To ask your cheeky/entitled ex stories? (lighthearted)

Probably not lighthearted but I would like to hear people's stories about entitled/cheeky behaviour from ex partners to hopefully restore my faith that I'm not the only step parent out there suffering at the hands of total nobhead!
My DHs ex wife once had a complete meltdown and said I hated her kids - because they came down past bedtime and demanded I turn off my tv show so they could watch tv (they had TVs in their room they just wanted to watch the lounge tv) apparently because my DH was a 'weekend parent' (that's all she would allow!) the kids should be able to do what the fuck they like when they like!

She also said we HAD to buy DSD a new coat for some random event/trip that she desperately needed (she didn't but we bought it anyway) she talked DSD into buying a particular expensive brand that she wasn't keen on, she wore it once then rather than return it because DSD said it didn't fit her right she put it away for her own DD to wear for high school several years later!

My ex wanted me to be guarantor so he and his new partner could buy a house. Neither of them had a job. Idiots weren't happy when I refused.

Mine blamed me for getting him evicted and bailiffs going round for unpaid council tax. 2 years after I left. When he told the dc's this they laughed and asked him if I was supposed to pay his bills and mine. Not like I could be blamed for taking his money, he didn't pay a penny.. strangely after they pulled him about this, they never heard from him again.
Well apart from an old picture he put on fb professing his love and how he missed they. The dc's were blocked when they commented asking whose fault that was considering he knew where they were.

Just remember my ex, who was violent towards me three times, telling me, when he was going to get married a year or two later that he had never hit a woman!

duracellred · 03/08/2017 03:25

My DH ex wife wanted to get remarried. Although religion wise, she believed she was entitled to - got married in a registry office in London, then party first and honeymoon, then got 'married' again in a CofE church, then another party and honeymoon a month after the first ceremony (as her husband was CofE) then had another 'marriage' in a Catholic church - and guess what, party and honeymoon! All within a year. She then had the gaul to make me (the step mum) look after her children whilst she had 3 honeymoons in one year (My DH and father of the children worked abroad at the time).

My ex recently demanded that he come over so I could comb through his hair for nits after I told him our DD had them. He got really angry when I laughed heartily and said no, his new gf could have the pleasure.

Phillipa12 · 03/08/2017 07:39

My ex assumed he would be sleeping in my spare room when it was his weekend having the dc so it didnt disrupt them to much, he was a bit shocked when i told him on what planet he thought that would be ok and told him to google local premier inns!

fuckingbubbling · 03/08/2017 09:16

The front some people have is amazing! I have another - she decided that we weren't giving her enough money. And told the CSA that we had the kids one weekend a year if that. Unbeknown to her I had already prepared for this situation and the CSA told her it was 50:50 care based on the proof I had been keeping for two years 😂😡

My ex was always asking to borrow money that he'd never pay back and once he even asked to stay overnight at my house! Said fuck no to that one of course.

TheNaze73 · 03/08/2017 09:26

My ex DW assumed I would sign over half of my unemcumbered house to her when we got married & was shocked with a pre nup. Surprised I tolerated 14 years with the leaching from her & her family

coldcanary · 03/08/2017 09:31

One ex asked me to dog sit for him so he could take his new gf away for the weekend - the gf being the woman he left me for. The only reason I was tempted to do it was because I liked the dog more than I liked him! Didn't though.
Another ex bumped into me in a pub with my DH, cornered me when DH went to the bar and asked me if I would be up for a quick shag at some point because he hadn't had sex for about 2 years. This is the guy who attempted to punch me twice and only failed because he was up to his eyeballs on coke and couldn't focus enough to reach my face... 🙄
I laughed in his face at that one and sent him on his way.

Woah - this is a particularly nasty thread isn't it? TheNaze you sound like a real catch Hmm OP, maybe exwife's version would be different to yours.

fuckingbubbling · 03/08/2017 09:41

I can assure you the versions I'm telling you are the truth. I tried for YEARS to get along with her and nothing was ever good enough! I even babysat her child, on more than one occasion. Helped her with her CV because at the time she wasn't computer literate and numerous other things. Yet there are social media statuses out there that would have people thinking I'm the devil reincarnated 🙄

Exh told my ds's I was a prostitute in the hope of damaging our relationship. .
They are nc with him now.

ghostyslovesheets · 03/08/2017 09:43

ex and I split up when he left me for the OW (our youngest was 4 mths old)

I sold the house and with my money was buying a new build - one day I had a call from the people in the estate office asking if I was cancelling my purchase? Ex had been and told them that I wasn't buying the house WE where buying a bigger 4 bed one together.

I phoned him and he said he was 'coming round that night to sort it out'

He wanted to come back - BUT because it might not work out he didn't want to dump the OW because he might end up on his own!

needless to say I purchased the smaller house for my and the kids - he's still with the OW - but tries it on regularly!

OnlyGodKnowsWhy · 03/08/2017 09:55

My ex tried to get dual custody of our children...whilst in the middle of a court case for assaulting one of them. When I told him he would never have the children 7 days on, 7 days off, he told me I was selfish and his friends (neither of which had assaulted their child) made it work.

fuckingbubbling · 03/08/2017 21:04

Wow there really are some cracking human beings out there isn't there! I just remembered another one:
Ex wife told me before I had dc that she spent a bit more on her other dc at xmas because her and DHs kids get off two sets of parents. Absolutely fair enough. Then sends DSC to our home one Boxing Day asking them to photograph DDs presents and send them to her so she can work out how much we've spent and if they've had the exact same fucking amount!

I ditched my ex-boyfriend because he was manipulative and after my inheritance. He then asked to borrow money and if I would carry on paying for his driving lessons...

WhiskyChick · 03/08/2017 21:32

My ex let me decorate his whole house and pay for various furnishings to get it ready for sale then dumped me to get together with someone serious two days later. He was a bit of a cunt actually.

Dionysuss · 03/08/2017 21:44

When I was a student, and totally broke, a group of us went to an all you can eat buffet for someones birthday. My then bf tagged along too and I was going to pay for his meal. He then proceeded to order a shit ton of drinks. When the bill came he was outraged that no one wanted to pay extra to cover his drinking and told us that the night would have been ruined without him there. So everyone should pay for him to be there.

Idrinkandiknowstuff · 03/08/2017 21:55

Dumped me, and threw me out with nowhere to go (his house, no kids involved) to move OW in, then three months later, after they'd split, and I'd got back on my feet, and started dating again, he asked me not to start seeing anyone else until he'd had time to "get over" our split.
