Yes it ended our relationship and he's chosen not to see her ever again

TammySwansonTwo · 10/12/2017 18:30

Lone he did WHAT?!?!

For me, it was my ex ending dick pics to his ex gf. From my laptop. And not deleting them from the Pictures folder. Cretin.

rememberthetime · 10/12/2017 19:17

That his name was not his real name...

ConcreteUnderpants · 10/12/2017 19:31

That he was a registered sex offender, 'but' only had 3 years left on his license.

(Obviously he wasn't a paedophile, he was just in a dark place at that time etc etc HmmAngry)

LoneParenting101 · 10/12/2017 23:20

Tammy - Yep. I found her a few hours later. Thank the good lord above that she hadn't thrown up or slipped down. She was fine. Dehydrated but fine. He was given a Caution for Neglect

Ellisandra · 10/12/2017 23:24

My XH had a previous GF who sadly died, cancer.
When I met him, everyone told me how hard he'd taken it - she'd died on his birthday, and he was now always sad on his birthday. They didn't know him at the time, but everyone knew it was his thing.

Much later, a friend from a different social group - a close friend of 30 years, and a friendship contemporaneous with the death, told me he'd never even bothered to visit her during her dying 4 weeks in hospital. Made a lame comment about family time Hmm

Attention seeking cunt.

Insomnibrat · 10/12/2017 23:25

He 'did things' with the animals on his farm. There were rumours amongst the farm workers but I only believed them when I found the photos.

Ellisandra · 10/12/2017 23:30

You found the photos? Shock

tampinfuminragin · 10/12/2017 23:37

Did you confront him when you found the photos?

Babyblues052 · 10/12/2017 23:39

Not as serious as some of these but

My big built 6ft tatood dp is still afraid of the dark. Sorry not "afraid" just doesn't like the dark Grin

Bless himSmile

SleepIsForTheWeek · 10/12/2017 23:48

That he was married. He let that nugget slip while we were cuddled up together after the first and last time we slept together Hmm

Enni2S · 11/12/2017 08:35

I found out five years into my relationship that, after mentioning we should go on a skiing holiday once and learn to ski, my Dh has been skiing since he was five and is secretly really good at it Hmm

Did not change our relationship, but I was shocked that I didn't know about this, I thought I knew everything about him already!

TammySwansonTwo · 11/12/2017 14:19

Yes, I found the photos. He tried to pretend it wasn't his penis (despite it clearly being his penis, and our bed visible behind him). Moved out shortly afterwards.

TammySwansonTwo · 11/12/2017 14:20

Lone I am so sorry. Thank god she was okay. That's so incredibly dangerous, I'm so relieved to hear that.

Ellisandra · 11/12/2017 15:29

Tammy, why am I even more horrified that this took place in your bedroom? Shock
I just assumed sheep shagging in a barn. In your house is whole new levels of grim.
You poor thing!

TammySwansonTwo · 11/12/2017 15:51

It's fine honestly - saved me from a lot of hideousness down the line! I was more appalled that he'd used my laptop and not even bothered to delete them!

ILikeyourHairyHands · 11/12/2017 16:01

I think there's been a bit of confusion here Tammy's ex was sending dick pics, not shagging farm animals!!

ILikeyourHairyHands · 11/12/2017 16:02

Insomnibrat's ex is the zoophile!

TammySwansonTwo · 11/12/2017 16:04

Hahahahahahahahahhaa!
Ah, I just nearly peed a little.
Yes, dick pics. Not bestiality 😂

TammySwansonTwo · 11/12/2017 16:05

Now picturing barn animals running around my bedroom 😂

TammySwansonTwo · 11/12/2017 16:06

Sorry that was totally my fault - when I scanned through I didn't see insomnibrat's post, didn't realise you meant her not me. Haha!

Ellisandra · 11/12/2017 16:23

Oh my word!
I'm really glad I was wrong Grin

Shadow666 · 11/12/2017 16:27

That he was XXY. It kind of explained a lot. Nice guy though.

mustbemad17 · 11/12/2017 16:31

That he's a split personality bastard. Only explanation for me being the only ex he does not talk to despite carrying his child!!

mustbemad17 · 11/12/2017 16:32

Tammy i didn't read properly either...was wondering how the f**k your ex got a sheep into your bedroom for a bit of rumpy pumpy 😱😂
