Mine is this: 'sorry DS maintenance money didn't come through, I didn't get paid this month as my work has gone into liquidation' works for very well know aviation company which would have definitely been in the news had they not paid their staff and gone into liquidation Biggest joke was him texting DS (15) saying he couldn't stay with him that weekend as he was working overtime! So not only was he working for free through the week he was working extra weekends for nothing too!

"I need more money because my maternity allowance reduces next month" - it's the baby she's had with her new partner

pinkelephantsanddietcoke · 11/08/2019 22:02

@Notsurewhyimdoingthis so you need to pay more for a child that's not yours? 🤔

Drsleep mine said ‘I’m not a c*nt’ - that was inaccurate

When asking my ex for maintenance (he doesn’t pay any at all and never has done) “you don’t have kids to get paid!!”

user1473878824 · 11/08/2019 22:22

@Notsurewhyimdoingthis ducking HELLLLLLL!!!

user1473878824 · 11/08/2019 22:23

@Notsurewhyimdoingthis also with actual swearing

Notsurewhyimdoingthis · 11/08/2019 22:25

@pinkelephantsanddietcoke

Yep! I'd never deprive my kids, but I draw the line at having to make up her shortfall because her and her partner need a bigger house, and failed to adequately budget for a new baby!

M4MMY · 11/08/2019 22:27

Oooooh! Oooooh!

"I don't see why I should have to pay full maintenance from the start because you're breastfeeding so it's not like it's costing you to feed them!" (Twins.)

pinkelephantsanddietcoke · 11/08/2019 22:28

@M4MMY that's both hilarious and shocking at the same time!!!! Shock

“Your problem is that you’re too fucking loyal” - my ex when he tried to kiss me knowing I’d just started seeing my new DP. It brought everything home to roost for me, I haven’t spoken to him since.

He’d always maintained that’s he’d never cheated on me despite there being so much evidence to the contrary. Who knows why I gave him the benefit of the doubt but I suddenly realised how wrong I’d got it when he came out with that.

pinkelephantsanddietcoke · 11/08/2019 22:31

@Toffeecakes because that is what we do.....

I never got to travel the world because of you.
He never mentioned it in the ten years we were together. He left me then moved to the other side of the same city with a new woman and never travelled the world. Still hasn’t 20 years later. The wanker.

M4MMY · 11/08/2019 22:37

Pink - I know, right?! I remember retaliating with a big rant that included me listing the costs of nursing bras, breast pads and Lansinoh and the point at which I gave up (and let the CSA do their job!) was when he incredulously questioned why on earth he should have to buy me underwear and toiletries! (Bearing in mind too that we were still married at this point and my life had fallen apart while pregnant and signed off work with HG as a direct result of his lying, cheating behaviour!)

Whatisthisfuckery · 11/08/2019 22:39

My ex has threatened to shop me to DWP for claiming benefits while receiving thousands of pounds a month from my DP, who neither lives with me nor gives me money. Apparently he’s got proof, which I and DWP are yet to see.

He also threatened to report me to SS for indoctrinating DS into being gay for the crime of saying something enocuous about his future girlfriend or boyfriend.

I could fill an entire thread with the stupid and nasty stuff he’s come out with. We are NC now, which is lovely.

M4MMY · 11/08/2019 22:39

Mistle - Confused

Pink - great thread btw!

BadBadger · 11/08/2019 22:40

Not to me but he told his family I was spending all his money when I was a SAHM (I did nothing more than pay the bills and buy groceries) and asked them for "loans" (which he never paid back.) All so he could send money and gifts to other women without me seeing the transactions in our bank statements.

RHOSA · 11/08/2019 22:40

My ex put his hands round my neck, sad he wished I was dead and spat in my face! We'd had a row because I wanted to invite my sister for Xmas but his 'work friend' was coming and he wouldn't get on with my sisters partner. The rest thank fuck is now history! Xxxx

PumpkinP · 11/08/2019 22:40

Sounds like my ex M4MMY when I asked him to contribute half to getting the kids beds I got “I’m not paying to do up your house” they really do think the money is for us don’t they! Not for the child they helped create

MustardScreams · 11/08/2019 22:43

Dd's dad said the reason he couldn't see her was because she smelt like he when he picked her up Confused

Thankfully he is over that now and does see dd, but when he said that I knew I'd made the right decision getting rid of him.

MustardScreams · 11/08/2019 22:44

*smelt like me

Rainbowknickers · 11/08/2019 22:44

The reason I cheated on you with your best mate and beat you up before trying to snatch our child?
You got boring-the kids came first and I missed sex-she was up for anything

Oh I’m sorry-I was trying to bring up 4 kids had just had your baby and couldn’t have sex as I was still bleeding from the birth-the birth that you made all about you and no,pestering me for a hand job 3 days in does not make me ‘up for it’ you nob
Sorry I had other things on my mind like how the hell I was meant to feed and clothe then while you drank all my money away while you laid in bed refusing to get a job/help out sometimes

Thank god you decided not to bother with us once your new shag wasn’t pushing you to hound me for contact and we’ve been doing just fine since-oh and thanks for not paying for him-cash in hand is the way to go in your world

We’ve managed just fine while your drinking your life away

TriciaH87 · 11/08/2019 22:45

When I start full time work I will give you...... Child support. A year in full-time and sod all received. Or when he said he needs to pay less so he and his wife can have a baby. Bare in mind he last made the time to see the child he has 8 years ago

pinkelephantsanddietcoke · 11/08/2019 22:47

Another one of mine.... when I got married to now DH 12 years ago I asked EX how he felt about DS taking my new surname. He said fine... Fast forward to earlier this year when we had to sort out a savings bond thing his parents started when he was a baby. I said, 'oh I wonder if the fact his surname changed will make a difference?' He replies... 'did you actually legally change it? I thought it was just a temporary thing?' ...... EH????

Telling CAFCASS I often go out for a few beers when I hadn’t actually had alcohol for 4 years at the time he said it (which he knew as we’d been split up 4 months and previously was the sober taxi driver every weekend). Nothing against drinking just don’t like the taste or price of it lol.
