Third (and final) thread - C nonsense

999 replies

JaysusWept · 21/09/2019 21:59

Unbelievable that this is the 3rd thread and still nothing has been resolved.
I wasn’t going to start this one but if anything good comes out of this shite it will be a Glasgow/Scotland MN meet up!

I know folk laugh at all the ‘DAILY MAIL MAY NOT USE THIS’ stuff, but here’s me giving the scummy DM permission to use this 👋

Really hope pick up went ok.

C is just awful and I’m furious for you and this shit situation she’s put you in and her coven! How can they all be taken in by the lies.

You have handled this so much better than I would have done. By now I would have sent the whole sorry group my version of events. I can’t abide liars and I will always try to ‘out’ them.

Bide your time, C will get her comeuppance Flowers

category12 · 25/09/2019 18:49

I doubt very much the husband will be furious or whatnot - C will spin it and minimise and he'll shrug it off for a quiet life.

It's only important to the main players here, anyone else is just going to roll their eyes or maybe go "oooh what's the goss", for about five minutes.

Disengage.

MarshaBradyo · 25/09/2019 19:06

It’ll be such a non event though, like last time

What’s this about messages op / ex said something to me at pick up

Oh nothing just crossed wires - extra lie if necessary

Oh ok

stanski · 25/09/2019 20:09

Your ex might have been a dick in the past but GOOD ON HIM for trying to help the mother of his child. Funny how things work out but it's good to know he's got your back!

I don't believe Cs husband was ever kicked out at all. She's just spinning all the shit to keep the attention. She's clearly unwell.

JaysusWept · 25/09/2019 20:20

I tried to reply here earlier but it doesn’t seem to have posted.

Still none the wiser and no idea what C’s husband may or may not know.
C and K were at the school. I thought they were approaching me but they stopped about 12ft away from me - could hear them laughing (and they say I have an annoying laugh!)
You know that way when you can feel someone staring at you? Well, that. But I didn’t look over.

On the very plus side, DD had no issues at school.

OhBigHairyBollocks · 25/09/2019 20:24

Glad to hear that DD is not being affected. Keep your chin up OP

bakesalesally · 25/09/2019 20:25

@JaysusWept good for you!!!---- Don't lower yourself to their level.

DuckbilledSplatterPuff · 25/09/2019 20:27

C and K are horrible to be edging nearer so that you could hear them laughing.
They are dying to provoke you and this is the best they can manage. Good for you Jaysus, ignoring the bitches.
Anyone watching that behaviour would see through them both in an instant. People will notice and it won't be you that it reflects badly on. Very good news about DD.. stay strong.. this will die down and you are well shot of them.

MountIronSolo01 · 25/09/2019 20:29

Sometimes if you’ve nobody to talk to put headphones in and listen to music or a podcast whilst you’re waiting. You won’t be able to hear their silly laughing and it will distract you. ‘My Dad Wrote a Porno’ and ‘Fortunately’ are good ones.

ValerianV · 25/09/2019 20:31

Just stopping by again to give you a low five and a knowing wink. You are dealing with them amazingly well.

MarshaBradyo · 25/09/2019 20:31

I’m so relieved that your dd is ok

And they are desperate for you to notice them ha

You’re doing so well

valleysareus · 25/09/2019 20:33

I would wear earphones with loud music on until I saw your daughter coming towards you.

strawberry2017 · 25/09/2019 20:36

I know you said that this would be your final post OP but we are slowly creeping towards the 1000 post mark and after reading the full 3 threads I'm dying to know how this all ends.
I admire how you have handled yourself throughout the whole matter.
If you don't decide to keep things going. Then good luck and keep your head high. The rest of her minions will soon realise she's a lying b*tch

AryaStarkWolf · 25/09/2019 20:40

And K was the one who was supposed to be on your side originally, what a bitch

bananasaidso · 25/09/2019 20:46

all this sounds like they are doing everything from the mean girls play book. Did they read 'odd girl out' and then though hmm let's use all thes techniques? Weird people

SchadenfreudePersonified · 25/09/2019 21:00

They are dying to provoke you

Duckbill is right. This is a deliberate attempt to ramp up the drama and make you come across IN PUBLIC as being an hysterical mad bitch.

