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?

Thank you,thats not the one though (I've already stitched that one-it lives in my bedroom)

It was a grey,rainy day,the little girl was more to the right and she was reaching up to the letterbox (I hated red after that!) with a load of victorian buildings behind her (I may have got a few details slightly out but it was definitely just the one girl-i remember whinging about her dress to a friend)

Im not sure if she was wearing a hat or not

(Im painting this out to be a real miserable picture!)

Im sure it was by the same lady,all our yesterday's does ring a bell (I have done a few of that range and they are lovely-i love the seaside ones)

Is not this one, is it?

No problem, I know how good it feels when you complete a kit that you really love, and to have some cock knocking scumbag ruin it just to hurt you pisses me off on your behalf 😅 obviously I tried googling but it kept coming up with Christmas ones. Was it a light or darker colours pattern?

I seem to remember a lot of mid to dark greys and a very red letterbox but that was made up of about 5 reds (just to liven things up)
I think there was a 'v' on the letterbox but a swirly 'v'
Im sure her dress had pinks in it
Thank you so much

Ex forged my signature to resign me from our business

Wow! I hope he didn’t get away with it

My ex turned up to our Dds birthday party having never been interested in designer clothing but had obviously taken fashion advice from new younger girlfriend. He was clad head to toe in that monogram LV pattern. My mum asked him why he had come dressed as a suitcase when it wasn’t fancy dress.

I’m crying laughing at this. Your mum is awesome!

GodItsHot · 07/06/2026 01:30

Wouldn’t it be amazing if, after all the hilarious, horrible and heartbreaking tales told on this thread, in the cathartic safe space that was formed…this cross stitch was found, and this thread gave one lovely @Delladuckso happy…

I feel like I’m living in a RomCom, but with friends! What’s that called? And how do I help find the cross stitch?

BoopeanLogic · 07/06/2026 01:51

@Delladuck There is this on eBay, but it’s just a chart, not a kit.

Wankiest is a great word 🤣

Agree 100%!
Some other favourites of mine come from my dear now deceased Grandpa:
”wouldn’t cross the street to meet them (insert random v well known celebrity here)”
”wouldn’t pee on them if they were on fire (insert name of someone who had wronged the family here)”
”tell them to go pee up a rope” (still no idea where this comes from but it always makes me laugh 🤭)…

Like the poster that's boyfriend accused her of chewing on the placemats, my sister's exH accused her of chewing up and ruining his iPod headphones. Of course it had to be an adult woman, not the cat, who was prone to chewing anything left around their home.

My H and I are currently separated. He loves to be an expert on everything, doesn't matter if it is something he knows nothing about. One time I told him that my dad's mop was broken and he informed me that it wasn't. Quite clairvoyant of him, given that he hadn't actually seen the mop. When I told him that I needed to get glasses as my eye sight had deteriorated he informed me that he didn't agree and he thought that my eyesight was fine. It drives me absolutely crazy.

Since separating he will come around and drop off his very sad fruit and vegetables when they are ready for the compost "so I can do something with them". I just look at him blankly and he can't understand why I don't say thank you. I have asked him not to and he still does it. I don't want to fight in front of the kids though.

He also informed me that there was nothing wrong with our sex life and doesn't understand why I had any complaints. Surely if 50% of the participants have negative feedback then that's a bad review.

Sexually abused our then 7 year old daughter.

I know so many posts have been comedic on this thread.
However, your post stopped me and n my tracks this morning.
I am so very, very sorry.
I hope you and your daughter are in a better place now.

Singlemumsurvivor · 07/06/2026 08:37

Thank you.

it took 3.5 years for the police to finish their investigation (much more complex than just abuse of 1 child) and CPS to decide to charge him. He pleaded not guilty as I knew he would. Trial is set for next year but before that my daughter has to give her evidence separately. She knows nothing of this yet, I’ve been waiting til nearer the time to break it to her. It’s been a shit almost 4 years. Don’t get me started on the lies he told during the divorce 😢

It's not the one but I may get it on payday

I could bring it out every Christmas and pop it on my wall

I've never had a seasonal cross stitch before!

