So when I say OH (kids dad but not living together or in relationship anymore) he has regular contact with children and uses my car to take them out(yes he is insured).
Reason for splitting up;
So inconsiderate
His way is right
Hypocritical
Selfish
Demeaning
So he has not been working for 2 years cause of a medical condition, now a member of his family as told him about a job with excellent pay and he can start soon as he has done his CSCS course.
All been well he could do the courses Tuesday and Wednesday about an hour to hour and a half drive from my house.
On Friday he asked if he could borrow car to drop family member to the job (to keep it open for when he finishes the courses) on Monday morning will be back about 8 in morning, I said yes as long as (fm) pays petrol.
Now he has came out with that he is also picking his (fm) up also after work everyday until Thursday!
I explained he did not say this to me on Friday and that he only said on Monday morning!

AIBU to say no? He said well I need to use the car so can get sorted with courses and (fm) keep job open, I said so what do you plan on doing from Thursday? He says borrow money to hire a car between them.

WWYD and AIBU if I say no? As apart of me is thinking well at least he is trying! But other part is thinking how very dare you just offer something that is not his and think not to tell me I will be ok with it! Bare in mind I have 4(DC) to entertain with them been off school for 6 weeks!
I'm so so so annoyed

Hope I won't be UNREASONABLE to tell him to piss off !
Thought would ask use WWYD

Omg. His text is barely readable and absolutely ridiculous. As I described he's gone into "floundering haddock!" mode. He really is a twat isn't he?!

Ignore.

If you ever do feel inspired to reply. I'd text

"Your garbled & ridiculous opinions no longer matter to me one bit. Please contain your communications to me to clear and concise important information about arrangements for our children. ( Please keep it to 2 lines and find a use for some grammar and full stops) I wish you all the best in your endeavours, regards OP"

Maybe don't add the bracketed bit! Grin

Ignore, Ignore, Ignore ....

What an arsenal. He seriously thinks that he is something special.

perfectstorm · 28/07/2018 18:43

The best (and most guaranteed way to annoy) response is not to respond. You got that message because you're ignoring him and he. can't. stand. it. He's written that to provoke a reaction, any reaction... so just not replying will be the loudest answer there is.

You are so well rid. What a manipulative manchild.

Second @perfectstorm 's post

The money you give for food, mobile phone, petrol should be spent on yourself and your children ! He is an EX, he should be working, independent and paying for everything himself. He should be paying child maintenance for his children. You are treating him like another child, he is not your responsibility

What an arsenal

Best DYAC I've seen in a while!

YANBU however if the course is only two days let him do it and then on Friday morning once he's supposedly passed course and can work, remove him from insurance and put an end to this.

confusedmomm · 30/07/2018 10:02

Only realised its old thread. Well done on putting an end to it
