Shit Thumb, you may well be onto something there...I hadn't thought of it like that actually...I shall keep a careful watch on DS and listen to what he says...he had bloody better not have said something like that, this is WHY co-parenting is what you be able to do...Hmm

Bogey...Caprice...the never ageing woman who had two babies within a month, a miracle indeed...mind you when you don't actually them and rely on staff you can do all the cooking and sex thing that is so vitally important to grown men who should be supporting their wives need so much attention.

KarenHL, thankyou for your lovely words, and actually, that is another possibility I hadn't thought of.

Hence, I will ensure DS sees tomorrow's visit as an adventure and see if one of the kindly PC's can give him a police car tour where he will be in absolute bliss! Smile

KOKO everybody....am off to bed for some much needed rest! Flowers

Well given that he's prone to only thinking of his own agenda and not giving a flying fuck how much he upsets his son in the process, I suspect that's along the lines of what he has said :(

I really hope that the Police are helpful and considerate to your son tomorrow. If your bail ends, and I can see why you'd hope it doesn't, is there any mileage in getting a restraining order on your exH to prevent him contacting you directly?

WellWhoKnew · 26/07/2015 02:49

Here's what annoys me. And I'm v. annoyed right now.

MrsC is witty, hilarious, zany, marvellous, a great parent, wacky, intelligent, stunning, inspiring, emotive, self-confident, articulate, and loyal.

So, pray tell, why the fuck is MrWT delaying the divorce?

ThumbWitchesAbroad · 26/07/2015 03:28

Cos he's an arrogant wanker, innit.

TheFormidableMrsC · 26/07/2015 09:48

Morning all, Thumb, this is something I will discuss with the police but it all depends on what happens today.

Ahhh thanks WWK, I am glad that you think I am all of those things! According to my husband, however, I am cold, emotionless, unable to show love worship him 24/7 and a dreadful cook. I agree with the last bit Smile. I have no idea why he is delaying things further. It's getting a bit boring now isn't it? You'd think they'd both want this done and dusted, after all, she is still living with a married man who has abandoned his family in every way possible and that can't possibly do ones' reputation much good can it? Hmm

I am off to do a good hard workout and then get ready for this afternoon's appointment. Will catch you later...have a good day everybody!

Maybe he has discovered that Pauline isn't such a good catch after all and is plotting to leave??
If the Divorce is done and dusted they will no longer be able to paint you as the villian--their nightly chats will become boring and in fact their lives will become even more boring. Pauline will realise just what a prize she has won Wink and he will be a wee fat ugly man suck with a prickly pineapple for the rest of his day (or until his next affair).

I fear it will not end well in the land of pineapples

butterflygirl15 · 26/07/2015 10:42

he is prob trying it on with a new squeeze, or several, again. He won't have been faithful to her will he?

Anniegetyourgun · 26/07/2015 11:25

Mm, driving about in her late husband's car on her petrol to visit his girlfriends. What larks.

Hope DS has a positive experience at the police station this afternoon. Hopefully it won't be too bed for you too. Just be honest and lovely, as if you could be anything else, and they will make it as easy for you as they can, I'm sure.

Kerry10281 · 26/07/2015 11:30

They won't have anything to talk about once it's all finished and finalised
He will be holding things up while he's sizing his next victim up
I can't wait to see her shit on from a great height I wish her misery for the rest of her days!! Grin Evil nasty disgusting human being she really is

Him he will be the same and good riddance to them both!!

Love ya Mrsc xx

Delurking to say good luck for today Misc.
I've followed you from the beginning and have nothing but respect for your strength and gentleness in the face of astonishing cruelty.

TheFormidableMrsC · 26/07/2015 15:02

Thank you ninetynine...your words mean a lot, I am so grateful Smile Flowers.

Afternoon all, right I am back. In order to give the interviewing officer a chance to ring the "other side", I will update this evening. Suffice to say, all is well. I, on the other hand, am about to expire as I have eaten nothing since early yesterday evening...give me food!!! Smile

pointythings · 26/07/2015 15:29

Food first, then Wine. Glad it went well and that you feel the law is acting in your best interest.

stupidgreatgrinonmyface · 26/07/2015 15:34

Have followed you from the start, but this is my first post. I just want to say how amazing I think you are. Your stbxh clearly has no idea what he's thrown away - or maybe he does, hence the no-show on Friday. Anyway, just wanted to add to the chorus of admiration before you disappear. Thanks

TopCivilServant · 26/07/2015 19:29

Glad it went well today Smile

acatcalledjohn · 26/07/2015 23:14

Fancy some pineapple, MrsC? Grin

TheFormidableMrsC · 26/07/2015 23:30

Hi all, I am sorry for posting so late. Firstly, thank you stupidgreatgrin for your lovely words, as with everybody who has supported me here, it means a lot Smile Flowers

