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!

“We’re like the notebook, I know I’ll marry you one day”

And then he will call me all the names under the sun and profess to still love me... 4 years on... via social media... that I then had to block him off... and then delete it because it’s just a whole massive pile of shit. So I just post anonymously here and that is my sort of socialisation :)

"I don't have to pay maintenance because the courts have stopped me seeing her"

"I'm going to get custody"

"I've reported you to SS for working and leaving her with your mum"

"Can you return her sandals please." They were the only pair of sandals he had ever brought her; and they were a size too small when he gave them to her Hmm

I could go on; I have 8 years worth of ridiculous-ness from this twat

CrazyCatLady159 · 12/08/2019 00:00

Oh and having just given birth 15 mins earlier - which he didn't even show up for, he strolls on it; looks at dd laying on me and says

"At least you're not fat anymore"
Even the midwives in the room went ShockHmm

"You will come to your senses and come back to me. I will forgive you in due course".

Rock on Tommy. Still loving being divorced!

"I don't like you reading, you pay your book more attention then you give me to make me jealous, don't you?"
Hmm

My ex sent a message through my DS14 to tell me that I was irrelevant and to get off my high horse - the only people who mattered to him were the children. This was after I had messaged him asking why he had stopped coming to pick up the children every weekend to spend time with them but was busy running around with his girlfriend's son and the children were feeling upset by it. He has now resorted to popping by when in the area and asking the children to come out to see him for a few minutes which doesn't make them feel special at all. Cue the irrelevant message accompanied by swear words to his DS to tell me. He is the lowest of the low. I just told him that the fact you are causing such a commotion about this means that I have hit a nerve and also that I am very much still relevant to you otherwise there would be no need to tell me I was irrelevant if I truly was. Wanker

Hard to know where to start but it might have been the time he accused me of having an incestuous sexual relationship with my own brother because I wanted to go to his 30th birthday party. For an hour.

When I complained that I needed foreplay before sex..
"Well, I'm sorry, but if pleasing me isn't enough for you then there's something very wrong with you"

GodDammitAmy · 12/08/2019 00:53

This is so sad to read. Flowers to you all. Not that you need them you amazing, strong women.

Queenie8 · 12/08/2019 01:11

Ex DH (we'd been split 9 months) telling four year old (and one year old) dc "mummy is a bad bad person", whilst they're out with daddy's friend, the ow he'd been with over 18 months it later transpired.

Ex DH telling any of our friends that he thought would listen, I give that bitch £200 a month to get her hair, nails etc done..... He hadn't paid spousal maintenance nor child maintenance for two years, let alone the mortgage or bills.

You kicked me out, it's upto you to support the kids - yes you twat, I kicked you out for dv, and the straw that broke the camels back was the day you went for four year old dc! I survived, I'd stashed money away sub consciously, for a rainy day.....

I could list thousands of comments from the twat!

slipperywhensparticus · 12/08/2019 01:27

Get a divorce! Fine will you sign the papers this time? fucking yes cant wait to be free of you! (Same week) phonecall from ex HOW DARE YOU TRY AND FIND OUR WHERE I LIVE YOU BITCH so where do I send the divorce papers then you twat?

“You trapped me into having children”

Yes I did. All those times over two years that I - all 5’2 of me - dragged you - all 6’7 of you - to the doctors and the fertility clinic and the likes. If only your marital arts black belt had made you strong enough to stop me dragging you there...

PumpkinP · 12/08/2019 03:01

I’ve also had the you tricked me into having children, yet we have 4 but I tricked him all 4 times he says. Worst part is I actually think they believe the stuff they say

AravisQueenOfArchenland · 12/08/2019 03:02

I thought it was just my ex that came off with shite like this. Today's gem was threatening to take me to court, to be allowed to see ds. Even though he was/is allowed to see him. Because when the time came for him to see ds, it didn't suit him anymore.

He said this morning that he was free all day, and didn't specify a time to see ds, he just said "later". Just as my mum brought ds back and I text ex that ds was back, ex was invited round to his mates (his relative he lives with/I get along with really well squealed on him). As soon as his mates contact him to go for a drink, everything else is forgotten about, even ds Sad

I think the screaming about court down the phone at me, then hanging up before I could reply, was as much for his friends benefit as anything. Easier to blame me for not allowing access, and have everyone feeling sorry for him, than admit he's allowed it but 95% of the time would rather be with his mates or in the pub... God forbid these "friends" of his ever actually realise how much of a deadbeat dad he is...

