Someone tell me how irrational I am!!

Exp revealed that he had a girlfriend a few weeks ago and it seems to me, that he is turning into the perfect partner. Whilst I don't care that he has someone new, is it irrational that I feel peeved that he can help her out so much and be considerate when he was a complete git to me?

There are little things that I have heard about but they are grating on me.

Just remember, plenty of additives and sugar just before he takes the children to meet her. Then see if he can remain the perfect partner whilst trying to deal with 3 screaming banshees.

Freckle what would feeding them sugar and additives achieve? this shows how unconcerned you can be about childrens health and happiness and more concerned about getting back at Exp. This just shows where your priorities lie . ie revenge is more important than the welfare of the children.
Sorry for the rant but i cant abide people using their children as ammunition.
People should be adult enough to sort out their own differences without involving their children.
After all the children come first dont they ?

I think Freckle was joking mumalone.

mumalone · 28/03/2006 11:35

really ?

Freckle · 28/03/2006 12:31

This was carrying on from another thread, mumalone. And, yes, it was a joke. Or maybe not......

someone please help my sides have split! or have they ...

Hiya Rickman - I haven't read this whole thread yet (just linked to it from your other thread) but when I met dp 6 years ago his girlfriend at the time wrote an awful lot of horrid things about him in a diary and subsequent letters that she sent him after they split up. I hated her for it and jumped to his defence every time.

6 years down the line I am thinking exactly the same thoughts as she was back then! I think it's safe to say he'll be on best behaviour for a while then as soon as he gets comfortable he'll be as you knew him.

mumalone - I think you need to find your sense of humour! It must be there somewhere Wink

Caligula · 28/03/2006 17:59

Additives probably aren't necessary Wink. Most selfish people find normal well-behaved children a trial. A weekend on his best behaviour is really going to stretch him Rickman!

mistressmiggins · 29/03/2006 08:48

you're not being irrational at all

its annoying/hurtful that hes playing the doting caring bf when he didnt do this to you

but I agree with the others that one day she'll see the real him
whatever people say, people dont fundamentally change (am beginning to realise this)

I feel like this about my H - but then I remember back to how he was when we first got together - love sick puppy who followed me around buying expensive gifts - hes probably doing that to her and she probably thinks hes an angel to "put up with such a horrible wife"

pmsl at glass rings. Rickman, she'll see his true colours soon enough, the best revenge is living well remember.
