This is light hearted post but I just wanted to hear if there were any stories out there where your partner/spouse went off with the OW and the grass suddenly turned to mud?!!
After being deeply hurt, I now find myself chuckling when I think of the ex (mid 50's) back to changing nappies and sleepless nights and telling his mother that he has no time for himself and cannot BELIEVE how expensive baby formula is!!
Most of his friends are driving sports cars and have grown up kids (like we also do) yet the only thing he's driving is a new double buggy ! LOL!

@Rubybluesy

Omg sooo bitter
I know...

But not half as bitter as all the dads who are condemed for being crap fathers for abandoning their children.

Or being labelled the OW for life cause that lable NEVER leaves you.

Dads who leave their first kids and neglect them for their second families are pieces of shot and so are the women who support them

The ‘ o ‘ was not deliberate . They are shit Smile

Rustyplastic · 10/12/2020 01:35

The only thing bitter about that is that it’s a bitter pull for those who think it’s ok to swallow

@TheFormidableMrsC so happy to hear your latest update. What that pair put you and your child through was one of the cruelest sagas I’ve ever heard. I’m glad to hear he is as miserable as he deserves to be and I hope she is too!

As to the holier than thous and plain old misogynists pissing on the OPs chips : give over.

Actions have consequences and seeing arseholes having to deal with theirs is one of life’s joys as they are never as clever, as brillant or as capable as they claim to be. The Germans have a word for it for a reason.

@Rainbowandscarlett

My ex ran off with my best mate What he didn’t know was she had mental health issues-one minute she was the best person ever and the next she could snap 3 days after he beat me up and left me for her their house burnt down,they lost everything She got him into debt by taking out loans in his name for alcohol-she’d drink at least 3 bottles of wine a day-that’s when she’d kick off She beat him up at least once a week She’d steal from him She’d tear up his clothes and break his stuff She’d take his wallet and go shopping for animals-at one point they had over 100 pets from dogs to snakes in a two bed house He lost his job due to her showing up and kicking off-at one point she put the window through This went on for a year-which they put me through hell trying to get custody of my dc Her mum died so she upped and left him-for another man He was left homeless and met another woman-moved in with her within a week and she was worse

He tried to come grovelling back but I just laughed

I’m now very happy and I’ve heard he lives in old pubs that need someone to keep an eye on the place until it’s sold-and he gets £50 a week for doing it cash in hand
He can’t get a job as it would mean paying for his dc

I love karma

at one point they had over 100 pets from dogs to snakes in a two bed house

This is hilarious!! Grin Grin

Shame this thread has been derailed so often, I don’t think anyone’s judging older (or younger) parents - doing it all for the first time is completely different than starting at the beginning all over again!
And you can ‘not care’ about your ex, while still having a chuckle and posting a thread about it!

Can't the Judgey Brigade go away and leave us to enjoy karma?
This.
They seem to have missed the ‘lighthearted’ part of the OP. Have loved the karma posts especially the OW compulsively spending money on animals Grin

Everyone's missing the light-heated aspect it appears

If she hadn't got involved with my exH it wouldn't have happened, so as far as I'm concerned this is on her

And him too I presume.

She shagged your husband, she didn't commit mass murder

Kimster7 · 10/12/2020 08:29

That is pretty unpleasant to be honest. Those posts are taking it too far. Bitterness gets you nowhere in life.

JaneM8888 Sounds like your slutty ex husband took advantage of a mentally unstable younger woman.

Your posts are utterly vile, and not in the spirit of this thread.

KeyLimePies · 10/12/2020 09:20

@JaneM8888, this thread is meant to be lighthearted. It seems posters on both sides seem to have missed the lighthearted bit.

Your post comes across as vindictive and plain nasty - the epitome of ‘bitter’.

LimitIsUp · 10/12/2020 09:38

I don't think we need a pile on re JaneM888
