18/07/2017 05:29

What a bitch. Sounds like someone other than you has said something to her about her behaviour and she is retaliating, trying to make you out to be jealous.

Well DH said the other day that Webber had written a song about me...

"I closed my eyes...
It made no difference"

😅😅😅😅

Sorry- the Inner Circle (and you lot) are allowed to take the piss! 😊

Were you watching OITNB with your DH? Or are you trusting he was home alone that day?

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 18/07/2017 05:46

We were watching OITNB together. Us Oringies (?) had known for weeks when it would be broadcast, so I think we all planned ahead!

Brenna24 · 18/07/2017 06:02

Do you think she would get it if you went her a pack of biscuits through the post? Because I don't see how else you can get through to her how ridiculous she is being.

ImperfectPirouette · 18/07/2017 06:05

I tend to go with a very wide-eyed look & haunted whisper of "there's a REALLY good reason for those signs at the zoo that say not to feed the animals" when I joke about my scars Grin

Am not so good with the being open. (Partly thanks to a whole thing with one group of "friends" seeing fit to tell entire world about a relapse. And then being shitty with me when I was angry & upset about this Hmm Talk about a failed experiment...) Totally understand the appeal of it though - I have a few friends with anorexia (very much NOT "Ana Buddies", because I'm not some weirdy ProAna creature, not destroyed that many brain cells yet) & the ease of being around People Who Get It = glorious. (Obviously meeting for a meal can be hilarious. Though none of us are into competitive undereating shenanigans or anything. We can, however, be found looking at our food like we think it might bite us...)

Know what you mean re: how CSA sounds (& think it might be Child Support Agency somewhere, which seems ironic, or a bit twisted, at least). Don't think it's hypocritical of you to make jokes - it's Your Thing, as it were, and jokes are a way of taking ownership of what happened & processing & coping etc. But nobody else gets to make those jokes about it because it's taking control away from you again. (Blah blah therapyspeak blah). You'd not make a kind of general rape "joke" or mock someone else's experiences would you? And therein lies the difference.

Letting yourself be angry matters. I mean, clearly giggling = also excellent, but letting yourself get angry about someone being shitty to you = Important. (Will spare you the therapyspeak on that one. I don't purge but it might make me vomit all the same...)

Aua. I have a cat trying to tapdance on my ribcage. Thankfully not wearing tapshoes. Or, er, shoes of any kind for that matter. Poor cat. I've been awake so long that clearly it absolutely MUST be breakfast time by now. And my stomach just made a quite unholy noise & my cat decided the correct protocol in this situation = smooshing of feline face into human abdomen (icy cold nose first, of course) followed by some vigorous purring. Followed by looking Terribly Wounded & flumfing down beside me, pressed into my side with chin up on my ribcage, still putting, but punctuated by the occasional little squeak. Oh & holding paws with me of course.

I hope you've managed to get some sleep Radley - might end up with some "interesting" crochet trying to work with your eyes closed...

ImperfectPirouette · 18/07/2017 06:08

purring, not putting, cat wasn't attempting to practice golf skills... that presumably happens while I'm not watching as I'd only put them off...

Hortonlovesahoo · 18/07/2017 06:10

Is she for real?! I mean seriously? This smacks of either desperation or some sort of problem. If I were to respond (and I'm not sure I would) I'd be saying something like: what are you hoping to achieve? You've burnt a bridge of friendship, spread personal information around and are now lying?! WTAF?!

It could be that if she doesn't get a reaction she'll start getting more elaborate for demanding attention. I'd definitely be keeping records of everything in case you need to go to the police.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 18/07/2017 06:15

You dill- I work with my eyes closed anyway!

And, hell yes- don't even get me started on Anabuddies, or- sorry agsin if this offends- wannarexics. We'd actually had a takeout one night, and ahe told me she wished she could "just throw it up like you" instead of feeling stuffed. I wouldn't have let her anyway. There was still domestos around the toilet bowl, and it's fucking expensive! 😅
