Funniest MLC text ever!!!

24 replies

Bogeyface · 03/06/2014 01:27

Just had a text from my friend "check your emails!"

Back story is that he has been doing classic MLC stuff, losing weight, dressing 20 years younger and looking a bit of a dick doing so, mentionitis of a woman at work, guarding phone etc. Friend saw the writing on the wall as her dad did the same and it destroyed her family so was waiting it out and playing the long game. She suspected an EA with the OW but couldnt see anytime it could have got physical.

The last few days he has been a bit arsey but nothing out of the ordinary, then tonight she forwarded me an email he got into the secret email addy that he doesnt know that she knows about. Another back story, OW has been having a bad time with her OH and has been talking/flirting with my friends DH.

I cant C&P just in cast but it is basically "Thank you for letting me whitter on about my crap relationship with you. I cant talk to my own dad about it as he wouldnt understand so I really appreciate you doing this for me" :o:o:o

She checked tonight because he has been uber lovely to her, whilst also being in a bad mood. Ordered her favourite take away and suggested a weekend break while stomping around slamming doors.

She said that she has decided to leave him! :o Funny as fuck!

ouch!

Love it! But a shame about the marriage breakup - is it possible this email will make him see sense?

Bogeyface · 03/06/2014 01:46

possibly well maybe, but given that my friend has been treated terribly for the last year or so I think that ship has sailed. He is now being nice to her because his potential OW has battered his ego, but that doesnt mean that he has realised he loves her does it?

She was in two minds about ending the marriage (has been for a while) but the fact that he was being nice to her whilst also being pissed off because the OW doesnt actually want him has made her see that she is just the fall back.

From my POV, he has always treated her with contempt but she was so worried about the kids she put up with it. Now the kids are older I think she is seeing sense at last.

Yeah, it does sound like it's too late for him. It sounds like she has handled things very sensibly, and she definitely deserves the bit of entertainment that she is getting from his emails!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 03/06/2014 02:45

Nice comeuppance!! Your friend sounds like she has her head screwed on straight.

magoria · 03/06/2014 05:58

Haha. How is she keeping a straight face?

TiredFeet · 03/06/2014 06:23

Don't blame her in the slightest for enjoying that a bit

HecatePropylaea · 03/06/2014 06:32

I would enjoy that a LOT. And have much fun finding ways to drop dad comments into conversation.

Your poor friend. I hope she gets out soon.

I hope he hears that young woman's comment echoing around his pathetic little head for very many years to come.

Mehrida · 03/06/2014 06:45

Sounds like the not-so-OW got wind of his intentions and had to think of a way to make it clear she wasn't interested.

No wonder your friend's laughing.

mammadiggingdeep · 03/06/2014 07:21

Grin priceless

forumdonkey · 03/06/2014 07:31

GrinGrin perfect - it couldn't have played out better, far more effective than anything she could have said.

What is it with men and their age? I also made a comment about an exbf being old enough to be his young friends dad . It wasn't in anyway derogatory, it was a fact but he was very offended, no, really really pissed off with me. He is a very attractive man who is fast approaching his 50's but there is no way he could look like he was anywhere near his 20's (or even 30's for that matter) like the young woman. Hmm

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 03/06/2014 07:35

How very fitting. Good luck to your friend (have a feeling she's going to be just fine).

Dinnaeknowshitfromclay · 03/06/2014 08:25

Brilliant! Grin

OnIlkelyMoorBahtat · 03/06/2014 10:28

Ha! Nice one.

pictish · 03/06/2014 10:31

Ha ha sweet!

Take that Daddy-O!

scarletforya · 03/06/2014 11:52

Haaa! Satisfying!

Holdthepage · 03/06/2014 13:31

She definitely needs to keep dropping the dad word into as many conversations with him as she can. Eventually the prat will realise he has been rumbled.

BitOutOfPractice · 03/06/2014 13:52

You can get "You're like a father to me" cards for Fathers Day. If I were your friend I would get one and send it to him anonymously! Grin

ChangelingToday · 03/06/2014 14:14

Lmao at your friends dh!! Your friend sounds like she's got a good head on her shoulders. Bit out of practice's idea is so funny. It is sad about the marriage ending though but your friend sounds like she's made up her mind?

Meeeep · 03/06/2014 14:16

She is planning on telling him tonight that she is leaving but is keeping the knowledge of the emails/EA to herself at the moment. She wants to save it in case he turns into a right dick over the divorce as we both think he will. She did say that it was very very hard not to laugh out loud when she found them!

SHe will be fine. I dont think that she realises just how abusive her marriage has been though, he is very controlling with money etc which is worrying for the divorce. Thankfully she already has bank statements of savings etc so he cant spirit any away. He wont contest a divorce because he wants her I dont think, but he might because he doesnt want to give away a penny of his precious money, despite that a lot of their savings came from her inheritance. He will have a blue fit when he realises she wants to sell the house, I would love to be a fly on the wall when he gets that letter!

Sounds like she will be well rid of him Bogey

whiteblossom · 03/06/2014 17:59
