Email from my ex husband...

[Arlanymor]

Dear Arlanymor, sincerely hope you are well. I need to know the date of our wedding because I have to fill in an X form. Are you able to remember please? Best regards, Ex Wanker.

Sent to my WORK email. Which means he had to look it up online.

I divorced him for adultery nearly two decades ago now. Also the clue is in 'our wedding' isn't it? You were there on the day dickhead. We haven't been in contact since 2019 when he kept coming up as having looked at my profile on LinkedIn and I got in touch via their messenger to ask him not to.

This has got me so angry. "Oh Arlanymor - do me a favour please? Even though I am a cheating arsehole and should be able to fill in forms without bothering/the assistance of my ex-wife." The date is on the decree absolute you absolute toilet goblin.

FUMING. FUMING. FUMING.

My mum's abusive exh wrote to ask for her copy of their decree absolute because he'd lost his and needed it to remarry. Oh how we laughed when she showed me his letter! What a turd.

I would be so tempted 😂

Your posts have made me laugh @Arlanymor. Don’t blame you for venting. What a CF. Agree the tone is like he’s contacting his PA. And it’s a back-handed insult to admit he’s forgotten your wedding date.

Sounds to me like he’s looking for an excuse to make contact, especially if he’s previous stalked your LinkedIn.

Just delete the email.

Dear Toilet Goblin,

There’s a one in twenty-eight to thirty-one chance so hopefully you’re feeling lucky. I’ll give you a clue for old time’s sake: it wasn’t the 11th.

Unsincerely,

Dear Toilet Goblin,

Sorry I think I’ve repressed the memory but possibly the thirty second of disMay?

This would be me.

Dear Toilet Goblin

I married you?? Why on earth did I do that?

Arlanymor

But seriously I struggle to do wife work for men I am in relationships with.

I refuse to do it for an ex.

Dear Toilet Goblin,

As this is my work email it is for professional use relating to work matters only.

Regards,

Ignore it. He’s so presumptuous expecting others to do his admin for him. Is he one of those who thinks that’s what women’s role is?
delete it.

"It's on the decree absolute, Einstein". Then block.

Personally I'd just ignore.

I wouldn't give him the time of day. He can clearly get this informal elsewhere if he decided to try.

Not your problem.

If work allow you to block id do that too.

Maybe he's done the same, which is why he's asked you?

Out of the many ways an ex can piss somebody off, asking if they remember a date for an official form (when it's not the date of birth of one of their children) isn't high on my list.

1. I'm loving Toilet Goblin
2. Tell him you can't remember
3. Very helpfully suggest he requests a copy of your marriage certificate to find out (which will involve more hassle and cost him money)

Personally I would reply, but with a slightly different date, perhaps wrong by a couple of days. Just because I’m petty though!

Send him a nice response and give him the wrong date!

Just reply with the date. No hello, nothing else. Just the date.

Are you able to email back a 🤷‍♀️ emoji? Then block him, obviously

Best response on the thread 😊

BTW, cannot believe anyone is suggesting you give him the date. How low is our collective bar for lazy / goady men??!

Hi, sorry can’t remember

End of.

‘Sorry I can’t remember’

Sorry, best laugh of the year with toilet goblin!

I agree, give him the wrong date and a year late!

Send this.

In fact you'd be mad not to.

Tosser.

This!

why are you letting him get under your skin?

Delete, reply ‘can’t remember’ or send him the wrong date!

Path of least resistance?

Blocking him without replying would let him know that he did indeed raise her hackles.
