Should I LTB now and never look back.
He’s 45 and should know better.

Divorce him. It'll only get worse.

MrsSpenserGregson · 20/06/2019 19:12

LTB immediately

Change the locks

Put his stuff in bin bags and leave it outside the front door

WeeMadArthur · 20/06/2019 19:13

My pet hate is when they use ‘moving forwards’, as if there is any other way we can move through time...

Kyogre · 20/06/2019 19:17

I’m so sorry 💐

That’s awful.

LikeDolphinsCanSwin · 20/06/2019 19:17

I would

WineIsMyCarb · 20/06/2019 19:17

Have you considered killing him OP? Divorce gets you out of it, sure, but he's still free to "reach out" to others with his dreadful phrasing! I have a shovel, I could pop round later...

MrsEricBana · 20/06/2019 19:18

That is bad. Log it with the police in case it happens again.

MitziK · 20/06/2019 19:19

Trouble is with that is he could then 'reach out' from beyond the grave.

I suppose a stake through the heart and burying him at a crossroads could help with that, though.

Summersunshine2 · 20/06/2019 19:19

I think he sounds awesome.

BillMasen · 20/06/2019 19:20

In response to someone using "reach out" instead of email, I once asked if that made a group email a "reach around"...

Muddlingalongalone · 20/06/2019 19:21

Have you shown him the flowchart?

Crunchymum · 20/06/2019 19:21

I work for a US owned co. and we get lots of people 'reaching out' to us.

Best was an email forwarded from a grumpy sales manager where there was lots of 'reaching out' in the prior correspondence and his forwarded message was:

"I think this message if for The Four Tops?" Grin

Crunchymum · 20/06/2019 19:22
  • obviously the sales manager could spell

If = is

Alienspaceship · 20/06/2019 19:23

Divorce. I’m sure this would be considered ‘unreasonable behaviour’.

WineIsMyCarb · 20/06/2019 19:23

@MitziK I'm glad you are thinking ahead. Look at the mess I could have got us into. Shall I bring my stake or will OP have one, do you reckon?

mimibunz · 20/06/2019 19:25

So sorry for your loss. I’ve got a shovel and patio. Flowers
