That made you think - what a knob! And that you are well rid of them!

lighthearted thread -

I’ll go first -

Recently my ex changed his profile picture to this wanky AI generated image of him in the middle with a halo and two angels either side… he actually gave himself a halo 🤣 What a knobhead! Like he was Jesus 😳(He was a massive narcissist. My ex. Not Jesus)

What are the wankiest things your ex has ever done?

Mine went to London over the bank holiday weekend.

35 degrees in Wembley Stadium and he’s wearing a long sleeve tshirt, jeans and hiking socks.

Enjoy your heatstroke, loser.

I hope he was supporting the right team!

Your father is minted but you couldn't afford bread? Did he not help you out?

Glad the plan worked though.

God no

He's the tightest person I've ever met

He stopped paying for me years ago,about the time i started secondary school-it wouldn't have dawned on him to do a shop or slip me a few quid for nappies

He did buy (then) baby dd an outfit from a car boot sale once-it cost him 10p and almost 30 years on,he still bangs on about it (the only thing he ever bought my dc andd they are adult's now)

He (and my mother) are the tightest people I know-there is tight and then there is them

Im nc with them

I need more info about the profile pic. What on earth possessed him to make himself look like an angel/ Jesus? Has he been sucked into a cult? Is he a cult leader? Are you sure he hasn't passed and a grieving relative has added it? Too weird.

Was living with partner and it was not working. He agreed to move out. Fine sounded as amicable as these things can be. He moved out in the day when I was not there. Mistake on my part. He took loads of stuff which was not his and also he took every light bulb as apparently he had purchased all of those. Split was not amicable after that point.

2 weeks post breakup- Slept with a girl we were mutually friends with (I was very close to her) and got her pregnant, something her husband wasn’t capable of doing due to ill health so I quite enjoyed both seeing who he really was & her explaining her way out of that one.

He was supporting the one that lost… and lost their semi final.

Sure that will explain it 😂

ArtfulPinkBird · Today 19:07

Oh too many to mention but to name a few

Would work out when he could take "sick" days at work so as not to trigger any of the absence procedures to give himself extra 'holiday' because he'd earned it

Intentionally pick me up late so I didn't ask him to do it the next time

Refused to pay for a TV license because he thought the warning letters were empty threats

Left a car he owned at the bottom of our street unmoved for months then got angry when the police towed it away.

Would eat fried chicken in bed 🤢

Cheated on me with someone almost 20 years younger than him, and 10 years younger than me!

When we split, he wrapped and gifted his mum a diffuser and some oils I'd left for Christmas! Tight arse.

What a catch.

Thankfully I married someone else.

Arlanymor · Today 19:08

Some of my choice highlights and to be fair, my ex is a selfish arsehole and definitely a wanker, but he's not cruel or evil like some examples on this thread.

  • Deleted my novel off MY computer to install Medal of Honour while I was away
  • Cut into MY brand new car bumper and installed a tow hitch for his eBay jetski (despite being told not to and having his own car) while I was away
  • Installed his penis into a mutual work colleague while I was away...

... Where was I you ask? Doing shedloads of overtime in Sweden to pay off our wedding which had been less than a year prior...

Oh and he continues to be a tit to this day - search for 'toilet goblin' on here!

My ex has actually married again in another state and we're not divorced. He's "disappeared" (to avoid paying maintenance) and not much I can do about it.

Is bigamy not a crime where you are? I'd report him to the relevant authorities (state, law enforcement, civil, religious, whatever,) because he 100 pct deserves it.
And if the police do eventually catch up with him, well, shrug.

Loulou4022 · Today 19:09

Got married and divorced not once but twice since we broke up 13 years ago!! And that’s after being married and divorced when I met him!!

CalliopeFosterBeauchamp · Today 19:10

I love this thread!

Mine: had a baby with his first partner in the UK, then started an online relationship with an Australian, and abandoned his partner and baby to go and live in Aus with the online woman (he lied about this when I met him).

During Covid, the Australian dumped him, so he moved back to the UK, which is where I met him. After two years, he told me and his now-teenage daughter that he was moving to live in the same town as his daughter.

What he actually did was move to Thailand to live with another woman he’d met online. When his parents found out where he was, his mother emailed me to tell me the truth about the Australian. Her words: “he’s got real issues and you’re better off without him.” His mother was lovely :(

I feel so awful for his daughter. Her view of men is going to be so screwed up.

