Glad it wasn’t horrendous @bananabeau even though it’s a shame your predictions were correct.

How did your DH and the rest of the family react to her shenanigans?

They are all used to it tbh. Extended family were commenting how great I was for him, and how seeing the contrast was astounding.

Morning, apologies for the late reply.

I was exhausted yesterday. Event went as anticipated, tears and tantrums. But I didn’t let it ruin my day. Glad it’s over and actually glad I seen the gatecrasher in all her glory. Made me realise I have absolutely nothing to worry about or feel intimidated by.

❤️

Good woman ♥️.
Spoken like a true Princess Anne who would add that horses are better anyway.

His extended family? Presumably still talking in the present tense of how great you are for him? I hope they tell him that once you've gone. He lost you by pandering to his crazy ex and not treating you properly.

You sound so much stronger than in your first thread.

There's light at the end of the tunnel.

Hopefully their continued awfulness will keep you motivated to move forward on to better things .

Rabbitsockpeony · 17/07/2025 23:42

I’m willing you away from this freak show @bananabeau. Your H is such utter scum I can’t even say, and his ex is dangerously unhinged.

MyDadWasAnArse · 19/07/2025 22:36

They're all as mad as hatters.

Grrrpredictivetex · 22/07/2025 14:55

@bananabeau how are you doing?

LardoBurrows · 28/07/2025 18:34

Just wondering how you are doing @bananabeau and how your plans for freedom are coming along. Hope you are ok.

Ilikegreen · 01/08/2025 21:39

Thinking of you and hope all is well

bananabeau · 05/08/2025 10:29

I’m feeling really low. I have been for a few weeks. I don’t know how much more I can take. I’m sorry

MyOtherProfile · 05/08/2025 10:32

I'm so sorry to read that Bananabeau. Has anything happened? I really hope you can be free soon.

bananabeau · 05/08/2025 10:34

He’s taken every single penny of our money. I don’t even have 1p. He worked out I planned to leave. He’s making sure I don’t even have bus fare to the next town

MyOtherProfile · 05/08/2025 10:40

How on earth? That's terrible. I'm so sorry. What a bastard.

MyOtherProfile · 05/08/2025 10:41

Could you contact Women's Aid?

bananabeau · 05/08/2025 10:42

I can’t speak on the phone. He is constantly here. I’m actually making myself ill. I just can’t do it anymore

MyOtherProfile · 05/08/2025 10:48

Do you have anyone at all you can speak to? Any family or friends at all anywhere?

Fizzypop88 · 05/08/2025 10:49

Oh gosh, what a bastard. I don't even think there are words. Do you have a salary you can divert to a new account? Do you have anyone (family/ friends) who can help?
You can't let this colossal cunt win.

bananabeau · 05/08/2025 10:51

I have changed for my salary to get paid into a monzo account I have set up. I’m going to be trapped with not a penny for almost two weeks. The atmosphere here is horrific. I have no one to ask for help

MyOtherProfile · 05/08/2025 10:52

Please try woman's aid. And maybe speak to your manager to see if you can get any kind of advance. You really need out of there.

Stilllifes · 05/08/2025 10:54

Go into a police station.
Ask for the domestic abuse officer.
Call 999 from the loo.
You do not have to tolerate this.
Tell them he is holding you hostage having taken all your money.
You can do this.
Ring the police.
This is coercive control which is a serious crime.

TheFormidableMrsC · 05/08/2025 11:03

@bananabeauplease ring the police and tell them what you’ve told us and that you need help to leave. He is holding you hostage and financially controlling you, that is a crime. Please please call both police and women’s aid and get yourself out of there.

IsThisLifeNow · 05/08/2025 11:04

yes please go to women's aid or the police. I'm so sorry this is happening

I totally agree. Please do this Bananabeau. I wish we could help you more! x

ThePoshUns · 05/08/2025 11:28

Sorry to hear this banana. I would echo others and contact the police when you are in work. He is controlling you it is a criminal offence. You will be supported by police and the third sector in your local area, you don not have to live like this.
