Yes I may be being unreasonable but I don't really care. I don't want to go into too much detail, but finally the ow has flown back to where she came from with her tail between her legs and hopefully shes not coming back Grin

Are you the wronged wife?

Happyeverafter73 · 05/08/2017 00:45

What happened?

Migraleve · 05/08/2017 00:46

I wouldn't be gloating if my husband had had an affair Confused

RockyBird · 05/08/2017 00:46

Hopefully you sent him on his way too?

Welcome to mumsnet OP

Laughinginyourface · 05/08/2017 00:57

rocky I sent him packing 4 years ago, and yes birds I am the wronged wife.

Migra I'm not gloating that my ex husband cheated, im gloating at the fact that he's cheated on the perfect woman, so perfect that she took great pleasure in sending me pics of them together right up until last week.

You got to keep your cheating partner? Small, small victory OP. I hope he's sorry & stays faithful from now on!!

PsychoPumpkin · 05/08/2017 00:58

Sorry, posted too soon. Go you!

GetOutOfMYGarden · 05/08/2017 00:58

So why would the OW have her tail between her legs? It's your ex who's the twunt.

Laughinginyourface · 05/08/2017 00:59

""so perfect that she took great pleasure in sending me pics of them together right up until last week.""

She's got her comeuppance then.

However she would only be sending pictures if she knew it would bother you,in some way. Speaking from experience, you need to now not be interested in who he's sharing a bed with,for your own sake.

Laughinginyourface · 05/08/2017 01:01

Because psycho she believed he would never do that to her..blah, blah, blah.

Enjoy the moment. I guess she's found out the truth about him now.
There will be people who will judge you for gloating but if someone has caused us a lot of pain I can understand why you are taking a bit of solace from her getting the same treatment that you got.

Laughinginyourface · 05/08/2017 01:03

Of course it's going to bother me I would bother most people, however I've moved on and am very happy and have no interest in who's in my exes bed.

OP posts:
PsychoPumpkin · 05/08/2017 01:05

They never do think he'll cheat on them too

Laughinginyourface · 05/08/2017 01:15

Nope they were soulmates, so says she.

Glad to hear it laugh

Migraleve · 05/08/2017 10:16

Sorry but your OP did make it sound like you were still together. There was no mention of you sending him packing 4 years ago.

In that case I would be sitting back and thanking karma

flumpybear · 05/08/2017 11:31

Sounds like she's got what she deserved, can't believe she was sending you pix of them together!!! That's awful !!

Laughinginyourface · 05/08/2017 12:19

No worries migra it was late and I just had to get it out Grin

flumpy she was vile, I'm not excusing what my ex did but he's never flaunted it in my face, her on the other hand used to make fake fb profiles just to send me vile messages about what sexual positions they'd done the night before.
It's been an uphill struggle for both myself and my dcs but we got there in the end and this is just the icing on the cake.

Aaaaah isn't karma nice? YANBU.

Many years ago (before DP and DD) my then P of 4 years was cheating on me with a work colleague. Long story short, he left me for her. She was everything I wasn't blah blah.

Fast forward a few years, I'm with DP, he's still with OW. His OW is pregnant, I hear through the grapevine how elated he is (some mutual friends still). Turns out when the OW gave birth, the child wasn't his. (He is mixed race, bajan and English, the child most certainly wasn't his).

Turned out the perfect OW had done the dirty and just hoped that the child was his and not the OMs.

Karma! It always comes back around sooner or later!

SpartacusSaiman · 05/08/2017 13:15

Do you know what Op?

People will tell its not good to gloat, why do you care etc.

But i would feel the same as you.

BMW6 · 05/08/2017 14:15

Wonderful OP..........just fucking wonderful !!!!! Grin

Funnily enough seconds ago I posted on another thread about the old saying "pride comes before a fall"........bingo!!

AmysTiara · 05/08/2017 14:21

Yep I'd feel exactly the same as you. Serves the fuckers right Grin