—-

Friend 1: she left him as he was an abusive alcoholic. She moved out of the family home and into a flat with their son. After three months, he told her he was moving in with someone else and wouldn’t be paying the mortgage on their house anymore. She went round the following day and he’d put all the furniture in the garden. It had obviously been there for weeks and was all ruined.

Friend 2: they’d been married for years with two kids under ten. He left her out of the blue, taking one small bag of clothes with him, and she was shell-shocked and very depressed.

Two weeks later, he called her and said he’d made a mistake and that he was coming home. She was thrilled and SO relieved.

The day after he came home, they sat down to sort out finances. She left him logged into all the bank accounts and went out with the kids for a couple of hours. When she came back, he’d emptied their accounts and the kids’ savings accounts, cleared out his wardrobe and taken all the cash and portable electronics.

He hid all his money during the divorce and she obviously couldn’t afford a good finance person to find it. Twenty years later she’s still dealing with the financial repercussions: she’s 63 and working two jobs, he’s living mortgage free in a five bed house.

My ex got an “only god can judge me” tattoo, posted it to Facebook and my dad tried to send it me with the message “lol what a fucking knob”. But because he’s older and tec illiterate he shared it, with the caption “lol what a fucking knob” and tagged me in it. Dad no longer tries to use Facebook 😭.

Your dad is a legend!

Sent me an email supposedly from his new partner, saying how well he was treating her, buying her a new car, how much he loved her, how nice their new house was.

I didn't reply (of course) but WANTED to play along and say something along the lines of 'If you're happy paying for a woman, crack on.' but I knew the best thing to do was ignore it.

Omg you win. This is peak wankiness.

Indeed, but a lonely middle aged man now who doesn't live with none of his kids so karma comes back.

Emailed his kids after we split and said he hoped they could keep in touch..

My ex- (to whom I was never married) rang me up several years after we'd split to tell me he had just got engaged to a woman I'd never met (still haven't). Fine, whatever, good for him (though why tell me?), but he was in Brazil and it was 2 o'clock in the morning in London, plus I had an exam the next morning at 10. I was not amused.

He has been in the process of divorcing her for more than 5 years now, but she is stringing out the financial business, probably in the hope that he'll die.

Edited

OMG, this reminded me of the twat I dated in my twenties. He sent me an email literally fifteen years after we broke up WITH NO CONTACT AT ALL, to tell me he was sitting on a sand dune watching the sunset and he was getting married the next day. I was like “sorry, who is this?”

‘Accidentally’ sent me a selfie that was meant for his much younger OW who prided herself on being very alternative - him in a suit so tight every seam was screaming for its life, with a top hat and skull tipped cane, covered in eyeliner, referring to himself as master. With a text that said he had ordered a box with a handle so they could take her pet snake to the pub.

I sent back a crying laughing emoji and said RIP to the suit, it put up a good fight but was no match for his giant arse and stomach and I hoped the snake would escape and find a home with people who were not gobshites.

In her defence she was 23 and very immature. He was 43.

I still hope the snake ran away.

I agreed to swing by my new boyfriend's (of a few weeks) house to make sure someone was home for his daughter's drop off. The usual timings had changed as his ex-wife had a flight to catch, and while I didn't know his daughter well, I was happy to help. I was only expected to be there half an hour or so, and the ex-wife was clear she was only happy with the situation because it was a quick stopgap until he arrived from his work, and then I would be leaving for my evening shift anyway.

What I didn't know is that at short notice, he got invited to an overnight thing that was a bit of a once-in-a-lifetime type of event, so he decided to operate on the principle of don't ask permission, ask forgiveness - and without saying a word, he left for the event straight from work.

He knew I would be trapped for the weekend, looking after some random child who was way too young to be left on her own & and I would likely lose my job - but he did it anyway.

I still get the absolute rage thinking about that man.

Edited

I would have called him and the ex stating you'd drop her at the police station on your way to work.

Ha ha he is definitely alive unless he’s co-parenting from the other side🤣 It really was the weirdest, wankiest picture I have ever seen, it was a bit like those AI memorial angel pictures that people create, so strange. He’s “found” god since the divorce, his WhatsApp label is a bible quote, strange thing is he was a man of science when we were married and an atheist. The angels are very “aryan” Blond, white, blue eyed. The light of god was shining upon him and he had a halo 🤣 It was the sort of thing he would has taken the piss out of.. so weird! Very grandiose and self righteous.

When I broke up with him he tried to make me jealous by showing me a photo of his new girlfriend. It was a photo of Jennifer Lopez 😂.

This is brilliant! Did you play along?
