It was never 'work stress', it's emotional abuse and you're going to get divorced because of it H! (part3)

New thread!

As always I'm hopeless and can't link properly to my old thread Work stress? Err I don't think so mate'

Thank you everyone for finishing off the last thread- glad to be starting afresh actually! I did have a little chuckle about Greg the plumber (Phwoar!!) thanks H for the suggestion - us at Mumsnet ran with it and he sounds like my dream man haha!

Anyway - I'm upstairs as usual avoiding going down and seeing old King of the Castle in his throne. He came up half an hour ago in the hope of 'some action' but was told to bugger off - he's manageable at the moment because all of a sudden it's him who's 'scared to rock the boat' and keeps telling me how grateful if he is to have been allowed back - yack! (You didn't give me a lot of choice H though did you? You played every emotional card in your pack and then literally forced your way in!)

Anyway - I'm feeling strong, seeing the police tomorrow - and action plan will be in place!

Love to you all Thanks Thanks

Delurking (again) to wish you a very happy birthday! Enjoy your takeaway and film with your girls Smile Flowers

KOKO. You are absolutely awesome. Such strength. Hats off to all the posters who have been with you all the way.

thenamehaschanged · 08/10/2014 09:24

Ahhh thanks everyone Grin Thanks yes three cheers to this being my last one married to this stupendous fuckwit!!

His present to me? He hid my keys. So there I am hunting up and down like a maddun at 8.45 when we should have already left - him not answering his phone - rushed the kids out, left the door on the latch - he then phones, 'oh sorry babe I put them in the place for the keys' - what effing place? On a hook in the cupboard under the stairs. What? I wasn't aware of this special new place for the keys....arrgghh fucking arsehole!

He also left his keys in the front door all night! Now if that had been me there would have been absolute hell to pay!

Anyway - I've calmed down now so shall get on with my list making today.

theoriginalposter thank you Thanks hope you're ok and moving yourself out of there too.

Pedant - that made me laugh, thanks Thanks

Urgh, he's such a cuntbadger.

YonicScrewdriver · 08/10/2014 09:32

I notice he put YOUR keys in the surprise new place for the keys that he invented but not his keys.

Twatchips.

thenamehaschanged · 08/10/2014 09:32

Cuntbadger!!! Haha thanks yonic, totally!!! Grin

Enough about him, which takeaway are you getting?

Chinese is my fave.

thenamehaschanged · 08/10/2014 09:44

Mmmm yes love a Chinese though dd1 can be a bit funny with it - they both love a korma and rice to share though so think we'll go Indian tonight Grin

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, name. Have a good one ... just think, next year's birthday could well start with Greg the Plumber giving you a special present Grin

Clutterbugsmum · 08/10/2014 09:47

Happy birthday Name.

I'm glad to see he didn't disappoint again today, you as did we knew he would do something to try and spoil your birthday.

We having Chinese, for my birthday today.

I'm also betting he will try to ruin your evening as well. I would decide on a time and if he not home by then go a head and order your takeaway for either just you or you and your dc.

Bobtailstrikesagain · 08/10/2014 09:47

Happy Birthday Name!

Zazzles007 · 08/10/2014 09:57

His present to me? He hid my keys.

This is an another indication of his crazy-making shit, isn't it Name? I know you have recounted examples of this in some of your other posts. He moves your keys and expects you to 'mind-read' and find them in the morning without him telling you. Then he switches off his phone, knowing that you will be frantic. And he would be reveling in the chaos that he has caused you. I have no doubt that this is some sort of 'punishment', for some perceived slight that he feels you have given him. I grew up with a mother like this who would pull similar sorts of shit with me. I did the family version of divorce - I went no contact with her and my nutty father.

He also left his keys in the front door all night! Now if that had been me there would have been absolute hell to pay!

This is the double standard of the unreasonable, irrational person. A reasonable, rational person believes "What's good for the goose, is good for the gander" - thus if he can tell you off for a mistake, you should be able to do the same. But you can't, can you? And you know what? A mistake is just that, a mistake. No need to start WWIII over it, its not the bombing of a city, no one will lose their life, the sun will rise tomorrow, and the world will still turn on its axis. A more appropriate reaction would be "Did I do that? Hell, glad nothing bad came of it!" and then move on.

Just think, soon you will be rid of this TwatMonster, and life will be so, so much calmer, happier, and you will be in control of what you do or do not want in your life. Happy, Happy Birthday Name Cake Flowers Brew, have a lovely evening (even though he will be there), and keep reminding yourself, this is the last birthday you ever have to have with him again Grin.

Happy Birthday! Cake
He's making your decision very easy for you, isn't he Grin
Hmm, indian takeaway, good choice can I come?

Adarajames · 08/10/2014 10:22

Happy Birthday lovely! SmileCakeFlowers
Was gonna send you Greg the plumber, but couldn't find a sheet of wrapping paper large enough, sorry! Confused Grin

pinkandstripey · 08/10/2014 10:30

Happy birthday! Still lurking and cheering you on thanks

Guiltypleasures001 · 08/10/2014 10:40

Adara I don't think Greg and his mullet need wrapping paper I think he just needs a strategically placed bow Blush

Op please go and secretly get some extra keys cut, or you could always do the same to him. Thanks

HenriettaTurkey · 08/10/2014 11:25

He put your keys in the cool new place? Pretty classic gaslighting if you ask me. You're doing so well, Name!

thenamehaschanged · 08/10/2014 11:25

Haha thank you everybody so much!! Thanks

Happy birthday too Clutterbug!!WineCakeThanksGrin enjoy your Chinese tonight! Smile

Spot on Zazzles as always! Thank you Thanks

He just phoned there sounding like a happy, bouncy puppy - all upbeat and jokey, and he can be very funny at times. I just keep it cool and mildly sarcastic back but Christ sake!

I didn't mention it here earlier because I thought I could ignore it as all the others have slipped by completely unacknowledged in the past so I didn't think it posed too much of a problem - but it's our fucking wedding anniversary in a couple of days and he just mentioned it there on the phone. Wants to acknowledge it for a change. You know I could bloody kill that solicitor - he should be long gone by now!! Divorce papers, non mol - see you later Twatchops - negotiating two birthdays has been hard enough this week, but that as well!!

I mean, I can see the funny side, it's a 'if you don't laugh you'll cry' situation - this has just been an onslaught of 'happy celebrations' this week and I've just opened an anniversary card from his Aunt that says 'you two are made for each other'!! Confused

But honestly, solicitor no 1 is going to get it in the neck next week when she's back from her hols, especially when my new one is happy to help with a non mol. (I'm seeing her after I see the police on Monday - I wanted to hear what the police had to say first)

I will look back and laugh at this one day I'm sure!!

Thanks Thanks

Actually it's pretty hilarious, but I've decided to have a lie down for a bit as just can't cope with all this 'hilarity' Confused

Ilovefluffysheep · 08/10/2014 11:55

Oh bless you. Happy Birthday by the way, enjoy your takeaway and Frozen! What does he have in mind for celebrating the anniversary then? Bloody idiot he is.

AdoraBell · 08/10/2014 11:56

Happy birthday Name Cake Wine hope you and DCs enjoy the take away and movie. And YY to getting a set of keys cut while DCs are in school today. Keep them in your handbag and if your's get "put away" again you can carry on regardless.

Outflewtheweb · 08/10/2014 12:25

Happy, happy birthday! What a week!

Timcook · 08/10/2014 12:33
