I’d ignore them. Maintain your dignity.

OldEvilOwl · 06/10/2020 12:58

He's trying to wind you up - ignore him (and her)

PeachesTheFlamingo · 06/10/2020 13:04

I'd ignore them. Don't let him (or her) try and provoke you into lowering yourself to his pathetic level.

Keep your head held high. His is insignificant. Concentrate on you and you happiness!

PeachesTheFlamingo · 06/10/2020 13:04

*He is insignificant

FlorenceNightshade · 06/10/2020 13:05

Do you have DC together? That’s the only reason I can think of that would warrant civility. Ignore him and pity her

Bunnymumy · 06/10/2020 13:06

'I'll wave. I'll probably have my shopping though so will have to wave with one finger'.

HUGS65 · 06/10/2020 13:12

Thank you for your comments made me smile. No children apart from legal matters and his stuff in loft. He keeps saying he wants to be friends but he has?hurt me too much

Yeh sack that, he wants to be friends so he can play you and this other woman off against eachother. All about his ego.

That's not a friend, it's a wanker.

Drop his stuff on her doorstep and block all contact.

No kids?! Go no contact! Legal stuff do through a solicitor and box up his attic stuff for him to collect from a third party. Please don't allow him the opportunity to take up any more headspace than is necessary Thanks

I'd wave .. with one finger.

CorianderLord · 06/10/2020 14:37

I'd ignore them, if he tries to speak just grey rock him.

Givemeabreak88 · 06/10/2020 17:36
Shock
Raidblunner · 06/10/2020 18:02

What a wanker! Yes I'd wave, my middle finger!

peboh · 06/10/2020 18:03

I'd tell you I'd ignore them, but honestly I'm a hot head and would probably end up decking him. Take the high road, and if you see them just continue about your day. Don't let them him see you sweat.

mbosnz · 06/10/2020 18:12

'Well, you'd be disappointed then, wouldn't you, ex? People what the likes of you have shown yourself to be aren't the likes I wish to be seen associating myself with'. . .

FriesianSparkle · 06/10/2020 19:10

@bunnymumy that tickled me lol 🤣😂

daisydukes26 · 06/10/2020 19:13

Keep your head high and your dignity in tact. And call him a massive cunt behind his back.

FelicityPike · 06/10/2020 19:17

The stuff in your loft....box it up and leave it in her front garden.

bigpurplefuryknickers · 06/10/2020 21:23

Smile, wave & wish her luck!

noego · 06/10/2020 22:20

Have a read of chumplady.

She calls it eating cake (I think)

iluvgab · 06/10/2020 22:32

Give him a date to collect the stuff by otherwise it gets dumped outside the girlfriends.
Once you have got rid of it get him blocked on everything.
If you see them just ignore.

GCHWho · 07/10/2020 00:37

Oh I’d wave - with 2 out of 5 digits !

Anordinarymum · 07/10/2020 00:39

After 16 years and he wants to remain friends ??? Seriously ???

shimmyshimmycocoapop · 07/10/2020 01:09

I'd be tempted to stop him as he waved merrily with the new girlfriend and say you tested positive for a STI and as you haven't had sex with anyone apart from him he should get tested and figure out where he caught it.

AgentJohnson · 07/10/2020 08:51

I would wave very cheerily and go over and politely decline his offer of friendship and request that he remove his items from your loft within 7 days.

He isn’t interested in your pain but he will be irked by you appearing to be over him.
