Hello ladies. A long time lurker here but I wanted to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you for getting me through probably the worst three months of my life. I've logged on in the dark hours of the night, cried at some of the threads and always always you have in the main given so much good pragmatics (and sometimes hilarious) advice.
I am not going to go into it too much but in involved my then dp, a woman he proposed to on the internet (without ever having met her), she packed up her life, flew over and moved into the lurve nest he was building for them. When he was with me, he had told her he was on a mission for MI5 (?). His friend who was staying was in witness protection so she couldn't talk to him. She found out about me when I called around unexpectedly. He told her the photos of me were of his sister.
Suffice to say. I didn't take it very well and two hours after I found out all of his stuff he had ever bought me was on his doorstep. Very satisfying apart from the diamond ring he bought me. A strategic error on my part I admit. The photo of the stuff in his front garden was sent to him. Childish but satisfying. Three months on. Two stone lost, flying at my job. Him? Well he has been arrested and charged with assault of the OW because she wouldn't leave the house. Restraining order against him so he can't go back to his house where she is still living. Tenancy in his name. He liable for the rent and he has lost his job. From going to a lovely life where he was loved by me unconditionally and my family. He has nothing.
He says he did it for a bit of excitement and the sex wasn't that good.
Karma? Yep.
I salute all of you lovely ladies. You got me through it and I will be for ever grateful.
