Thank you for trying to save me costs of divorce by selecting a solicitor for me and by covering their costs, you are doing me a favour, I know.

Thank you for being fair by offering to take only 40% of the assets in my name to enable a quick resolution to the end of the marriage, which is what you want.

Of course, I realise that the assets in your name aren't mine because you are the man. Sorry you are THE MAN. I do keep getting things wrong, so I perfectly understand that you want a divorce.

All the same, thank you for offering me a speedy divorce by asking me to agree that we have been separated for two years so that I can move on with my life. Okay, we both know it's less than two weeks in actualment since you walked. I remain in shock but I'm so grateful that you have my best interests at heart during this difficult time.

So, Soon To Be Ex-Husband, thank you.

Because you are a twat and I'm so much better off without you.

I have lurked on this thread for ages and felt guilty that your writing is so good that it really has been gripping. Your VSTBXH is completely unbelievable.

Just wanted to say you are amazing, very best of luck today.

ShouldHaveMarriedTimDowling · 03/10/2014 14:31

Thinking of you.

WellWhoKnew · 03/10/2014 14:38

Dear NSTBXH

Dear NSTBXH

it's interesting how invested i am in hearing how it went. genuinely thinking of you.

yougotafriend · 03/10/2014 15:23

I started reading this thread in teh early hours (couldn't sleep) can't believe I haven't jumped on board before now. I got from the start until July before I thought I needed to try and sleep before work today but I just amazed at the twattery of so many men.

WWK you are such a good wrtier I had to keep reminding myself that this was your RL and not a Marian Keyes novel. I will pick up where I left off tomight and look forward to watching you grow stronger and the months roll forward and I catch up and start to follw in real time.

I know you posted on another thread about being back in court today, hope it all went well (but determined not to jump ahead until the end). Flowers

WhereIsMYJonathanSmith · 03/10/2014 15:27

Oh No! Sounds like it didn't go well!

AcrossthePond55 · 03/10/2014 16:03

Oh dear. I hope that yesterday wasn't too bad! Just try to remember that nothing lasts forever and you WILL be rid of him eventually!

You need to realise we will never be friendly and I have no intention of going to any parents evening or other function jointly with you. You always talked over me and embarrassed me with your stupid comments and desperation to talk about yourself at these things anyway, so I'm pleased not to have to put up with you anymore. Go and make a twat of yourself on your own if you want, or I will email feedback to you.

WellWhoKnew · 04/10/2014 00:16

Got a bit confused there, Should trying to work out why we were going to parents evening....

But yes, I agree, leave him to it! Have a riot yourself.

have I missed something? Parents Evening? Smile

captainmummy · 04/10/2014 07:43

Think (hope) that pp was writing her own dear stbx letter, rather than having a go at wwk!
Either that or it's the wrong thread!

ShouldISellTheHouse · 04/10/2014 10:38

Hahaha! Missed point of thread, saw title, thought that's where to post the angry text I've just composed instead of sending it to him.
Sorry. As you were ...

WellWhoKnew · 04/10/2014 10:59

Don't apologise - it made me laugh as on second reading, I realised we didn't have children together! But for half a second I doubted my sanity.

A legacy of having lived with a twat for too long.

Should you have my wholehearted sympathy here. My ex has always embarrassed me no end at joint functions. Even when he was not quite my ex yet, I went to great lengths to stop him from going to functions with the kids. Last year we quickly ran out of the house, jumped into the car and left him behind. His car had a flat battery and he could not come after us. He was sat there all morning, dressed up, in the study, by the door, ready to go, determined to come with us. I wholeheartedly sympathise. I could write a book about embarrassing outings with my ex. Angry

What a fantastic writer, after having gone through some awful shit with my STBXH, I came to MN looking for some help in getting over his betrayal. We have been married for 24 years, together for 28, and this march he started going cycling a lot saying he was fifty soon and wanted to lose weight and be fitter. I said ok that's great, but I had no interest in joining him. We live in a small village and there was a group there including some friends of ours so he went along with them. There were a few single women involved but he has never given me any cause for concern on that front and I knew them anyway so didn't think I needed to worry, after all it was just exercise and what's wrong with being healthier right? It was fine at first , but then it got so he was out for hours and sometimes all day! Now I know you ladies out there will be saying Hold on ! Why didn't you ask him what he was up to? Well, I did and said please cut back on the time spent out cycling but he said it was his new passion and I couldn't stop him! Can you guess where I'm going here?

AltheaVestrit · 08/11/2014 16:25

Hi Hobbitwife

It might be a good idea to start your own thread as this one is very nearly full and you'll get better advice specific to your circumstances.

And yes, I think I know where you're going.............

AltheaVestrit · 17/11/2014 20:13

Bumping this thread as I've advised another poster to read it.
