STBXH wants me back yet..

NickysMam · 05/12/2013 10:58

I responded to a thread a long time ago about how horrible and unhappy I was living with my in laws and how I was mistreated and made to feel like a slave and how STBXH supported the abuse I endured, so I left back in October.

I haven't spoken to him since he called me to tell me that no one would be interested in me with two children. So last night he called me on a new number begging me back.

But then he decided to give me conditions should I wish to return.. no really, he did.

I thought I'd share them so we can all have a good laugh at how much of a d*head he really is!!

  1. He told me that anything "disrespectful" that I do towards him (Not doing as he asks without questioning. Disagreeing with him. Rudeness while performing my role as a good wife), he will give it back to me "ten fold".

  2. He also said that he will not let me make any decisions as "all the decisions you've made has put us in problems and I'm not taking it anymore" one decision he mentioned was accepting my parents help and "undermining his authority as my husband" even though it benefited him more than me.

  3. His family take precedence over mine and if his aunty tells me to do something, whether I am tired or not, I should do it.

  4. I should call his family members at least twice a week (he hasn't spoken to my parents since June)

  5. I don't get a say in DC2's name as he hates the name we chose for DS as he felt "bullied into it" Despite the fact that he chose it months before we even conceived him.

  6. He will cut down the household allowance since he is being "bullied" into getting our own place (he lives with his uncle and aunty and DC2 is due in March so he expected the four of us to live there forever it seems) and so any "luxuries can be forgotten"

  7. "I expect you to do all the housework and the childcare. I'm the provider so I'm exempt"

  8. "When you go back to work, I expect you to pay half the household bills and take care of the children's needs with your pay"

  9. I'm expected to send a Christmas card to his family. Again, no mention of mine.

  10. "Call my aunty tomorrow and show some respect. You haven't called them since you left, you're so ungrateful."

I responded with "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to get back with you, the prospect sounds really exciting! I will get back to you as soon as a decision is made"

Blocked.

Feel disgusted in myself for getting with him in the first place. Oh well, at least I have my children out of this.

Wow, what a catch he was! He must be delusional, having been fed a lifetime of bollocks from his equally delusional family members.

You are in the best place possible...far, far away from him and his family.

Love your response.

XanetiaOfTheDelphae · 05/12/2013 13:59

Ha ha ha, what a twat (your ex, OP - class response BTW). I do sometimes wonder whether these people actually hear themselves when they come out with BS like this!

Well done on escaping OP and long may your newfound life without him continue. Xmas Smile

Ehhn · 05/12/2013 13:59

I know there's often a line about coming from the 1950s... But (and I speak as a historian) that's taking it back to the bloody 1850s! Nice 21st century comeback from op though ;-)

Walkacrossthesand · 05/12/2013 14:02

Will he 'get' the sarcasm d'you think? Just wondering.,

ScrambledSmegs · 05/12/2013 14:06

Does he really expect you to jump at the chance? He must be delusional.

I think the very best part of your response is that he will definitely take you seriously Grin. How long do you think he'll wait for his answer?

Hissy · 05/12/2013 14:07

What a monumental prick!

Fluffycloudland77 · 05/12/2013 14:13

Do you have his number? I mean if you don't want him for yourself.......

Grin
YetAnotherFucker · 05/12/2013 14:17

How could you possibly resist such humility, generosity and empathy Grin

NickysMam · 05/12/2013 14:20

Just returned from my MW appointment and all your replies are hilarious.

I hope he doesn't think I'll actually he back to him with a decision.

Onwards and upwards indeed!!

Scrambledsmegs I wouldn't know as I blocked his number. I doubt he's daft enough to expect a call back either because the sarcasm in my voice was really obvious

He sounds like the character, Churchills ancestor from the book/film The Duchess.

I wonder how he would respond to the same demands made of him. I like your reply, well done for leaving.

LoveAndDeath · 05/12/2013 14:28

He sounds.........lovely Hmm Seriously OP, you lost a good 'un there!

sparklysilversequins · 05/12/2013 14:29

I had a similar offer from my ex-:

I know I cheated on you with prostitutes and had numerous ONS when we were together but you need to get over that and start trusting and respecting me. STOP living in the past!

You'll need to carry on claiming benefits as a lone parent for a while once we get back together because I won't be able to support us all straight away (ie commit benefit fraud).

I want to be treated like the man of the house, you know have my own special chair that no one else uses and I want meat every day and NOT out of the freezer. I hate freezer food!

No more nagging about my drinking alcoholism. A man is entitled to have a beer ten cans every night in his own home without being nagged about it.

So not as extensive as yours OP but still pretty special don't you think? Smile

skyeskyeskye · 05/12/2013 14:30

Nickysmam don't be too hasty to bin him, he sounds like a right catch Grin.

seriously..... what a knob head. I bet he wonders why you are not rushing back to him too!

All the best for your new life where you can control the money and where you live and who you speak to...

and PLEASE! print this thread out and keep it safe and if you ever have a low moment, after the baby is born, where you think it might be easier to take him back, read this thread!

TeenyW123 · 05/12/2013 14:34

Nickysmam, please will you add to the thread if he gets back in touch and says "well?"

Hahahahaaahahaahaahaaaaa!! Hee hee! Mwahaha! LOLLLLL!!

HAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAAAAA!!

Grin Grin Grin

Seriously...you must be faint with longing after that offer! You lucky thing!

sittingbythefairylights · 05/12/2013 14:37

Ah, bless him. He's probably been working on his list for weeks - just imagine all of the conditions he's crossed out!

pictish · 05/12/2013 14:38

When I first joined MN I thought STBXH/P stood for Stupid Twat Bastard Ex Husband/Partner. I now see I was right!

AlistairSim · 05/12/2013 14:42

Your response was fucking perfect, Mam!
Absolute class.

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 05/12/2013 14:48

Checking the date to see if it's April 1st.

No, he was serious wasn't he?!

FunnyFestiveTableRunner · 05/12/2013 14:52

I have never wanted to hug and high five a poster as much.

Gosh Nicky to think that you left this prince charming behind you. Well done!

TalkativeJim · 05/12/2013 14:53

Hmm OP, a really difficult one. I doubt you're going to get much sleep tonight Grin

DownstairsMixUp · 05/12/2013 14:54

Right, I've just dumped my DP for this catch. Can you please PM me his phone number? Ta! Grin

sebsmummy1 · 05/12/2013 15:11
