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

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)

Hired a Ferrari to take his 16 year-old assistant to her school leavers do, then posted photos all over SM implying that she was his new gf 🤢

Ew.

My ex had the textbook midlife crisis. He went out and bought a massive motorbike and got himself an OW with a belt for a skirt.

The funniest part was that he was Welsh but was hanging about with his friend who was Scottish so he started to speak with a Scottish accent.

He would come home at weekends saying "Och aye" a lot and I would stand open mouthed.

He started to dress like a biker but more what he thought a biker looked like. In fact what he thought all the bikers in his head looked like so he was suddenly covered in tattoos and loaded down with 'biker jewelry' and patches stitched to his clothes etc. He was a cartoon biker basically and he knew bugger all about bikes so he was a total phony.

He was laughed at in the street because he looked every inch the 'plastic biker'.

I found the whole thing toe curling but I was trying to manage my Dad with dementia and keep my job at the time so I let him get on with it until I got my Dad care and I booted him, his OW and her son out of my house.

It was all a bit 'Jeremy Kyle' there for a minute and the end was messy but I'm so glad it's all over with. The person he was before and after were totally different or I would never have been with him. It was like a personality transplant.

In South America, there was a VW Gol (not Golf) that was similar to a Polo.

They probably do but in my exP's country they just have Golf's and Polo's (to my knowledge anyway) and they were definitely referred to as such.

He just though the Golf had more kudos than a Polo and assumed everyone was dumb enough to believe him - even his brother laughed like a drain and called him out for being an arse. Of course, that was then our fault for making him look silly. Nah mate, you did that all by yourself 😂

I had one like that too. He was convinced he was going to be spotted by talent scouts in the Good Mixer (which I lived near at the time) because he looked the part, although he couldn't play guitar for toffee.

He stayed at my flat for so long in pursuit of this hopeless dream that, in the end, I gave him £20 to get the train back to his hometown, and that was the last I saw of him. He left his guitar.

Haha..classic! yeah a couple of mine used to hang out at the Mixer or the Dublin Castle. I was from that area so it was all a bit cringe to me, but they seemed to think they were the living embodiment of rock n roll just by lingering about in Camden on weekends. While being from Basingstoke.

I still cringe about this. ExH who had told me that he would not pay me anything for our DD because I was spoilt and would only spend it on food for both DD and I, sent her a cheque for her 2nd birthday signed LORD SURNAME. He had bought one of those wanky Lord of The Manor titles

FFS what?

JH20000 · 04/06/2026 10:56

This is more funny than serious but someone I dated for a few months once labelled his food with his name before I went to his house and stayed for the weekend. Actually used a sharpie to write his name on food and drinks he didn’t want me touching, not that I would have rooted through his kitchen cupboards. He would do it every time I went around. In general he was nice enough but it gave me the massive ick and I had to end it.

I'm old and it was the DH of my employer but when Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited was televised in 1981, there was a trend for men to be seen out and about wearing Barbour coats and with an ancient teddy bear tucked under their arm, just as one of the protagonists in BR did.

This was the final straw for my employer. The embarrassment she felt at seeing him cross the road trying to look like a character from an aquatint from 1930's Oxford was too much and she was done.

He became such a far right abusive troll he got banned from Twitter / X, which given the general appalling sewage scum environment on Twitter is saying something

My ex must be sailing pretty close to the wind on that. He's taken to supporting all of the Robinson/Farage/Reform shit, bad-mouthing people of colour, and basically just calling people 'cu*ts'.
Surely he wasn't this bad when I was with him? Maybe I tempered his worst impulses? (I'm also mixed race...)

Hid the anal lube he kept for his secret girlfriend in our kids Harry Potter trivia game box.

I beg your finest pardon that is rank

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

Glad the plan worked though.

