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?

Ran around telling anyone who would listen thar I'd lied and said I was on the pill to trick him into getting pregnant, even though we planned it together. Then joined a fathers for justice fb group when "i wouldn't let him see her" even though I put in all the effort for him to see her, would text him if I was in his neck of the woods and offered to meet up after he finished work for him to see her, but he was always too drunk or had pool to play 🤷‍♀️

Told DS (who was 13 at the time) that there was no room for him at his new house (with new GF) but that if he ever needed to stay the night he was sure he could sort something.
Needless to say DS hasn't spoken to the dickhead for years.

This is very outing, so Hi Real Life Friends

Reversed his brand new shiny red penismobile into the bright yellow skip on my drive then expected me to take the blame and put in a claim on my insurance.

Was his insurance claim

“A big yellow skip reversed into me”

At his house for Sunday lunch, table laid, all was cooking nicely. He calls me into the dining room where the table cloth was looking very disheveled, cutlery moved around and little teeth marks and chewed edges on the table mats. He then asked me if I had made the mess and chewed his table mats! He refused to beleive that I hadn’t and it was probably his dog. I didn’t stay for lunch. 30 years later and I still can’t belive I was accused of chewing table mats.

Pretend he used to be in Aswad.

How on earth did he think he was entitled to that after 15 years!!! I’m not even sure he would be entitled to it if they were still married

His mother also died in that time and he never mentioned sharing his inheritance!

Wanking on video which the OW sent me.

Saladcreamormayo · 04/06/2026 02:35

Chucklecheeks01 · 03/06/2026 14:48

When he left the family home (to move straight in with OW) he took the kids X box as 'he paid for it'.

my wanky ex did similar. he took every item he'd paid for even if it was used by or for the dc. Even down to the smallest most random items that only cost £2 because he remembered it was him that picked it up and paid for it in Home bargains.
It was incredibly childish and the most wankiest thing to do.

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 😭.

Love this!

For me it’s a close tie between 2 incidents during the divorce. The first was when he tried to claim he should get a discount on the value of his car because he would use it to drive our eldest to Uni. Even the mediator raised an eyebrow at that one (and guess who has actually done the 5 hour drive 4 times now?). The second was when I was in the supermarket with dd2 and bumped into him with a woman and rather than say hello to his child he ran off down the aisle leaving me, dd2 and mystery woman bewildered in his wake.

Omg I just remembered another one. Family BBQ - everyone outside, grandparents, aunts, uncles. A wasp lands on the rim of a can of coke (que flinching from me) he says proudly to my family ‘I can sort it don’t worry they call me the wasp whisperer as home’ grabs the wasp, gets stung and proceeds to spend 30 minutes inside with his hand under the tap

He clearly didn’t whisper loud enough 😂

I hope there is a special section of hell for some/a lot of these men

Told his new girlfriend that i was fat and ugly and useless etc etc, he got said girlfriend to come to mine to drop off our daughter and i could see this woman who was very unattractive and overweight and frumpy and old so i came out into the road looking gorgeous and tanned in a little summer dress, well the look on his face he was livid, also the look on her face because shes now thinking OMG shes really attractive and if hes saying that about her and shes really attractive whats he saying about me....the look on both their faces...

I loved this. I would glow the fuck up out of pure pettiness as well 😀

Ceelee29 · 04/06/2026 06:08

after I broke up with him and blocked him from everything, he emailed me to ask if we could remain friends with benefits.

SparklyGlitterballs · 04/06/2026 06:26

Shamefully, he wasn't an ex, we were still married and together.

We had two cars. He had the bigger, more expensive one and mine was the small coupe. They were both in his name though, even though he very rarely drove the smaller one. Any time he was displeased with me eg if I refused to take his turn walking the dog so he could go golf (while I was also left alone for 6+hrs minding two very young DC and doing all the housework) he'd punish me by stopping me using the car for days afterwards. Sometimes he'd hide the keys, but I got good at finding them. One day I went to go get the family shopping in the car and found the biggest, heaviest chain around the steering wheel/pedals. I'd also get the silent treatment while this was ongoing and he thought it was perfectly reasonable.

ForWiseRoseCat · 04/06/2026 06:26

Told me once that one of our friends (not just his friend our friend) tried to set him up with a woman with the same name as me.

Like anyone would actually do that and most of our friends only tolerated him because of me. Twat.

Another thing he did was tell me that no other man could call me by my nickname because he called me it.

A nickname given to me when my younger brother was learning to talk and couldn't say my name. It had absolutely nothing to do with my ex. I'd been called it for 18 bloody years long before he was even on the scene.

There's so much other wankerisms it could be a book.

Insisted on sunbathing on a very fragile sculpture in a sculpture park in his tiny show-off knickers while me and the kids stood by awkwardly. Then got annoyed at me as unfortunately I hadn’t noticed the approach of a huge led tour group, the leader of which gave him an extreme dressing down in front of a troupe of sniggering old ladies.

Mine died a few years ago from cancer. The funeral was hard because he'd always saved the horrible behaviour and abuse for me and, in later years, for the teenage DC. To the neighbours, friends, hobby mates etc he was Mr Nice Guy and everyone was telling me what a wonderful man he was, such a family man, etc. I just thought "if only you knew the real him".

Pinkgorilla101 · 04/06/2026 06:39

I had just had an emergency c section. DS in ICU as he wasn’t breathing for 4 minutes. Ex turned up at the hospital absolutely hammered. I was in a private room. He went into the bathroom and shit and pissed everywhere. I had to drag myself in there to clean up as I was so embarrassed. Plenty more where that came from. Terrible excuse for a human being

Argued to win custody of our cat through our divorce lawyers. Added a couple of grand ££ to the bill. He won (I decided it was not worth fighting over), then the next day he gave the cat to Battersea shelter.

I never thought anyone could be such a low life but there you have it…

That’s so horrible

Turned up to represent himself in court in an ill fitting suit wearing trainers with a briefcase 🤣

Kicked off at the same Court hearing because my solicitor had asked for a closed court for the hearing due to his new partners behaviour towards me and my daughter. Ex then screamed at me “I’m going to make (insert his new partners name here) DD’s new mummy”. That did NOT go down well with the judge.

Got a tattoo with DD’s name on it for her 5th birthday then proudly showed her it at his supervised contact, he didn’t get her any presents. I could write a book 🤣

Please write the book. I’d buy it.

ForWiseRoseCat · 04/06/2026 06:59

I've thought of another. When we split up, he said he wanted to do something special with our wedding rings and my engagement ring. Make them into a memento of the marriage and get them fused together.

We separated because he was an abusive narcissist, who tried to destroy me. Why pretend otherwise.

I sold them all and used it for spending money for a holiday to Ibiza and had the best time.
