Ex-Husband Bullshit Bingo (light hearted- ish)

[RedBushedT]

So, my Ex-H and I had another text based row recently and the same stock phrases came up again.

In order to keep my cool in future, I'm going to create a set of "bullshit bingo" cards to have to hand for next time he kicks off.

Phrases I'll be looking out for include:

• I warn you!
• This is all your doing
• Cold hearted bitch
• I'll fight you over xyz
• My babies
• Everything your way
• You must do xyz

What would be on your bullshit bingo cards?

May I add. I m the one suffering here,I only get to see my kids for less than forty eight hour a fortnight!
Yep you twat that's because you moved two and a half hours away.
What do you mean you haven't had any maintence for six months I told the CSA to tell you what was going on!
Really in six months you could nt just tell me you were nt paying because you were spending your money on something else.
Why don t the kids have xxxx Well that might because you don t pay any fucking maintence and funnily enough raising 3 kids on one wage is not easy.

excellent thread. dh's lines are

-'ive only just woke up! my body slept in! its not my fault' when meant to be picking dd up so i can get to work.
-'but ive been so tired!' an all time excuse! try being a single parent!
-'i love dd so so much, shes amazing' yeah so amazing you've never had her overnight and never an extra day over the summer

Okay so it's going to be something like bingo, and lots of drinking in it...

Double shots for certain phrases...

Cheers!

• It's not my fault (it usually is)
• I have a life too you know (and I don't?)
• I love my children (then why don't you do anything for them?)

I'd like to add a few more common ones

*How could you do this to me? (you did it to yourself you idiot)
*You've turned everyone against me? (I must be some smooth talker! Pretty sure he did this on his own)
*I hate fighting (stop being a prick and starting rows over nothing then!)

This would make an amazing drinking game. but I agree with a previous poster, I'd spend a lot of time shitfaced!

That one - 'I have to work' - that one alone, when he knows I also have to work whilst additionally bringing up the two children he dumped and barely makes time to see, so he could be with OW, makes me want to rub slug slime into his smug face.

'I'm not paying child maintenance this month as I have bills to pay"

And the Christmas special; 'I'm not paying child maintenance this month as I don't think it's in the best interests of the kids to have one parent who can't afford to buy them presents'

Thank you for this thread. Mine is:

'I have nothing to apologise for.' (he left and has a hell of a lot to apologise for)

'I love my daughter and I worry about her every day.' (He never phones and she has been in hospital and also to a shrink).

'We need to move on and be happy.' (Easy to move on when you leave all the crap behind for someone else).

'I didn't leave because of your illness.' (I have cancer and the fact that this was the very first thing he said, made it obvious that it WAS).

Sigh.

Hugs to all in this situation too. You are all fabulous women.

I can't have DS today as it is (delete as applicable) cold/sunny/dark/snowing/windy/looks like it might rain later/I think I might be coming down with a cold

Given he has such onerous contact of 4 hours a month

Yes Punk; well said. Hugs to us all .

I'll add :

I deserve to be happy

I love you like a sister

You're pathetic (when refusing to loan him money on the grounds that he has never repaid a loan)

Copied and pasted from a message he sent me only last week: "Sorry if you were upset about it, but that wasn't my intention and hopefully you could see that I simply wanted to move on..."

Gosh, "moving on" seems to be a theme for lots of them doesn't it?!

"You're SO belligerent and aggressive sparkly". Nope assertive and just refuse to put up with your shit for a moment longer.

"If you try to keep me from my kids............threatening silence " - well how about you see your kids on a regular basis rather than just dropping as and when you feel like it and taking the hump because actually it's not convenient as we are on a day out somewhere.

"I don't owe you anything" - yes you do, child support paid regularly and on time and to behave like a reasonable human being when we do have to interact.

"You're just jealous" whenever I remonstrate over the fact he hadn't seen or parented his dc for weeks at a time. I would HATE his life. I couldn't bear not to live with my dc.

"We were never happy" - bullshit and that's why you had to be bodily removed by the police as you refused to leave even though the marriage had been broken down for months!

I have a friend who could play bullshit bingo with the best of you - and her best bit of advice to people in her situation is to have a second, cheap phone, that is just for communicating with the ex - then you can switch it off and ignore him! I think hers is called the Crap-phone, if I recall correctly.

I have just this week bought and set up a second phone for this purpose. Mine is called the "twatphone"

"I DESERVE a life" as he waved goodbye to any contact with his 4 DCs over 3 yrs ago. I, of course, deserve no life...
