How long does what take?

Shakey1500 · 19/09/2012 22:22

Sorry, how long does what take?

Flisspaps · 19/09/2012 22:23

Twice the time from the beginning to the middle.

AnyFucker · 19/09/2012 22:25

as long as a piece of string ?

iknowwho · 19/09/2012 22:27

Twice the difference of half it's length AF

iknowwho · 19/09/2012 22:27

Sorry...... I've been dying to say that and then I jumped into soon!! Grin

I've wondered the same thing.

It turns out that you can get quicker than a kwik fit fitter.

How long does it take before you stop feeling guilty?
How long does it take before the ex realises that actually, cheating on her and then dumping her was a completely fair enough thing for you to have done and she needs to get over herself?

I think you might be waiting a while.

More time than you hope , unless if course she finds a handsome rich new man who is better than you at sex .

Then it will be pretty quick .

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 19/09/2012 22:34

Ahh, I see Hasseled.

How long will it take for OW to trust that you won't do the same to her? Never.

HTH :)

AnyFucker · 19/09/2012 22:34

about as long as your nob ?

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 19/09/2012 22:34

*Hassled, sorry!

Daisym0use · 19/09/2012 22:37

You're brave coming on mumsnet to ask the question! Think she'll mellow quicker if you try and make amends for your behaviour but I'm sure travellingwillburys idea would be far more effective. Let's hope your ex finds herself a man who doesn't philander next time. Tell your new girlfriend to watch out, clearly you've created a vacancy!

Aspiemum2 · 19/09/2012 22:37

How long does it take ex to stop hating you? I'd guess she probably always will

Not sure I understood your post properly but I'm really just marking my place as the responses are amusing me Grin

izzyizin · 19/09/2012 22:38

How long does it take before you do the dirty on your girlfriend and go off with an ow?

As soon as the novelty wears off.

Dryjuice25 · 19/09/2012 22:43

As soon as she realizes u did her a massive favour and that she has a chance to be happy with a proper man.

AnyFucker · 19/09/2012 22:43

until the next series of Jeremy Kyle ?

KeemaNaanAndCurryOn · 19/09/2012 22:44

Give it another 36 or so months and it may turn from hatred to pity.

puds11 · 19/09/2012 22:44

Well, imagine she had done the same to you, how long would that take?

AnyFucker · 19/09/2012 22:46

until you shift that motorbike out of your living room

Dryjuice25 · 19/09/2012 22:48

As soon as OW does the dirty on you too, preferably with your best mate/brother/dad etc

BoysBoysBoysAndMe · 19/09/2012 22:50

You and your gf happy then?

All's good in paradise?

Wifey at home with the kids?

Shakey1500 · 19/09/2012 22:52

As long as it takes to poach an egg? Actually i have shamelessly used the egg as an example because I have at last perfected the egg that is poached

Trick was, to add a dash of vinegar while the water was heating up, when it starts boiling, turn the heat down, then stir the water around in a circular motionreally quickly, then drop the egg in gently. The vinegar and the water swirling around helps the white bind

Dryjuice25 · 19/09/2012 22:53

As soon as she "accidentally confesses" to shugging your best mate...
