Ex DH has really upset me.....

Severino · 31/10/2016 22:32

I separated from DH at Christmas time. There was a lot of financial stuff and EA and it's been a tough year (he is nice one minute then vile the next) but definitely the right thing for us all long term.
This week he told me has met someone else. I'm fine with that, pleased actually as maybe he will stop hassling me a bit. But tonight he just sent me a text 'for my own good - for future relationships' saying I should have my Labia cut back as it's such a turn off, men hate it and he wishes he'd told me even before we got married. For some reason this has completely floored me, I feel so upset. Of course I know I'm not the most attractive down there but to me a loving relationship goes way beyond that kind of thing? Maybe it's not as nice for men as a neat one, but surely we all come in different shapes and sizes and no one is perfect and we accept and love our partners for how they are. I would never have a cosmetic operation such as that anyway but I just feel so humiliated that he has spelt it out to me. I actually am not looking for another relationship at all but I feel he has totally sullied the final aspect of the relationship we had. Everything else was crap, now it seems the sex was too.

I would say, no problem, the men in my life are happy.

My ex made personal comments about my appearance when he left (not in the same league as yours, I have never heard of anything so shockingly cruel.)

I did want to say something back about his performance in bed but do you know what? I didn't and I'm glad I didn't. Because like you and other decent people, I didn't want to hurt him.

Have you divorced yet? My divorce was complicated and all the horrible comments, threats and messages were in the court papers and did not make pleasant reading for the judge who wiped the floor with him.

Trifleorbust · 01/11/2016 06:57

And now I have read the thread - some of the suggested comments are very funny but... they bring you down to his level and make it look like talking to someone like this after a divorce is okay. Keep your powder dry and don't respond at all. If he ever does anything like this again, I like the idea of going through solicitors. "Please refrain from contacting me by text. Please refrain from phoning me. My email address is X for urgent matters."

You don't have to put up with him in your life any further than is absolutely necessary for your child.

Severino · 01/11/2016 07:00

Am loving all the comments!
Today I am just laughing. I was tired and emotional anyway last night, and couldn't understand how anyone could be so cruel for no reason. Presumably he just wants me to know his new woman is perfect and get a rise out of me. One day he may realise a perfect body does not make a perfect relationship.

I don't even think it's that - he wants to knock your confidence and have you scared to move on from him - he is too dim to realise that his shiftiness is completely transparent.

birdybirdywoofwoof · 01/11/2016 07:04

Shittiness!

He has a new partner, the only thing left to do is to try and incapacitate you with shame and embarrassment so that you will struggle to start a new relationship. That's why he's stressing all men hate it. It's sadistic. Translation - no-one will want you so don't you dare even look.

That's what it boils down to. It's utter bollocks designed to keep you under his control because this sad sack of nob cheese knows his control is slipping and you are facing a happy future without him.
I bet he doesn't actually give a furry rats crack to how your labia look. He's just digging as low as he can and pulled this Gem out of the bag.... The pathetic, shit eating, withered dick fool.

Mumofttwins · 01/11/2016 07:06

What a vile excuse for a man!

He's doing it to get the reaction it's now caused. Cruel bastard!

Mummyoflittledragon · 01/11/2016 07:06

Perfection is subjective. You body is only packaging. Being beautiful on the inside is far more important. And he's all ugliness there.

RockyBird · 01/11/2016 07:07

He's being cruel because for some reason he hasn't actually moved on.

He knows when you meet someone normal new you will then completely realise what total pondscum he really is and is trying to fuck your mind up beforehand.

Show his text to a solicitor and get a cease and desist threatening letter sent.

What he thinks is of no relevance to you.

Agree with PP about you getting a new email address specifically for your necessary communications regarding your child. The solicitor can ask him to use that and only that for communication. Anything else can be regarded as the harassment it is.

The text he sent you was disgraceful.

