OK, new beginnings, new thread, it WAS right to serve divorce papers!

[Wisedupwoman]

I asked the question - Am I right to serve the divorce papers on my chameleon-like but definitely cheating, lying, cruel and manipulative STBXH. You all said "YES". So I have. The story continues.........

Fairly predictable behaviour from PTM. Silly man.

Any bets he gives up work?

Truck Please! none of them give up work. Have some compassion...

They're very, very ill
They're having a breakdown
Their career has evaporated overnight
Their clients have deserted them
Their solicitor can prove that they will only earn an average of 10p a week for the next twenty years
And the matrimonial home is worth a million. Some bloke they met down the pub said so.

I would like to bet that he has no solicitor and doesn't know what he is talking about too, wisey

Now those are very funny posts!!!!!

I'm ready, Alldownhill, tanks and all guns blazing.

Whomever may decide to phone, I will not argue with. I will listen and then, if appropriate, I'll offer to send copies of the email to first OW ending the affair, and copies of rather overtly sexual texts to second OW. I'll offer to send copies of the emails he sent me admitting he'd been fucking with my head for months and then those threatening to withdraw all financial support. And then I'll ask why in heavens name if I'm such an awful person, not a single family member has been in touch with DD to ask after her welfare in all this time. Then I'll hang up and go to make a nice cup of tea. Sorted.

Anyway surely 10p won't be worth 10p by the time he finds his balls (which must be hiding somewhere up in his chest by now)? And the house will be worth much more than a million. Some bloke's cousins, brother told him that in the launderette.

Aye, right!

Could be that his balls have shrivelled up his backside as well. He'll be grateful for the torch!

Good plan for the relatives, if they ever remember that you and DD exist . Quite a compelling set of documents you have sitting there; probably never to be used, but there all the same.

You've got me thinking about the 10p thing... Can't think what I could buy for that now, but I clearly remember getting two white mice and a double lolly for that after school. (Might have been a few years ago though!)

Nome he doesn't need a sol, he once walked past a library, and now he knows everything about everything. Except me, of course.

Isn't it great that the CSA backdate payments from when the "H" left the family home?

And isn't it great that solicitors often use the CSA payment as their minimum bench mark if the spouse decides to go another route than the CSA.

And isn't it great that so many solicitors recognise that wives gave up so much earning potentional to support their "men" and raise their kids.

Isn't spousal maintenance great?

(hope you remember the Paul Whitehouse character in the Fast Show.....)

Not to mention which way is up, what way to turn and what's coming next.

Alldownhillnow, 10p is two whole shillings. I used to get three candy shrimps and six Fruit Salads for 6d a week. And I ain't old.

Morning all.

Wisey isn't Mrs PTM any longer from today.

Today I'm Ms Wisey, MGM and MGF surnames hyphenated. Legal.

New identity, new beginning, new Wisey.

Good morning Ms Wisey!

Let me beging today's posts by welcoming you by your new name.

Let today be the day that original Wisey takes a deep breath and starts out on a new, positive phase.

or begin

Hurray!

Thanks all!

Have booked camping holiday with friend in new name, for when DD goes to summer school.

That'll be an adventure and much fun for seasoned campers as Wisey doesn't know one end of the tent from the other.

How long does it take before stuff stops coming back to bite you where it hurts?

Not a good start to your Friday then? Hope you are OK.

And by the way, Glamping - maybe, but Camping - you're on your own!!

I'm fine again, it passed .

Glamping - would love to, I hope a nice thick air mattress counts. Got nice big new tent though, DS camps loads so he's got stuff to lend.

Nice pub through the woods, lots to see, open space, camp fires allowed and bring your own instruments for jamming sessions round the fire.

Love the sound of it, but will take wellies!

another indirect communication from ptm - to DS.

"Wisey hates my guts". Correct.

"I'm going to be 100% honest with her from now on". Too late.

Sugar, my thoughts exactly!

Took him a while, but he got there eventually. Amazing how he's nailed truth yet still make himself out to be the victim. An inspired piece of self pity. And as for being 100% honest with you now. Is there actually a sliding scale of honesty percentages? (Maybe keep the text in case you need it when he suddenly swears he has never lied)

I'm sure the camping will be great fun and I hope you get decent weather. A campfire jamming session sounds excellent! Percussion sounds like a suitable place to start!
