Hi she-ele, blacksheepy and aussie :-x

It's "easy" to ignore Mr Ex but all day I was tossing up whether to reply to his sister. But I know it's not a coincidence they both contacted me today.

With that in mind, I feel like they are trying to manipulate me, so I'm taking your advice and I won't be responding to his sister either. I liked her, as a SIL, but I'm hurt she knew about the A. She did apologise later but I haven't heard from her for months.

I can just imagine his sister saying to him "when you were with Ms Cat your life was way better than the black hole you're in now". Lets get her communicating with you again and see what happens".

:^O dumb donkey bottoms

Oh sheesh what a day I had yesterday. First the texts and emails from Mr Ex and his sister, then found out the landlord wants an inspection to do a valuation of the house I'm renting. 😮

I feel like running around the house singing lalalalalalalalala with my eyes closed and fingers in my ears looking slightly loopy ... but I'll chant instead :^O

Hugs and higs to all :-x

My motto of the day:

When all else fails you just gotta laugh.

Hi curio!

Hello lovely people  *waves*  ~~~~~

Higs and hugs to you.  :-x

Waves to MIA + extras  😉

Ms Cat,  Correct advice to ignore MrEx, also regarding your SIL.  If she was wanting to keep up the friendship after you and the bloke went your own way then that would have been fine.  Even if you heard from her or contacted her yourself as a friend every couple of months that would also have been OK.  But for her to come out of the woodwork and wanting to be chummy now - forget it.

Not on..............Ignore her too.  Leave them wondering.

If she tries to make phone contact, when you realise it is her on the phone, be polite but don't give her any information about yourself and quietly tell her that you don't want any contact from his side of the family and then hang up.

Not long now until your holidays.  Whoop whoop.

How are you Ms Jacks? getting yourself all spruced up and all  *wolf whistles*

Is it this weekend you are going away with obnoxious friend and your other friend who is having a birthday?  HAve a great time if it is.

Enjoy the weekend everyone.

Hi Cat, Braff and all the lovely OKers and lurkers.

Weekend away is another two weeks yet and might not go ahead as yet. Birthday girl is arranging to postpone I think. She's going to let me know.

I am busy packing for Qld. Leaving Monday woohoo.

I hope Alicia is improving each day. :-x

[jack*in*a*box]

Good morning :-x

I hope everyone is feeling fab on this sunny Saturday morning.

Brithday girl has postponed the entire weekend. Which is disappointing but has settled my dilemma. I rang best friend and she still wanted to do something with me. Nah!

Lesson learnt. Then she went on about trivial stuff and became argumentative. Time to go know it all.

I'm off to work soon. Enjoy your day everyone.

Good idea to cut off contact, that way you can limit any hurt to yourself whilst you're still vulnerable.

I was FB friends with a lot of the ex inlaws. ( he was one of 10 kids! So yep there were a few.) He left me in May and it was my MIL's 80th in June. A river cruise down the Yarra was planned and everyone was invited. It hurt to see them post their excitement about the event on FB. Not so much because I wasn't going to be going, but becasue I knew she ( the other woman ) was and also because I knew my kids had also been left out. To this day it irritates me that she was so readily accepted into the fold without question and yet after me being with him for 25 years only 3 of the ex inlaws......and thsoe 3 weren't his siblings either, they were the siblings partners, ever bothered to make contact with me and see how I was travelling. To this day his mum has not spoken a word to me or made any effort to see how her grandchildren are going, yet I know she has been out to dinner on several occasions with just him and her. Something he or his mum ever did when it was the two of us. Still, haivng said that, it has come to light that he has been telling people I assaulted him during our marriage and also that I intended to pack up and move to America with an internet lover, so who can blame them for thinking less of me?

I know the truth and I just concerntrate on that being all that matters to me. Anyone that truly knows and cares for me knows the truth too. Anyone else doesn't matter.

Forgot to say I culled my friend list after that so I didn't have to see or hear how that side of the happy family was fairing, because at that stage of the game it was causing me more stress to read it than it was worth and I already had enough of that on my plate.