Her father was lying

He denied doing drugs but then sent a photo of him doing them to a WhatsApp parent group. He recently picked up my son by one leg and dropped him on the ground after a football tackle, claiming he was the big man around there. He’s 6 6ft 3, and my son is 9 years old, approx. 4 ft 11 ish . What an insecure bully! I had words. My son had a mark on his face from the floor. So many things have happened, he previously called my son a liar once when he said he was in pain. A nasty piece of work.

Omg I forgot about The Car... We had a car each and a van type one for his work.. In the divorce we got our own car each and he kept the van.... After a pretty gruelling day in court the judge asked how I intended to pay the 4k fines associated with the van. Exh was smirking as he left the court room. When I explained to the judge I had the divorce paperwork to confirm who kept which cars he was satisfied the fines weren't mine to pay..
Exh declared himself bankrupt.. And he lost our court case too!!

One morning mine sent me a text to inform me that she had an STI and that I should get checked out and have a chat with my new girlfriend. Later, the evening of that day she text me to tell me she was only joking. Luckily I was still trying to figure out how to bring the subject up with my new girlfriend and hadn't yet told her. I did however tell her about it all once ide calmed down a bit.

By the time they returned the police were waiting and Social Services had applied for a care order. Apparently there were other issues. Got him on a long-term foster.

You are amazing! 👏

I always think of the poor wives and GFs of these aggressive hate filled unkempt yobs, often middle aged or relatively elderly - some are just as bad themselves but most are not -and I’m sure many feel ‘stuck’

That's surely assault. Take it further.

Seagoats · 04/06/2026 11:44

I binned him because he lied about drinking ( ex alcoholic) after kicking him out he said there was a bag of his in the loft, which seemed odd. So of course I had a nosey. It had a his sized set of all the underwear hes ever got me, his sized suspenders and a man sized snow white type costume.
To see him you would have never in a million years guessed.
I did my best poker face handing it over. I hope he still wonders if I looked

Yes, I’m on the case. It’s been reported to my GP who advised me to contact CAB. I’m too scared to report to the police because he’s a nasty person when he gets angry and struggles to control his emotions.

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 😭.

That made me howl laughing😂I think your dad should post more often 😂

When clearing out his belongings after finding out about his long term infidelity I found a pair of tight leather trousers. He is 53 😬

Honestly, this sounds hilarious though. Lea de Laria pole dancing...

To be honest, yes it is! 😂

It just looks, wrong? 😆maybe I am being judgmental but at that age, projecting that image with that appearance, it just doesn't gel with the bopping about and provocative dancing and showing off(not that she's anything to show off about, and I DO wish she'd stop flexing. She has muscles like knots in cotton).

I am a gym rat, my biceps are bigger than my boobs but I am not a complete twat, so I don't go around flexing at people)!

She love bombed me for months, I wasn't looking for a relationship and told her this. After a few months of this, we met up as a group and we were actually attracted to one another and I felt that perhaps I was being a bit silly, maybe I was missing out on something good just because I was settled into single life.

We dated and then after just a few weeks, she began finding fault and nitpicking everything I did, turned very nasty on me over a few very small supposed misdemeanors of mine, spread some very nasty rumours about me including that I had physically hurt her, then dumped me.

I was actually quite relieved as I could see where the whole thing would've headed if she hadn't. I learned later that she already had another woman (younger, with children, Father just died=vulnerable) lined up and ex left her in pretty much the same way, then she had someone else.. I found out that she had form for this type of behaviour, going back years, just a bit too late.

I had also leant her about £1400 when her car needed work (yes I know, I am an idiot, shout it louder for the ones at the back) and she was, to her credit, paying me back in installments. When the last one came through at just after midnight, I happened to be still awake and I blocked her on everything within a few seconds of receipt of it . But now and again a friend will see her doing this whole flexing lip-synching dancing thing and will show me for a bit of a laugh. I am very glad I got out relatively unscathed, or should I say, very glad she saw that I wasn't going to worship her unconditionally and left me to pursue her 'sport' of other more susceptible women. I just really do hope she learns her lesson (that is, that she isn't god's gift and nobody is going to treat her like she is at their own expense!) and stops hurting people.