WindyMillerDrinksCider · 07/06/2026 09:50

Could it have been this one?

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 😂.

@ThePlantPotter This is amazing! Please tell us more! I've been laughing for way too long about this! 😂

No but I have done that one (years later)

It hangs proudly in my friends hallway!

Thank you for the suggestion though

Not remotely saintly. He's a genuinely lovely kid - well, man now.

So when I found out I'd been dumped on I called the police. Social Services visited me (several times) and asked could he remain in situ until they spoke to the parents. I said yes because it felt right that he was with his half-brothers and, frankly, he was no trouble. To cut a long story short, they'd been dumping him with whoever would have him, there were accusations of neglect (all this came out in Child Protection meetings). They split up whilst all this was going on, she got sectioned, he refused to step up and my short-term foster became a long-term.

I think you are bloody amazing 🤩

I dated a guy years ago who professed in front of his friends (when I met them for the first time at a group dinner) that: "You know how women are... they like to shop and blow your money on things like earrings!"

He said this whilst pointing to my earrings... which I'd bought for myself (with my own earned income) long before I'd met him. I was also out-earning him throughout the (albeit short) relationship.

Needless to say, I dumped him the next day.

I guess really believed he was some millionaire and that all women were out for his 'gold'... when there wasn't gold to dig! Regardless, I had my own money - wasn't ever interested in his! 😂

Honestly throughout my 44 years on this planet I have never, ever known a woman 'gold dig'. And I have moved in all sorts of different circles for various reasons. People who have next to nothing to people in prestigious professional careers alike I have only seen (and experienced!) the opposite, men sponging off women for money as well as other material things.

Yep! I am yet to meet a gold digger. I have met plenty of men who were doing okay, I suppose, and then met a woman with a good job and her own house and car - people always say things like “He did well to meet her!”.

People always talk about “gold diggers” but pretty much never mention fortune hunters.

This reminds me of my ex. I wasn't even present while he said this, but he was retelling about a conversation he'd had with a work colleague I was due to meet, where when the colleague had asked if we were married, he said 'ooh don't mention marriage in front of her!'

I was the one who didn't want to get married. He couldn't understand why I was annoyed that he'd made out to this stranger (to me) that I was some pathetic woman just waiting and hoping for a proposal, when he was the one who wanted to get married and I didn't!

'You know men like having a joke' was his excuse.

bagpuss90 · 07/06/2026 20:31

He was drunk and he wanted the neighbours to think I’d driven him to a breakdown - so he pranced round the front garden shouting loudly whilst dressed in my frilly pink dressing gown . I was mortified at the time

MancunianFay · 07/06/2026 20:50
  1. Went out with a lad for a few weeks (about 30 years ago when I was in my early twenties). We split up and he went around telling everyone that he was terrified I was pregnant because I was a complete nutter. We’d tried to have sex a few times but he couldn’t get it up. I think he was trying to get in there first in case I told anyone.
  2. Boyfriend, his little niece (about 8 yrs old), and I were playing monopoly. The niece went to the toilet and I went to make a cup of tea. I walked back in to find him taking monopoly money out of the bank and adding it to his pile.
  3. Was round at my boyfriend’s house (in my late teens) and he was taking a shower. I suspected he was cheating so I had a snoop around his room and found a ‘love letter’ he’d handwritten to his best mate’s girlfriend declaring undying love for her, saying that she was the most beautiful woman he’d ever seen and ‘the kind of woman men would draw swords for’. It was all flowery words and really cringe. I stole it and went to his friend’s workplace and gave it to him.

They were all different boyfriends btw

I’ve know one but I think she could be classed as a “friendly psychopath”… broke up three or four marriages that I know of before working her way up to her current multimillionaire boyfriend. However it’s well know in local circles that he’s a swinger so I guess the luxury lifestyle comes at a price.