MermaidTears · 01/11/2016 07:09

Well...the one single reason he done this, was to make damn sure you don't go shagging anyone else just yet. He needed to kill your self esteem.
If it were me I'd be absolutely devastated as I am very sensitive about my body.
Two replies would work....
" Funny that ex do, because my new boyfriend has practically moved into my vagina, he just loves it "
Or
" I think we can agree that there is definitely a CUNT around here that needs its lips clipped "

But of course better yet, ignore him.
He will hate sitting wondering why you never replied...he may even get a case of the guilts and think he has took it too far, even for an evil specimen as himself.

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 01/11/2016 07:10

That message was so cruel it actually made me feel quite sick. What a hateful man.

Don't reply at all, anything you say will be inviting more bastard responses from him.

I actually doubt there's a new woman at all, actually. It's probably just another trick to get in your head, especially as it sounds as though he didn't get the devastated reaction he wanted from you when he told you about her.

Mumofttwins · 01/11/2016 07:11

I love these suggestions Grin

Of course you're better than that, but store them for future use.

Whocansay · 01/11/2016 07:19

I wouldn't reply. But if he's enough of a cunt to send that in the first place, he may think it's a good idea to mention it. If so, explain you didn't want to bring it up as you find his preoccupation with your vulva and his obvious porn addiction very troubling and it makes you uncomfortable, and not to mention it again.

OP, you are so well rid. What a complete cockwomble.

WappersReturns · 01/11/2016 07:21

Poor little precious obviously didn't get the reaction he wanted from you to the news of his moving on. Bet he was looking forward to seeing you sad and maybe a bit jealous when he announced his new relationship.
You went and ruined his big moment by being relieved he's not your problem any more, so he's trying to make up for it by getting the last word in.

This is the man child version of "well you're poo!"

Stinks of desperation the silly bastard.

GrinchyMcGrincherson · 01/11/2016 07:22

Shame you can't fix being a gigantic thundercunt with a quick surgical procedure.

He's just clutching at straws making up random shite to upset you because he can't cope with the fact that you aren't under his feet anymore. Abusive men can't deal when they aren't in control anymore. That's all it is.

blackistheneworange · 01/11/2016 07:23

I suspect you were supposed to go into meltdown at the thought of losing this prince to another woman. Your reaction wasn't good enough so he's had to think of a way to try and punish you. He's a dickhead.

Flanderspigeonmurderer · 01/11/2016 07:25

You could say " There is no reason for you to be thinking of or commenting on my genitalia. Only contact me if it's something relevant about our child."
Or miss out the first part altogether. He's kidding himself if he thinks his penis and scrotum are an oil painting.

elastamum · 01/11/2016 07:27

Suggest that he gets his head cut off as his attitude is so unattractive to women

AxminsterCarpet · 01/11/2016 07:28

I just love the way he thinks he knows what ALL men like Hmm

Most men wouldn't even know the correct name for labia and are just thankful to be getting up close and personal with some!

Inertia · 01/11/2016 07:30

I would avoid sending a response, especially a joking / sarcastic one, funny as they are.

If you can ignore it but save it as evidence, that might be the way forward. He will be desperate for you to respond so he can gauge how much he has hurt you. Don't give him the satisfaction. In fact, if you ignore it he might have a bit of a panic over whether he has sent it to the right person.

If he continues, then a letter from your solicitor warning about harassment and the possibility of going to the police should be effective. He is banking on you being too embarrassed to act.

Tryanythingonce16 · 01/11/2016 07:30

I would be prepared for more ways of getting at you if you meet someone else.

Bluntness100 · 01/11/2016 07:32

I agree, I think he wants to give you such a hang up you don't go near another man. Don't let him win.

As said, he found uou attractive enough to date you, to marry you, didn't have a problem with it then did he, which shows there is no problem.

BitOutOfPractice · 01/11/2016 07:34

He is trying to ensure that you don't get into a relationship with anyone else so in that way he can continue to control you. What a pathetic vile man

BitOutOfPractice · 01/11/2016 07:34

And definitely don't respond. Silence will drive him mad

Shayelle · 01/11/2016 07:40

Glad youre smiling today op Grin
