Good luck today you amazing lady 🤩
And remember, that man has lost the best thing that ever happened to him. Through his ego, his arrogance and his ignorance he overlooked the funniest, compassionate, tenacious women I’ve come across in a long time. He could have had a loving family, a rocket woman by his side and a delicious home cooked meal most men would salivate after every night. Instead he choose money, and a dolled up low morals substitute.
Drab = Fab
You’ve got this superstar ✨

Good morning and thank you for all the lovely words of support, I cried some tears last night reading all your messages ❤️ hoping today goes well and I’ll talk to you all soon.

I’m so thankful for all of you, except for pinkflamingo… i am returning her negativity to sender 😌

You’re brilliant and sending you so much strength and support for today @Jessa85 ❤️

LordGaGaisasahd · 13/03/2025 07:02

@Jessa85

Today is the first day of your new life.

You've got this 💪

P.S aren't Pink Flamingos a bit like chicken underneath, especially when roasted?

Glenthebattleostrich · 13/03/2025 07:03

Sending love and support for today.

You are incredible

Daleksatemyshed · 13/03/2025 07:08

Difficult day ahead of you @Jessa85 but also an important one, today is the start of a whole new better life. Stay strong ❤

Flossy1985 · 13/03/2025 07:09

Yes Queen!! You are doing amazingly well keep your head high think of the girls we are all behind you 🤩❤️

Bluenotgreen · 13/03/2025 07:11

We will all be thinking of you and standing behind you, with our arms crossed, giving him the hard stare.

Good luck. A much better life is ahead. 💐

Let this be a warning to anyone who treats their spouse like this. You will get your cumuppance!

supersop60 · 13/03/2025 07:19

Thinking of you today.
Stay strong.

madroid · 13/03/2025 07:23

@Jessa85 Hope it all goes well today.

Remember to breathe, try to eat a little and be prepared for a 'come down' when the worst is over and the adrenaline wears off.

PS can you have a mum friend on standby for an emergency playdate if you need to talk without the dds in earshot for a bit?

Mix56 · 13/03/2025 07:27

If he has wifi on the flight he can presumably make a call ? Be ready for that
Food Luck...

Ang69 · 13/03/2025 07:27

Jessa, today you and your girls start a brand new life. It will be scary and bumpy to start but you will all be absolutely fine. You have a fabulous family who support you irl as well as us lot!!

No words for Mr Beige Food. He will no doubt be flying as we speak, sitting smugly in his seat thinking about his floozie and their upcoming Ariabian Nights life together. We all know that won't be happening as they expect. He has so badly underestimated you, that it why the shock you give him today will completely upend him.

Good luck today, you have an absolute army of support from your new friends, we're no longer strangers. We all care genuinely. Mumsnet can be an absolute cesspit but there is a huge amount of genuinely good people on your side. Ignore the ones that can't read/comprehend.

Happy new life day to you and your girls, your future awaits!

CookieWarbler · 13/03/2025 07:29

I've been reading your thread and updates from the start Jessa. You are absolutely inspirational and worth 100 of your sad sack of a soon-to-be ex-husband.
All the luck in the world today, Mumsnet is cheering you on!

Strictlymad · 13/03/2025 07:34

yhank goodness for your post two weeks ago! Or you could be oblivious now and it would be him emptying accounts and dropping the bombshell on you this weekend. But you’ve really got ahead of the game on his cheating nastiness!

Thinking of you today. I hope things go as well as they can do, and that you manage to remain calm and in control. Hugs for the inevitable tears later ❤️💐

LadyBracknellsHandbagg · 13/03/2025 07:41

@Jessa85 Sending you very best wishes for today, you have been amazing and completely dignified about this whole situation, you are so much better without this silly, little, man who has no idea what he’s about to lose. Your daughters will be so proud of you for setting them such a good example.

Whodoyouthinkuare · 13/03/2025 07:43

Good luck today! I don't think I've ever come back to a thread so often to check for updates!

JugglingMuggle · 13/03/2025 07:47

oh, one other thing, and this has probably been said before, but if you do have any face to face conversations today, I’d set your phone to record it all. He will undoubtedly say things today that he denies later. You have the power of Mumsnet behind you. You’re incredible. X

I think the only thing you’re forgetting is getting a manicure, hair cut and colour, and some fabulous clothes from the joint account too because after all, he told you you’re drab and need to smarten up…..

I'd definitely do this! Massive make over before he gets back!

OchreRaven · 13/03/2025 07:57

Rooting for you. Good luck today. If he doesn’t accept the divorce get him to tell you what he brings to your life. If he says ‘financial support’ say ‘don’t worry I’ll get that in the divorce’.

he certainly doesn’t bring loyalty, love and commitment!

Trixiefirecracker · 13/03/2025 08:01

Good luck! Rooting for you!

LadyMacbethssweetArabianhand · 13/03/2025 08:02

I'm another wishing you well today and in the future.

Dandelionsarefree · 13/03/2025 08:11

OP I have been following your updates and just want to say, you are absolutely amazing!!!
What a role model for your daughters and all of us. I just can say I have huge admiration for you.
Enjoy your freedom. You really deserve it.

Dragondrums · 13/03/2025 08:13

I have followed both threads from the beginning. Such an amazing transformation. This is my first post on Mumsnet and I just came to say I'm wishing you all the best for a happier future.
