... In any form. I'm not asking for all his money to go off and spend as I like. But SOMETHING towards his keep would help. And how do I ask him NOW after we have lived together on and off (more off than on TBH) for nearly a year?? HELP someone. Need kick up the backside or somehting please??

Fumble, you were annoying me but now you're just making me laugh...

You totally are the ex's wife, aren't you?

And to couch it in terms you might understand...

GO AWAY YOU MENTALIST!!!!

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 03/05/2009 21:41

Fumble. Why shouldn't a cocklodger "man" pay towrads his own bills, his own food etc?

(Note, calm and rational)

fumble · 03/05/2009 21:41

Dittany you seem to Know an awful lot about nothing unless you are her friend! READ BETWEEN THE LINES! Positive yes for who? it is a discussion board to discuss so why not discuss the negatives?? why has Grumpy not responded?

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 03/05/2009 21:41

(But not so calm and rational that I can spell "towards" )

caramelwaffle · 03/05/2009 21:42

dittany -

fumble did'nt respond to my assertation that perhaps the cocklodging EX EX EX EX (dontcha love it - EX) and his estranged (?) wife may have been "playing the system".
They seem to get on REALLY well, considering.

Hmmm. Ho hum.

fruitbeard · 03/05/2009 21:42

And fumble,we only have your word for it that you're a respectable taxpayer, don't we?

How do you know you're not screwing the system yourself?

What about that offshore secret account of yours, EH???

(well, it's about as sensible as the accusations she's been throwing at Grumpy...)

slug · 03/05/2009 21:42

I'm a taxpayer, and I don't mind

hercules1 · 03/05/2009 21:42

I havent read all of fumbles' comments and only the first part of this thread but frankly I think it is irrelevant even if the op is fiddling the system. She is still entitled to be told her dp is a knob rather than have a lecture on benefits.

Fruit beard WHO IS MENATL?? people all slapping Grumpys back saying well done that she has been getting away with something and the MOANING ABOUT IT?

Or actually look at the REAL facts

If this guy has been good for her kids and he is good for her then why the issue around money?? they should have gone as a couple!

If she has issues around her XH then get it sorted (how could any relationshuip survive that??)

And no not the ex's wife not the ex not anything other than someone very annoyed by people like this!

He was NOT good to her. He was NOT good to her children. He insulted her and cowed her children. There IS no relationship - she has dumped him back on you his ex wife.

Fumble, why should he not have paid anything towards his own food and daughter?

fumble · 03/05/2009 21:48

well has GRUMPY RESPONDED TO THIS??? OH WELL DISCUSSIONS ARE INTERESTING!

fumble · 03/05/2009 21:50

And Old Lady you ALL KNOW THE TRUTH ?? that EVERYTHING written is the truth??

How do any of us know what REALLY happened or indeed if ANY of this has happened at all? i.e. posting a story perhaps??

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 03/05/2009 21:50

Why would she NOT be entitled to those benifits????

She declared him to be living there.... and was obviously still entitled......

I'll say it again unless you know something we don't!!!!!

Dittany- V pissed off, well wouldn't you be she knows his form!!!!

caramelwaffle · 03/05/2009 21:53

Oh Fumble. You silly person. You join MumsNet and then type this:

"And Old Lady you ALL KNOW THE TRUTH ?? that EVERYTHING written is the truth??

How do any of us know what REALLY happened or indeed if ANY of this has happened at all? i.e. posting a story perhaps??"

Goodness. What a giggle.

Are you real?

fumble · 03/05/2009 21:53

But she ISN'T WASN'T CLAIMING AS A COUPLE WAS SHE??

was she claiming as a couple when they got back together??

DorisIsAPinkDragon · 03/05/2009 21:54

It is an internet forum- anything can be "just a story" although that's normally known as a troll.

atm i don't believe grumpymoo to be a troll I do however believe that you are far more involved than you are admitting to

fumble · 03/05/2009 21:54

Well either way it WILL be interesting to see Grumpys reply!
