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

lighthearted thread -

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)

Added a photo of a pig to my contact details so when I rang him, a picture of a pig came up, not only on his phone, but also on the screen in the car. So if I rang him while the children were with him, they would see the pig picture attached to my name 😔

That is really mean. He is an absolute dick. I hope you are far, far away from him. I know you have DC so maybe you still have to talk to him but from a stranger on the internet, I confirm he is an absolute dick.

Sit there watching me cry with no emotion, no sorry, no you will be ok, after all the pain hes caused me whilst he walked yesterday after cheating and causing me months of hurt.

Never had an issue with my exes.

@PenelopePinkerton Think you’re on the wrong thread 😂

For my kids 18th put together a photo album of them which only had one photo in it of me with them when they were tiny so it looked like I’d died and he’d brought them up. The last page had a pic of him n his second wife beaming out at their wedding. We did joke about it.

This wasn’t near Glasgow was it?

No it wasn’t… don’t tell me there’s more of him🤦🏻‍♀️

dointhebestwecan · 04/06/2026 07:42

Told everyone I was lying in bed depressed and he was primary carer when I was running 25k a week at the time we were getting divorced.

Geminispark · 04/06/2026 07:42

calculated divorce settlement he wanted down to the last 19p which his barrister read out in court - we all cracked up

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.

@SparklyGlitterballs this is horrendous. I’m SO glad he’s your ex! What a vile creature

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 😂.

Were you fooled by the rocks that she got?

PetulaGordeno · 04/06/2026 07:59

I am a bit of a Princess Diana fan - or was.
Was asking an ex where he was when she died, it was such a cultural marker and he told me.
Then he said him and his mate went to Kensington Palace a few days later to see the tributes.
And then added, yeah, we thought there would be lots of tearful girls wanting a shoulder to cry on and they’d get a shag out of it.
They did, two nights on the trot.
What a pair of princes…..

This is classic narc. It’s so classic you’ve almost got to admire the sheer ridiculousness of it. What a loser.

At least it wasn't him and Jennifer Aniston/Jennifer Lopez or some other celebrity in the wedding pic. Like the pp being sent a pic of ex's new gf Jennifer Lopez

🤣🤣 I love this! Top work Dad.

When I split with my ex my parents bought me one of those 50’s style signs that said “It’s better to have loved and lost than to live with the psycho for the rest of your life.”

When ex had to collect keys for the storage unit I’d put his stuff in my dad stuck it to the wall opposite the front door so ex couldn’t miss seeing it when my dad opened the door 😂

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 😭.

oh lordy lord, do we ever need the laughing emoji 😂😂

What are the wankiest things your ex has ever done?

My ex used to post those fake deep quotes over photos of himself like he'd just returned from a spiritual quest. Mate, you work in accounts and spent lunch arguing about meal deals.

Fuck me! I think I know him.
Did he become a drama studies professor at Glasgow University? Or are there two cockwombles out there?

He didn't, but hilarious there are two such egregiously pretentious men out there.

Unfortunately yes, the one in Glasgow did exactly the same thing. Horrible specimens.

Kingsleadhat · 04/06/2026 08:50

When I moved I'd packed my things in cases and boxes, did the first run and went back for the remaining box the next day. It should have had crockery, pans etc in it. He'd removed those and filled the box with old jam jars

This one is a friend's ex. Total narc, shagged another woman because he felt he wasn't getting enough attention. When his wife decided to forgive him he said no thanks I'd rather get divorced as it had given him a taste of living like a single man. 3 kids who he then barely saw because he was off clubbing, travelling and dating. Hid money during the divorce and crowed about it to mutual friends. This was all ok though as he "deserved to be happy".

He then wrote a book on "mindfulness". I read some extracts (for free on the internet, had no intention of buying it). It was the biggest load of self indulgent wank I've ever read. He also claimed his ex wife was the narcissist and emotionally abusive - she's one of my best friends and nothing is further from the truth. Strangely the book totally omitted his own behaviour detailed in first para above.

Standard. ^^ Hope your friend is ok.

My ex Husband is such a twunt the list of wankiest things he has done could fill this thread but one that springs to mind is when he asked if the OW and her child could come and spend a few days over Christmas at our house with us both our children.

Sorry, I’m lol

It's not really lol material. Unless you are the "lady" he left me for.