He also once asked why he had to contribute towards ds's school uniform (he wasn't paying maintenance at the time), when I get a uniform grant. He thought I should be able to get uniform (including a new coat), shoes, bag, pencil case etc, for £30 Hmm. He also still moans that he's not allowed to take ds anywhere unsupervised, or have him overnight, seems to have already forgotten that's because ds was removed from him and brought home by the police, because they deemed him unfit to parent in the state he was in (drunk or on drugs, I'm still not sure which). Clueless, useless, feckless bastard!

Sanctimonious bitch, die...

Fuck off and die.

Charming man.

Mine says he didn't agree to twins... Like I rang up the baby fairy and requested twins.

CheeseChipsMayo · 12/08/2019 05:00

"I just want to be a dad more than anything"Nope he HATED everything to do with parenting apart from wheeling a freshly washed &dressed baby out on parade for a skype with the hideous exPIL.Within18 mths of havingDC he'd ditched us in OZ after having an online affair&moved in with her back in UK..'Im too kind to put you all through a custody battle"after returning toUK for good,re-marrying&never paying a $ in maintenance..

Mintjulia · 12/08/2019 05:20

My ex had an op a while back and couldn’t drive, so I drove DC to his house & back (380 miles) at Xmas.

When I billed him for the £70 petrol, he complained that “he drove every weekend, he didn’t see why he had to pay and why couldn’t we share the driving”

Err... we already share the driving. I do 10 school runs a week, sports day, play dates, doctors, dentist, shoe shopping, parents evenings, swimming lessons....and he drives down and back on a Sunday.

Mintjulia · 12/08/2019 05:29

And the recent funny one. Ex told me that “he wasn’t sure he’d be able to get to ds’s end of term school play”. Grin

DS is leaving the school after 7 years, and ex has never attended anything. No sports days, parents evenings, not once.

LondonSouth28 · 12/08/2019 06:22

This is oddly cathartic to read! '

'I never punched you, I wasn't even looking, I was just swinging my arms around and my fist happened to make contact with your upper arm (right in the middle- allow I have arms like chicken legs...).' Also what is he saying he was doing - what just standing there swinging his arms around or like dancing ...i mean the visual of what he is suggesting happened is amusing!

'You're so controlling, you always have been' - well, while you're drunk and high and never around someone had to look after EVERYTHING for our 3 toddlers now don't they?

'I have no money, I can't afford anything' - he earns a lot of money and has significant savings and investments

'I'm not paying maintenance for you to have your nails done' - yes because with a full time job, 3 small children who live with me that is exactly what I do with the child maintenance. If only I had the time to spend HIS money on having my nails done!

Oh there are so many more and I hear more of these gems every day!

FinnBalorsAbs · 12/08/2019 06:27

When I broke up with him after seven years of no sex and being rejected every time I tried to initiate it: “You’re just a fucking nymphomaniac!”

No, genius. If I was a nymphomaniac I wouldn’t have put up with seven years of not even a passionate kiss.

AravisQueenOfArchenland · 12/08/2019 06:47

'I have no money, I can't afford anything''

^My ex is always going on about how little money he has too. He works full time, doesn't pay rent, or for bills or grocries (he sponges off his relative, who pays for everything), and even gets a free lift to and from work. He has at least £250 a week to piss up the wall every week, after tax and what he gives me for maintenance (which it took a year to finally get him to pay).

He also has the cheek to criticise how I spend the maintenance money, when I'm on the bones of my arse at times trying to keep the house running, bills paid and ds fed and clothed. He really resents giving me anything at all, though he knows it's all spent on ds (though I know he tells his friends otherwise, most of his family have learned the hard way, to take everything he says with a pinch of salt, by now).

It boils my piss. He's always skint, so I'm convinced he either has loads of money stashed away somewhere, uses prostitutes, or most likely, has a secret drug habit.

This is very cathartic.

possumgoddess · 12/08/2019 07:47

I think the worst thing my ex said to me was when I was really upset after visiting my terminally ill father in hospital - he said 'at least you've still got a Dad'. His father had died several years before after no illness at all and at a good age and I had supported him through that, plus he only saw his father a couple of times a year. My father was really suffering with cancer and I was staying with my mother every weekend so that I could take her to the hospital and help her, plus he was only in his 60s. It is a terrible thing to lose a parent at any age but the lack of compassion or any attempt at understanding was the last straw for me.
