DP ended our relationship at the beginning of September, since then I have dsicovered through mutaual friends that he has been seeign someone else and this was happening while we were in our relationship( he didnt live with me and 6 yr old dd). He denied and I just left it, cant be bothered with the grief but he has been posting on a friends facebook page whoi also have on there so it came up on my wall and he has a picture of him and another girl dancing as his profile picture!!! I am not bothered by it as I am so better off without him but just cant believe how gullible men think us woman are!!!

going from rl experiences of people I know it is often the women that pick up the pieces......

I think you might also find Snorbs has done the picking up of pieces in his family.

I appreciate you've apologized, but please just bear in mind, as much as you're welcome to have a rant, there are decent men around and by default ( almost ) , the ones who are on here regularly are doing their bit for their children, and in some cases had to deal with the same kind of difficult behaviour you're describing.

Lets all try and get along and :)

Foxy800 · 19/10/2012 16:51

I understand what you are saying getallthethings and I know many single dads that are doing an amazing job too but i do not appreciate what snorbs was saying in the way he was saying it, as a previous poster put
IT WAS NOT WHAT WAS SAID BUT THE WAY IT WAS SAID.

I am quite happy to get along with everyone but will not put up with the nastiness of his posts. I wish him and everyone else all the best with their families.

My ex proves to me daily that he thinks I have less than one brain cell.

Wetthemogwai · 19/10/2012 21:52

I think generally (from personal experience) men tend to think they can get away with far more than they can without us noticing.

No doubt there are decent men out there and on these boards but I'm yet to meet one in real life that isn't related to me Grin

Foxy800 · 20/10/2012 08:30

THank you for the replies guys. You guys a long with most of the posts have restored my faith in this forum. Just a shame the odd one needs to be nasty.

Jesus christ a lot of people make sweeping generalisations about all sorts of things. Sorry you are getting hard time foxy

I expect those having ago at you have made them too but they are over sensitive to your comment.

Foxy800 · 20/10/2012 17:00

Thanks Happylander. IT was a simple case yesterday of needing to anonomously vent and i made the mistake of thinking it would be ok to do it on here. If I had seen this comments today it would have been water of a ducks back as the saying goes!!! It wasnt even what was said but the nastiness of what was said and the being nasty about my spelling mistakes etc but hey ho I have learnt a lesson.

Again thanks Happylander and everyoen else who was understanding.

My ex thinks I'm a bit dense. Only reason I can think of that he spouts the nonsense he does when trying to wriggle out of whatever hole he's dug himself. His latest is purchasing various (expensive) items while trying to pass them off as 'good fortune' i.e. he 'won' a 3 piece suite just when he happened to be looking for one and an iPad. Previously he's passed of TVs, cameras, phones, lap tops with the same excuse. He's just such a lucky guy. Hmm Oh this is at the same time he claims to be too skint to feed DD (so cant spend time with her if i dont feed her/supply food) or pay for her bus fare to see her. A whole £1.

I think some people just can't help but be dishonest in everything they do. My ex lies about everything.

Snorbs · 20/10/2012 17:30

you could easily have put your point to me across in a less offensive way that is all.

Maybe I could have done. As, indeed, maybe you could have done in your first message. Which is kind of the point, isn't it?

That being said and given that you have now posted fully a dozen messages complaining about how rude I was, maybe it's time to let it go?

Foxy800 · 20/10/2012 17:34

To be quite honest SNORBS that is what I am trying to do and am only posting in reply to other posts.

At the end of the day you have your opinion I have mine. So lets just say goodbye and close this thread because I have too much going on in life to argue with some one I dont even know.

OP posts:
Foxy800 · 20/10/2012 17:43

I would just like to add one last thing to this then I am closing the discussion, and that is I am not the only one commenting on your rudness. Anyway as I said goodbye and lets close this thread now.

THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAVE BEEN UNDERTANDING AND SUPPORTIVE. But from tonight I will be leaving this forum as I dont have the time or willpower to be battling with people so to everyone who has been supportive a HUGE THANKS.

OP don't let yourself be bullied away. Snorbs was well out of order - but as he's a typical bloke you won't get an apology Wink

Foxy800 · 20/10/2012 17:58

Thanks SASSYBEAST but i just feel i am better off going, I am not in the correct place at the moment to take critisism from a complete stranger. Dont get me wrong i am fine and coping with eveything but just dont have the strength to add arguing with complete strangers to my list.

Wetthemogwai · 20/10/2012 18:40

Snobs stop being a typical man twat

"this is a site where I am meant to be able to anonomously put statements that I am not going to be had a go at for."

No. This is a site where people will tell you why they think of what you have written.

Having an "us and them" attitude about men is not helpful.

If a person of a different race had treated you badly would you be making racist statements about how "they" treat "us"?

A treated you badly not because he is a man, but because he is that kind of person.
