I didn't realise I'd have to start a new thread - it's amazing the amount of people that have offered advice / made me laugh, it's appreciated

It was the strangest thing! Yes Yeo Valley yoghurts and milk Confused

I've not been able to change the locks but I've double locked the door this afternoon, as he doesn't have a key for the bottom lock

I do however, have his bike at mine (which won't fit in my car, only his)

I agree in general with the post a while back which urged the OP to check her own feelings before taking action. I mean, I am completely in agreement with the assessment of everyone else here, but it's not my life and I won't have to live with the fallout. So do take a moment if you need one OP.

I also like the unsubtle competition on this thread to come up with the winning nickname for twatface Grin

@coulis I don't mean to sound thick, but isn't an update when something happens? I'm sure people don't want to hear about what I've had for dinner or what I've watched on TV Confused

haha, yes exactly, re updates

You are doing grand

isthismylifenow · 15/10/2020 12:34

How are you doing today Droopyears?

lyralalala · 15/10/2020 12:37

Please move your youngest's console into one of the family rooms and really get clued up on how to monitor who he is talking with.

That post was off the bracket, some posters are a bit ... Confused.

MzHz · 15/10/2020 12:57

Agreed, some people use MN as a substitute for a Netflix subscription

@droopyears you have come such a long way in such a short time AND been manically busy with work AND had the dc to sort out ON TOP of having a bloody cold

Of course we all would like to know how things are going, because we know you need the support, but you’re the one living this and you owe none of us anything

Brew for you - you’re doing just fine

AcrossthePond55 · 15/10/2020 13:29

As far as what, if anything, you say to him I'd go with the advice of "never complain, never explain".

"Our relationship isn't working for me anymore. I've dropped your things to your sister's. Please do not contact me and especially do not contact my children. I wish you a happy life."

Etinox · 15/10/2020 13:39

Well done @droopyears
Courage!

NoraEphronsneck · 15/10/2020 13:49

Not insinuating anything, but what reason did he give for telling your older DC to get off the game but then continued with the younger DC?

Is it because your younger DC is more malleable, and he can make him feel sorry for him because 'mum is being unreasonable'?

Anyway, moot point as you've blocked him now.

Eddielzzard · 15/10/2020 13:52

He know think it's over yet. He's waiting for your apology. It's hard for your youngest, but overall you're much much much better off.

droopyears · 15/10/2020 14:04

@NoraEphronsneck Sorry I might not have explained very well. DC1 told DC2 to get off the game when he saw who he was playing with. The token thief didn't tell him to get off!

All His stuff his bagged up and in my car, I've just not had a reply from His sister yet

Oh sorry my mistake. Good on your older DC, sounds like he's got his head on his shoulders.

picklemewalnuts · 15/10/2020 14:10

Well done. You home may start to feel a bit more spacious!

Krampusasbabysitter · 15/10/2020 14:38

Chuckled that he has now been re-named as 'TheTokenThief'... Grin

LyingWitchInTheWardrobe · 15/10/2020 14:41

Don't bother yourself then coulis. Honestly, she had enough shitty responses on the last thread.

I agree with Itisbetter and didn't read her post as if she in any way advocating to keep this relationship. Speaks volumes that that is the conclusion that some leapt to and which such snitty responses too.

droopyears I've read your last thread and I picked out just your posts to start with. If ever there was a case of 'boiling a frog', it is your situation. Bit by bit he has inveigled himself into your home (and your fridge/cupboards) and allied himself with your children to facilitate that. I don't think any of that was accidental on his part, nor organic. There are so many things that you posted which in and of themselves could have not been so bad but, in such quick succession and with such little quid pro quo or consideration for your and your children, you had no choice but to get rid. Andy you did.

Bloody well done from me. Don't look back. Thanks

Good work! Can you drop it at his mum's if you don't get a response from his sister? I'd tell him you want your key back too.

picklemewalnuts · 15/10/2020 15:17

I wonder what his sister says about him.

droopyears · 15/10/2020 16:28

An update to make you chuckle! I have just received a message from The Token Thief stating that he is 'tired of my shit', and if it happens again then 'he's done' Hmm

Perfect text for me to respond to to end things!

OP posts:
AcrossthePond55 · 15/10/2020 16:35

Oooh, I guess that's you told then isn't it? Phffft!!!!!

Yes, text "I like 'my shit' just how it is. In fact, I like 'my shit' better than I like you! Buh-bye Felipe!!!"

Haha! He's so deluded.

Reply with "yeah I think I'm done, your stuff is in bin bags by my front door if you want it. Don't forget to drop off my key and yogurt tokens!"

Drinkingallthewine · 15/10/2020 16:36

Do a thumbs up.

Then block.

Welshgal85 · 15/10/2020 16:36

He’s clueless isn’t he?! At least you can respond and end things. Hope you’re doing okay! You’ll be much better off without that man-child around!