Ignore. Ignore. Ignore.

You're doing really well - keep it up.

katalavenete · 25/09/2019 21:02

They must have very, very empty lives if such silly power games are the only way they find fulfilment. It's pitiable really.

familyissue · 25/09/2019 21:04

Did Cs Dh say anything else to your ex? Did your ex explain how they have all treated you

Boujee · 25/09/2019 21:07

I have followed the thread, although not read everything, but if we go back to the beginning why would she lie when she accidently sent you the txt and say it was about someone at work and then c and L constantly texting inviting you places and asking if you were ok to cover up her mistake if she really thought you were having an affair surely she would of confronted you then. She's tangled herself up in her lies, l think it's dreadful how you've been treated.

Figgygal · 25/09/2019 21:08

Why the fuck is K enjoying this all so much?
Twat!!

BumbleBeee69 · 25/09/2019 21:19

C is in my opinion.. EVIL ... there I've said it.. dangerously evil OP Hmm

I too am in the team that believes your ExH did you a favour and he too heard it from the horses mouth that there are NO messages. Flowers

Grey Rock all the way Lady. Smile

SmellMySmellbow · 25/09/2019 21:28

Also glad your ex said something. It's allowed you to keep your grey rock, cool, calm, don't give a fuck attitude up yet has also clued C's DH into her nasty behaviour. Win win. Keep it up OP, it'll be killing them...

Jayaywhynot · 25/09/2019 21:35

Iv followed your threads since the 1st one. I'm raging on your behalf, you're doing the right thing, keep your dignity and grey rock them. Let your ex do his stuff, you keep schtum. If it trickles down to your DD then it's time to unleash the beast within. I'm north of England, if theres a MN meet up, I'll travel Flowers

scubadive · 25/09/2019 22:10

Hi op

I'm so sorry you have had such an awful time with this group. It is so hurtful when people who you have invested time and emotion with turn out not to have your back and be who you thought they were. It makes you question yourself and your judgement.

Keep going and keep strong for you DD and just accept the 'friendship' for what it was at the time, helping you through your marriage break up but now move on, knowing are not good people and in the long run it will be better that you didn't invest anymore time in them.

There was post a while ago that said there will probably be lots of much nicer mums in the playground who may have been out off by you being in the clique and now may be more open/value a friendship. Often the less attractive, less 'exciting' looking mums will make the better friends in the ling run.

Re C and her DH, I don't think her DH will have a clue. Don't think for a moment she through him out, it was telling that during that time she wouldn't accept visitors as she was too upset. That's because he was still there. When she had the others round for cocktails on the Friday, he was probably out after work. She went from too upset to see people to having a few round for cocktails and children for a sleepover. Who organises a sleepover days after their marriage falls apart. She made up the whole story to deflect from the questions that M might have asked after her DH said you weren't facebook friends and it worked.

The others all stick with her as she entertains, arranges social events etc and they don't want to be excluded from such social gatherings and siding with you would have risked all that. It's got nothing to do with who they believe, they just can't bear to lose their social status.

You may never know why C turned on you, jealousy of your friendship with others in the group probably and unfortunately as a single mum with limited spare cash you probably don't fit in as well into her clique. I lost more than 50% social invites once I became single, some people only want couples at social events. Hurtful and narrow minded but true. I was immediately dropped by my closest fried when my DH walked out, just at a time when I most needed a friend. Still no idea why but I think I just didn't fit the bill anymore.

I think ignoring them is the best course of action for your DD. If you confront them they could start to stop their children playing with your DD overnight. That said I would gradually start encouraging your DD to have other friends, start inviting new children round to play.

Good luck up. [Flowers]
