Crazy ex wife

Hueandcry · 10/03/2021 12:03

A year ago I met a man online. We literally met once as he was working near me although we chatted a fair bit. I think he made more of it than I did but we kept in touch for a while until I started getting messages, calls etc from his wife, her sister & his daughter. There was no chance of any relationship as we live too far apart & I told him he should sort out his divorce before he tried to meet someone as it was unfair on all concerned. Didnt hear from him again apart from a brief text about a month ago thanking me for being there for him last year. Fast forward to last night & I had a missed call from his wife from a different account on messenger (I had blocked her). She seems to have latched onto me being the reason for all sorts of things & wanted details of 'our relationship'. She wouldn't take no for an answer & kept disputing my version of events. I'm not really looking for advice. I've blocked her again. I just needed to have a rant about the craziness of it I suppose. I'm sitting here thinking wtf????

How on earth did she and all these other people get your number?!

It sounds like they’re still married and she wants details on an affair between you and him.

Did you know he was married? If the answer is yes, you're not justified in ranting about the craziness of it. You brought the craziness to your door.

Dress3 · 10/03/2021 12:08

Also, are you sure it is his wife?

kept disputing my version of events
Was her version of events that they are still married and you were an affair?

She wouldn't take no for an answer & kept disputing my version of events

Why would you even attempt to offer an explanation? You can't argue with stupid. Block him and every account she tries to contact you through and ... never reply - you're just giving oxygen to her crazy.

Ardvark111 · 10/03/2021 12:11

I hope she not got a rabbit,!! 😂 ( and I don't mean a vibrator LOL... you have to ask yourself do you really want this drama in your life,?

SpongeBobJudgeyPants · 10/03/2021 12:15

Crazy ex wife Hmm You have absolutely no idea what he's told her. I would be more concerned I had involved myself with a knob, and would be blocking him too. It's always the women who are crazy for some reason Hmm

Hueandcry · 10/03/2021 12:17

No I don't want this drama. That's exactly what I said a year ago. I knew he was separated, divorce pending. She has a new partner. She looked me up on fb & used messenger to call me. Her sister pretended to be someone I knew. It's just the utter craziness of it I can't get over. They're all blocked now but you are right I shouldn't have even responded to her questions.

That's it though I didnt feel I had 'involved myself' with him. I met him once!

Whether she's unreasonable for being annoyed depends whether he was genuinely separated and in the process of a divorce when hou were talking or whether he was claiming to be separated whilst actually they were working on their marriage/separated but sleeping together.

However, contacting you over a year later, being told your perspective ans then pushing and pushing for that to change is crazy.

What does she think will happen? Pushing a stranger over and over doesn't change her situation at all.

SVRT19674 · 10/03/2021 12:21

Block, block and block again. Him too. It seems they have a life full of drama and want to share the drama with you. Nip it in the bud.

Hueandcry · 10/03/2021 12:27

They were & are separated. She had a new partner before I met him. I don't need their drama in my life I'm just annoyed at her invading my headspace out of the blue. Until he texted me last month I didn't even have his number, that's how little I thought about it.

Oh & her version of events is that we were & are in a full on relationship but hiding it from her & their kids Hmm

LolaSmiles · 10/03/2021 13:29

Even if you were in a relationship, if they are separated and she has a new partner then it would be none of her business until such a (hypothetical) relationship was at the point of meeting children.

Ignore her OP. It sounds like she has her own issues and they're not going to go away.

Hueandcry · 10/03/2021 13:31

You're right. All of them are blocked. Annoyed at myself for even responding.

YoniAndGuy · 10/03/2021 13:46

Oh go on have some fun.

Unblock her and send a long text message with about ten random mobile numbers you've made up, with long details on whose they are and when to call 'And this is my cousin's number, I'm usually there on a Wednesday after school for an hour or two but if I'm not, refer back to the number I gave you earlier for Aunty Jean - that's her mum - if it's Weds I'll be with one or the other...'

And end it with a line of smileys and CAN'T WAIT TO TALK TO YOU SOON AND NEITHER CAN ALL MY FAMILY, LOTS OF LOVE HUN XXX

she will shit herself that you are a total weirdo and never call again.

PaterPower · 10/03/2021 13:57

One of my exes (not married or had kids together) did this to someone I’d seen exactly once. She and I had been split up for months. According to her, we were married and had kids and this woman was a home wrecker. She kept contacting her over and over again. There’s little accounting for crazy.

Hueandcry · 10/03/2021 18:18

Haha @Yoniand Guy, tempting but im not the weirdo here Grin