I wanted to update as I said I would. I am hoping that the police have spoken to the other party. When I answered bail last month, I was asked to take a fixed penalty notice to "put it bed" as it were. A £90 fine that I literally wouldn't have been able to pay for the human "crime" of biting back at OW and her horribly cruel goading and reminding my husband of the effects of his behaviour on our little boy. I refused and said that I would rather be charged and take my chances with a jury given the back story. Given that in the intervening period OW had posted on my brother's FB business page while he was seriously ill recovering from life saving surgery and indeed that my husband had done his level best to goad me into contact, including pretending to "not know" whether he was to pick DS up from nursery, having done it every Wednesday for weeks (not forgetting that all contact during the bail period had been agreed with his solicitor) and letting me down with additional childcare while I attended the ASD course that he refused to do with me for the sake of our son, the interviewing officer asked me to provide evidence of this and thus, put me back on bail. So I did indeed provide all the information to her. I was also asked not to post information about that on here, which I didn't, hence why I couldn't report back. There was then the issue of the Facebook page that mysteriously disappeared but that I reported immediately given the situation I was in as I think that would have been used to implicate me in a "crime" that I didn't commit...or at least to give the impression that I had breached the terms of my bail ie : no contact. The fact that it disappeared minutes after I mentioned it on here spoke volumes.

I had to answer bail for the second time today and was told that no further action would taken. I had to sign an undertaking not to contact OW or write on her FB page again which I was happy to do (and as if I would, I shouldn't have done it, however she is an utterly malicious bitch and enjoys causing me pain and I did react when I should have exhibited more self control). Unlike my husband, I didn't do the "no comment" thing, I said that I'd done it and why, to be honest, if you're going to do things that are verging on breaking the law, you're best to own up. They both shot themselves in the foot by behaving as they have. I am given to understand that MNHQ have refused to remove my threads on OW's request. OW claims "trolling". I would be very much able to prove otherwise, as she well knows. The police are not remotely interested in my threads, indeed they would rather I vented my spleen here at you lovely lot than at OW and Mr WT. Furthermore, I am entitled to do what the hell I like under the guise of anonymity. I do hope they don't get this twitchy when I start writing in RL!! Wink.

So, that is where we are at right now. Obviously the court case is far from over, unfortunately, yet it could have been easily concluded on Friday with a divorce shortly after. I have a couple of theories of why Mr WT is doing this..but at the end of the day, it's got to be done and we absolutely NEED to be divorced. I can't wait for that day.

There are a few other things I'd like to say but it's late and I need to go to bed so I will plan to do that tomorrow. After that, I will let the threads slide but promise that I will post updates as and when although not to the detail that I have to date. I have so much to look forward to and so many plans, they don't need to know about them and I don't want them to. My life is my own. It has taken me a long time to realise that. However, I wouldn't have got through this without every single one of you, I am so lucky to have found you all Smile xxxx

And we're ... Really... I was going to say lucky to have had you, but it's not lucky. It's shitty. It's absolutely shitty what you've gone through, continue to go through, and probably will have to go through to get to the end.

But, you are inspirational. Your courage, your determination, your optimism that things will get better... These have probably helped more people than you know find their own courage, or steadfastness, or look to a potentially brighter horizon.

I'm glad things are on the up, long may they continue that way. You deserve the very best, and as I said before, I wish you nothing but good. Love, luck and strength for the future.

I know you've said a few times that posting here saved your life, but I think, you, through your postings have probably saved a few others. That's karma MrsC, and it's started turning in your favour I reckon. I only hope it delivers a thousandfold.

FeckTheMagicDragon · 26/07/2015 23:45

Thats good news MrsC, it was patently obvious that you had been goaded to a point where any normal, rational human being would respond. Getting you arrested in front of your son, and the deliberate attempts to trip you into breaking bail conditions (including posting on your thread) were just evil. I cannot fathom how they sleep at night, I really can't.

They have rather shot themselves in the foot on many, many occasions. Nasty, sneaky, selfish - yes - but not very bright are they?

I can well believe OW tried to get your threads removed. The truth hurts doesn't it? Good on MNHQ for not falling for it.

The support I see for women on this site is amazing - and helps us be strong enough to cope with all sorts of shite. Which of course is why they would be delighted if you were cut off from it.

Well done MrsC :)

FeckTheMagicDragon · 26/07/2015 23:53

Oh and a book!

You do right rather well. Fiction of course - drawing from your personal life experiences as all the best authors do.

How about a collaborative one with WWK? Now that would be fun Grin

FeckTheMagicDragon · 26/07/2015 23:54

write* (obviously - I don't)

WellWhoKnew · 26/07/2015 23:59

Pleased for you MrsC that common sense rules not just your head but your local police.

MrWT. It's really simple for you now. It really is. Go to court, whine a lot, get nowhere...but revel in the drama.

Alternatively, fuck off.

Be a man. Not a bully. Nor manipulated. And MOVE ON.

Your wife has. Long ago. She's still got a lovely little boy to bring up so think about that first.

Then yourself second. Hey?
