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!

Oops sorry about the typo in the first sentence, should be "one of my personal favourites"

AravisQueenOfArchenland · 12/08/2019 10:49

The same bloke who goes awol for days, sometimes as much as a week or two, and sometimes only sees ds for as little as half an hour a week, sent me this the other day;

"I am tired i want to see him tomorow because u took him out most of last week without informin me,my mother new more than i did"

I phoned him for clarification, and yes, he did indeed suddenly, out of the blue, expect me to inform him of 8 year old ds's every move Hmm. He'd called to the house while we were out one day, and was raging that we weren't in (he never calls, just shows up, usually much later in the evening when we are usually home). Also raging he wasn't informed I had a week off work. Apparently he thought the few places I mention in passing/general convo that we've been or are going to, were the only places we actually went. It seems to have blown his mind that we go other places sometimes, but don't think to mention it to him (and why would we?) It seems he thought he knew my every move Confused

His mother calls all the time to see how ds is, unlike him, so obviously she knows more about our day to day stuff, as she takes more of an interest. I think he was under the impression ds and I endlessly pine for him in our free time, watching and waiting patiently for him to deign to appear.

We need a proper vomit emoji.

"I only hit you because of my brain tumour" He did NOT have a brain tumour

"You've been seen in town! What do you think you're doing going into MY town?"
Oh my goodness me!! I was seen in town!! How very dare I go to Sainsbury's?

Thank God he's in prison.

So, after saying many times during our 10-year relationship that he ‘strives to be just an honourable man’ he developed a massive coke habit and cheated twice and sent disgusting online vids to many other women, he has paid no maintenance for his daughter and has recently met a Brazilian bird on Tinder and paid for her flight into UK and is bringing her to a flat with no hot running water or carpets (I genuinely feel sorry for her) - He also mentioned recently that he has problems finding the Brazilian girl attractive and that she needs to ‘lose weight’ - this coming from a ‘man’ who is a streak of p@ss with an impossibly small p@nis - I despair 😂

AravisQueenOfArchenland · 12/08/2019 11:17

I thought of another one. I bought ds a second hand mobile phone recently. A few days later his mum mentioned that he had paid for it. I asked did he maybe mean some of his maintenance money went towards it (which it did), but nope, he'd been bragging to her about how he gave me the full amount (over £120). A relative of his gave him £30 towards it, but I don't know where that went, only that it wasn't passed on to me.

When we were together, he used to pretend to go to work on his days off, (so I'd think he was in work, when actually he'd be in a bar or coffee shop somewhere). Took me ages to cotton on.

If I had a pound for every lie he told, I'd be richer than Jeff Bezos. It really is endless

When I ended the marriage after 2 years of physical and mental abuse:
"You will never find another man like me again"

He was right. Never did find as big a dickhead as him in all the years since looking.

Same dickhead 3 months after we separated and I had to contact him about the house via email:
"Take my effing surname off your email address and never use it again or I will bring you to court"

If DC turns out gay, it's my fault because they played the part of a female, in a school play at 6 years old.

Casander · 12/08/2019 11:42

I've had court threats too, "If you keep telling people his sister on why I wasn't "allowing" him to see DS I assaulted DS I will take you to court and sue you for slander"

Erm, but you did and were found guilty and convicted. Not sure that's how slander worksHmm

Coffeeandchocolate9 · 12/08/2019 11:55

My friend's charming ex

"I can't afford to pay you as much for DS1 & 2 now that I've got another baby --with the woman I cheated on you with"

I'm sure DS1 & DS2 will magically cost less to keep now you have chosen to have another child Hmm

TixieLix · 12/08/2019 11:59

We tried for years to have our first DD - fertility drugs, IVF, the lot - and eventually (to our shock) conceived naturally. We thought it was a fluke and didn't bother with contraception afterwards. Two years later I was pregnant again and he said "I don't think I can love another DC as much as DD, I want you to have an abortion". Needless to say I didn't.

Doormat247 · 12/08/2019 12:12

'I haven't got the energy for your shit - why the fuck did you get yourself pregnant when you know I have more important things to worry about. You're a c*nt'. Then screamed insults at me for a good ten minutes.
He then proceeded to completely ignore me until I finally got hold of him after I went through an abortion at 12wks. He gave zero shits and totally dropped contact.

