Work Stress? Err don't think so mate!

I can't copy and paste a link rather annoyingly - but this is my follow on thread from my original How far can he take the stressed from work excuse?

It burst at the seams with all the fantastic MN support I received and so I have started a new one as I carry on my journey of divorcing my very abusive husband.

Thanks

Cheers and virtual support from Wales too Wink

Another here in Wales sending you love and support for tomorrow! Flowers
As for the 2:1, my mum would've said.... 'Self praise is no praise dear' Grin

Recognised this story and realise I posted back in July on your previous thread but lost track of you and your progress since then.

What tremendous strides you have made, OP - have great respect for you and wish you the very best.

Trumpelstiltskin · 22/09/2014 12:33

I've lurked on your threads for a few weeks name.

You are an inspiration. You and your girls deserve freedom from this dickhead. Just imagine how different your life will be in 1, 5, 10 years time. Think of all the things you can achieve, the happy memories you can make with your dd's. Now what about him? I can only see him sitting in his crusty man pad, always wondering what got into you and never really understanding.

The best revenge is a life well lived, and all that.

Jux · 22/09/2014 12:48

Good luck tonight, Name. Hope he is very very late, so that you will be sleeping the sleep of the just, blissfully, in with dd1 (to make getting to bed easier for him, of course Wink).

pasanda · 22/09/2014 13:06

I check this thread every day for the latest goings on in your life but today I just have to post and say 'GOOD LUCK' for tomorrow. (I too, feel a bit nervous in case of his reaction!)

I am so pleased that he is being a wanker again, just before he gets the papers. Perfect timing!

AndTheBandPlayedOn · 22/09/2014 13:19

Remember, without him, you won't have to "pay" (endure his emotional abuse) to live your life, especially after all of his pontifications about you getting time to do your own thing.

Hang in there, rooting for you. Thanks
Team Name from across the pond.

Waving pom poms from South America, OP. I haven't posted before but have followed your threads and think you're amazing.

Best of luck tomorrow. Everyone is behind you!

oldnewmummy · 22/09/2014 15:16

Good luck tomorrow Name. Another lurker here cheering you on from Australia.

Darkesteyes · 22/09/2014 15:29

And im cheering you on and rooting for you from Essex Team Name all the way Thanks

Hi name, I've not posted for a while but I've been reading.

You are doing brilliantly still. You should be so proud of yourself for the steps that you've taken for yourself and your girls.
I'm glad he's dropped the Mr lovely husband act and is being a cunt, for your benefit. If it makes it easier for you then let him continue... just one more night of it name ONE MORE :)

Pom Poms out, swirly hand things and 'Au revoir cock head' bunting at the ready for tomorrow.
seriously, wishing you well and hope everything goes according to plan in the morning.
Much love and best wishes all the way from Poland.

Dinnae Just want to wish your Dh and you the best of luck, I hope everything goes well.

Darkesteyes · 22/09/2014 15:43

"Au revoir cock head" bunting. Now there is a great business oppertunity I reckon it would sell Grin

thenamehaschanged · 22/09/2014 16:01

Aww thank you so so much everyone Thanks Thanks

Too many names and Countries to mention haha! Grin

I am a complete bag of nerves - good, positive nerves but nerves all the same!

No phone call from H thankfully. I've just spoken to my solicitor and she has confirmed everything. I had to give her H's number because if he for some reason isn't at the office, the server may well call him to let him know they have papers for him and arrange to meet.

Because of this she said to me not to answer the phone to him until she calls me to confirm he has received them - because she doesn't want him phoning me saying 'what's this? What's happening' it may then give him a chance to evade being served.

I can then speak to him after that and tell him I think it best he stays at his brothers for a few days. If he says he's coming back to the house to get things or whatever then her advice is for me to be here with a third party.

Jeeeesssus!! Confused

Good luck name, will be thinking of you.

auntpetunia · 22/09/2014 16:38

KOKO. Dear lady you can do this name sending huge scouse hugs and cheers from Liverpool. My pom-poms are still out from the footy results at the weekend and will stay out till I get home from school and check you are ok tomorrow. Thanks

BringMeTea · 22/09/2014 16:54

Lots of luck you brave and righteous! woman. Happy times are on their way. He is soon to be your past.

Jux · 22/09/2014 17:01

Have you someone on standby tomorrow, to come over and be with you? For company (while you worry, and you almost certainly will), for moral support, distraction etc?

Whereisegg · 22/09/2014 17:27

What Jux said.
Hoping you have someone that can be with you tomorrow!

FantasticButtocks · 22/09/2014 18:44

her advice is for me to be here with a third party.

Yes, and hoping that third party is NOT one of your parents…

thenamehaschanged · 22/09/2014 19:03

God no! Anyone but them.

Looks like I'm on my own tomorrow but have support Thursday night.

So barricade and 999 on speed dial it is then!

15 hours to go. I'm in proper sitting duck mode now as don't know what time he'll be in. He hasn't called all day.

DD1 had a friend round who's just gone - the friend must have been thinking 'sheesh DD1's mum's a bit weird!' I was like, upstairs guys, no one bother me!
