Divorce papers served - have I done the right thing?

[Wisedupwoman]

Had to name change again to be on safe side.
Been posting on other thread - hope followers recognise this.

H gone five weeks ago after second affair in 4 years was discovered by me but not before he gave many, many clues and slip-shod attempts to keep it 'secret' from me. H wanted out and would have known my reaction to finding out hence i think he took this way to force my hand. Heartbroken as long, long relationship with both adult and teenage DC's involved.

Today the divorce papers went to court to be served. The therapist I'm seeing commented that this has been quite quick. This has set up train of thought which goes 'was this my fault, am I assuming too much here about what H really wants, is he such a monster........'

Need ongoing support about this please......

You go WUM!!: I am so proud of you! Love your solicitor and your comment about knob with limbs attached made me spill my first (but not last) glass of Pinot Grigio of the evening!

I love Jo Brand - her best line was "If only they made a vibrator with a screwdriver attached at the other end...then we could do without the b*rstards completely".

Take care hun x

As a Biology teacher I can indeed confirm the total lack of braincells in a knob

I gave up on pencil skirts a very long time ago ( at wisey)

I would love to be a fly on the wall when WSTBXH gets served at work

Wisey - yes you gotta

sugar, we should campaign to have that as a emo-icon. It would come in handy here in relationships!!!

WUM - I applaud you! I have been reading your thread all of the time, but now I know you are a fan of Roxy Music, I just had to post :)

I worked in advertising, when I was young, free and single - before I had the kids and trained as a nurse. Anyway the Creative Director was the dead spit of Brian Ferry in his heyday - linen suits, floppy hair...as cool as cool could be. Those were the days.

What is this mediation stuff? Do you have to do this - it's not like counselling is it? Do you both have to attend together? The thought of sitting in the same room as my ex brings me out in hives...(poors another glass of wine). X

Like sound of the outfit.

Thought papers had been served already?

Oh my god, have only just stopped choking with laughter at *Sugars link.

I can't decide whether the orange one or the grafitti one on the toilet wall best suits!

Can't post on booze thread , as drinking tea but Sains are open for a good while yet. Hedgehogs are great, and I still love those salt and vinegar potato twists that burn through the roof of your mouth - lovely. Very funny thread though just what you need at the end of the week.

I knew there'd be someone here who could address the question of brain cells in knobs - I mean you can't get any more definitive than:

"As a Biology teacher I can indeed confirm the total lack of braincells in a knob" can you?

Thank you Migrating, much appreciated. I bow to your wisdom in these matters of human evolution.

Bryan Ferry......

Papers have been served but he's ignored them. Got to do it again but in person (not me, the server, ex detective wearing raincoat with collar turned up and holding picture of aforementioned knob).

Also have to practice walk in stilleto's as have not worn such things for many a year. Do NOT want to fall arse over tit and let the side down!

its a personal theory but I think that the male penis requires so much blood flowing to it that it starves the brain of blood and prevents any kind of reasoned thought....

Really? That much blood?

God I have really, really been missing out somewhere all these years.

oh yes! baby

Ann Summers, here I come (pun absolutely intended).

Well alright, someonehad to go there it's friday night and workers playtime!

Well in my case Coconuts - it was starved for years (does that thing when you crook your little finger - you know what I mean girsl!)

WUM: He ignored the papers - so now a private eye has to serve them? How sad is that. " What a piece of work is a man" (Hamlet ladies - thought I'd throw in a bit of culture - and my second degree (which Ex said I'd never get!) is in Lit. Just have a fantastic image of this shady P.I. holding up a picture of knob, and saying "Would you like a magnifying glass sir" (in best Columbo accent).

And as for mediation - no way, I ain't ever sharing the same air as my Ex again. Yes, they can offer it - but what's the point...a knob is a knob is a knob...

awesome achievement Saffy! (and a poke in the eye with a big stick for little knobby ex)

You too, Saffy? I've been robbed. He told me they are all like that, what a bastard!

So we've got biology, we've got Literature, we've got art, we are almost a fecking university girls!

all smart and drop dead gorgeous!!

Yes! We are all gorgeous and smart!

WUM: I've quoted Jo Brand and that Shakespeare bloke...so now I shall sum it up with me and Ex in the wise words of Victoria Wood: "Ladies, it was like throwing a banana down Oxford Street".

LOL again (DS enters the room and asks if i'm alright).

Never a truer word........

DS comes back in and asks if i've been drinking

Chipping are you making a hedgehog? give us some please.

This thread is turning quite rude, v friday night appropriate!

I would like the job of the papers-server please, would do it for nothing and can justabout squeeze into pencil skirt and stillettoes (for stamping), would do the job much better than nondescript grey-suited man. Could also slap him with a stinky wet fish.

I would not, however, like a picture of the knob's knob.

Look, if you don't want to be responsible for a very nasty accident involving a cheese sandwich (in lieu of Chipping's hedghod thingy) you will stop this nonsense right now!

No picture needed. Just imagine a gherkin. (sorry gherkin lovers out there)