The worrying thing is that he'd never been anything but loving and caring before this point - and had been wanting to plan a baby with me but I'd said I didn't want one yet.

fluffyblue · 12/08/2019 12:22

'Let me in the house on Christmas day to see my son or I will get a gun and shoot you'
After I foolishly asked him to lend me money for a week to buy a new washing machine, in exchange for allowing him to come in the house, he threatened to get people to break in and steal the washing machine from me after I refused him access.

youarenotkiddingme · 12/08/2019 12:30

Its actually shocking how many of these people are out there - presumingly holding down jobs and hiding these personality traits from other people.

Some of these are horrific.

My Ex was a wanker. A prize wanker. But I'm truly grateful he was never a violent sexually assaulting cunt. Just a run of the mill immature egotistical one.

Thanks to you all.

Boysmomma · 12/08/2019 13:05

soo many, but my favourite has always been:

"We'd still be together if you hadn't involved the gards"

He, to this day, blames me for the breakdown of our marriage. Nothing to do with over a decade worth of DV, SV or EA, no no, the fact I had the audacity to call the gards for help is what ruined it. We'd been having a lovely time until that.

But despite all my shortcomings, he is still willing to take me back......once I withdraw my complaint. What a hero

Fairylea · 12/08/2019 13:13

“I could only go out with a Thai woman because anyone white would remind me of you”.

Dds dad. I left when she was 6 months old. She’s now 16. He was my first proper boyfriend and we were together 5 years before having dd. What a catch! Confused

Legawein · 12/08/2019 13:23

Asking me to pay my half of his car purchase payments, because I had occasionally driven the car, and had paid the deposit for him. Even said I could borrow it on occasion if I wanted when he wasn't busy, as long as he knew where I was going. When he found out I was dating DH asked why I left him for a loser like that, stalked me when DH and I moved in together because "I wouldn't talk to him about why I'd moved on with my life". Last contact was sending me a message through a mutual friends facebook (friend was mortified and cut him out after this) after I had given birth to DS saying he would be willing to take me back still as I'm the love of his life, but I'd have to leave my "bastard" child with its "bastard" father.

thesuninsagittarius · 12/08/2019 13:46

'I couldn't make you happy.' Well maybe try not shagging my best friend, trying it on with my sister, lying about everything, financially abusing me etc...The thing that really got me was after we seperated he said 'you'll have to stand on your own two feet when we're divorced' I left home at 17, lived alone until I married him and am very good at coping by myself. He was still living with his parents when I met him, lived with me for 27 years, then back to his mother for a couple of weeks, then started love-bombing schmoopy until she let him move in with her. I suspect the 'own two feet' comment originated from exMIL anyway, the shit-stirring old bitch.

delilahbucket · 12/08/2019 22:38

I can think of thousands of things, but some of the most stupid were "you're a rubbish mum because you work full time".
"Sorry I didn't send you the money for my phone bill, I was too busy". Bearing in mind he had no job, lived with his parents, no social life, I asked what he was busy doing. "Thinking", he said.
"Don't send ds to a childminder, he'll learn too much and then get bored at school like I was and he won't want to be there". All because I was fed up with his messing around being the full time childcare when we split up, so I said I was sorting actual childcare.
I've already had all the excuses about why he can't inform the CMS he now has a job and why he might not be able to make his first maintenance payment. All before he'd even started the bloody job 🙄. Talk about preempting.

Tillygetsit · 12/08/2019 23:28

" You'll never find anyone else to love you. You're physically repulsive"
" That baby can't be mine as we can only have boys in our family"
And my personal favourite at 3am after I'd kicked him out "I want my socket set back"
Loads more. Isnt it weird how so many men are alike?

Itstheprinciple · 13/08/2019 10:52

I can't believe the same themes keep cropping up through lots of these. There really are a lot of men out there who think the world revolves around them and can't see why they should have to (or, shock horror, actually want to) take care of their own flesh and blood.

notacooldad · 13/08/2019 10:55

If you finish me with me I'll kill myself.
The twat is still alive and well in Todmorden all these years later!
