PLEASE EXCUSE THE FAIL LINK

Due to fly home Sunday.

They're talking about closing access by air, sea and road.

It says on the photo as of midnight last night no one can leave??

I can't find a conclusive report. An official one I mean rather than tabloid reports

Op does he access to money that you need for rent etc... if so I would move what you need to cover for your family. He can be the one to look for an emergency loan not you.

Bulbosaur · 14/03/2020 11:54

I've got control of the savings. It's only a small amount but I've taken it incase we get locked down etc...

He can borrow from his mate Sif he needs to

My priorities are my kids now and what's happening here.

His shananigans are non of my concern.

I know it’s a bit weird to be proud of a stranger but I am.

theflushedzebra · 14/03/2020 12:02

God no, don't let him back in the house (if he does manage to get back!) because he could have the virus.

What an idiot. Sorry OP Thanks

Bulbosaur · 14/03/2020 12:20

Lou that made me teary.

Thankyou.

I have to bottle this feeling. Remember it. And never let anyone make me and my kids feel this worthless again.

Bulbosaur · 14/03/2020 12:20

He won't be coming here or seeing the kids for at least 2 weeks.

I agree with @LouHotel. I’m proud of u. Letting someone go is hard. But. I think u have made the correct decision. Hugs

Drogonssmile · 14/03/2020 12:26

Well done OP you're a strong lady Thanks

bumblebeefairy · 14/03/2020 12:32

Good for you OP. I was thinking as I scrolled down that I would end the relationship if that happened. How selfish of your DP, that is just horrible.

averythinline · 14/03/2020 12:33

If you're going to finish with him then you can update any UC/benefits stuff and also start applying for your single person discount for council tax...online (the council tax one takes 10 days to process where I am) now..

Jenasaurus · 14/03/2020 12:35

Well done Bulbosaur, you are doing the right thing ending things with him. You a kind person because even though you warned him, he still went and youre concerned for him still. I would shut down communication with him now, you have done all you can, told him not to go, and told him to come back today and not wait, he has chosen to ignore you so now, I would do the same and ignore him.

Im also proud of you :)

OnTheEdgeOfTheNight · 14/03/2020 12:39

Oh you're the poster with a child who has health problems, I really hoped it wasn't you. Didn't he block you from WhatsApp etc when he left the UK for his holiday?

Sparklfairy · 14/03/2020 12:40

It's almost like he delights in your stress and panic. The power, the attention, the drama. Wash your hands of the situation OP and don't allow yourself to feel anything but smug about the headache he'll have getting home and worse once he does get back.

And I'm petty, but I'd send a smiley face and then block him on everything like he did you.

Davincitoad · 14/03/2020 12:44

Repatriation flights? But may take time

Eyre89 · 14/03/2020 12:48

Sorry was only going off what my mum had said to me she wasn't very clear. This is the latest her partner has been told. He was meant to fly out at 11ish.

GordonBennett20 · 14/03/2020 12:50

So glad you've decided to prioritise you and your kids and kick him to the curb (kerb?)!

Cant believe he flew out in the first place and to not have any travel insurance! Idiot

CrimsonCattery · 14/03/2020 12:51

What an absolute arse. If he ends up sleeping on the streets it will be his own stupid fault.

StSaulOfSnacks · 14/03/2020 12:59

Well done OP. I thought if you when I heard the Jet2 news and wondered if the twat was still there. Are they his DC?

Mummyoflittledragon · 14/03/2020 13:00

I was on your other thread. Another one saying you should be proud of yourself. Well done for getting the money. Look after your kids. We have enough of a shit storm ahead without some loose cannon holding you down.

lowlandLucky · 14/03/2020 13:01

Well done OP You will never regret this decision, pack his stuff and take it to his Mothers today so he has no reason to come near your door. I too am really proud of youFlowers

mamansnet · 14/03/2020 13:08

Apparently Spain is preparing to close its airspace. Their PM is due to make a statement any minute now.

Well done OP, your now ex is an utter prick.m and has got a tough road ahead getting home!

bemoreeverything · 14/03/2020 13:10

TUI have just cancelled flights to Spain.

Jet2 have rescue flights enroute now

Buggedandconfused · 14/03/2020 13:17

Good grief the man is an utter plank. Hope you are ok OP 💐

Can someone link to the original thread?
