The ex bashing/discussion thread

My ex was having an affair and tried to manipulate me into thinking I was just being paranoid. I mean, I went through the whole "maybe I am a manipulative control freak" phase and felt guilty about thinking she was having an affair (when she was).

She had an affair with one of my best friends ... and then some. I tried to do the right thing. I told her to stop the affair(s) go to marriage counselling, or leave. She replied by saying she was not my "property" and could do whatever she wanted to do and could do it with anyone she wanted to do it with. She was having one affair in our home.

She even threatened me several times saying that if I had mentioned the affairs to any judge, she would just make me out to be an abusive monster. Her words exactly were "And the judge will believe me because I am a woman."

In response to that, I told her I would subpoena our neighbors, friends, stepson's (her biological son from previous marriage) teachers and his principal. I left to go to work one day, and was served with a restraining order. Came back home, everything that wasn't nailed down was gone. She disappeared .... for four years.

She had changed her name several times, ran several real estate scams and re-married (bigamy) and had two children (one of which was born exactly 9 months after she abandoned the marriage), as well as left a crateful of boxes she had forgottent to take with her.

In those boxes was everything I needed to prove her affair to a judge. However, no one knew where she done r-u-n-n-o-f-t to. I also had proof she had lied in order to get the restraining order.

Then she was found, was served by a special agent and I got my divorce. Oh well .... that was one creepy lady I never have to deal with again.

My attorney was very good, had DNA evidence as well as birth certificates. We even were able to find out she had tried to scam her first husband's family by pulling the same victim crap.
 
I'm glad that my now deceased father had limited visitations when my siblings and I were young, he opted not to use his parental right after few visits and basically, disowned us. No biggie for me as I never had any memory of him. The court also advised him not to have much access to us kids.

Unfortunately, my mother's experience with him has left her with feeling she has had to make precautions regarding our safety and finances.

My mum's the best! :)

Damn, that's definitely a crazy ex wife. :shock:
 
I was the same when I read it. She was one piece of cake. Thanks goodness, Steinhauer got out of that marriage without a criminal record.

oh ... she really really tried.

I now have to apologize to women when they tell me about an abusive ex husband ... I always take those stories with a few chunks of salt now.
 
Are you gay now? I would be. I'd never touch another woman again, if I were in your shoes. lol
 
I can see why, but not every woman is as crazy as your ex-wife.
 
How INCONSIDERATE of him! Geez!!!
Yup, but that is just par for the course. He explains his actions by saying "You screwed me when I was the visiting parent. Now it's your turn to get screwed."
BTW - if your ex is the inconsiderate one, he is the one losing because your son is seeing what his dad is really like.
EXACTLY, my son has already said such.
Good point! It would explain why Juli and her son's very close. He, obviously, knew she is the only one he can turn to for help and the like.

I hope that his trust in me stays that way through his teen years. I hope he doesn't rebel on me too much.
 
I know ... there is such a thing as "good crazy" but my ex wife was just more along the lines of "mental".

Sounded like she has morals of an alleycat. No, I'm not talking about ADer's Alleycat. :lol:

Did you ever get a psychologist's diagnosis of what your ex wife is?

No. However, I do remember her being very resistant to seeing a licensed marriage counselor.

edit: resistant is an understatement, she was downright hostile.

IMO, she probably had some psychological counseling in her past. She didn't like what they said about her o she refused to go back to ANY counselor.

In my opinion, that's a big red flag. I bet if she had gone, the counselor would have seen through her.

:shock: great minds think alike!

I'm sure with the boundary you have and will set for him, he'll turn out fine.
From what you said, he sounded like a good boy who respects his mother.
 
I feel really really bad for the kids. When they served papers, they served them knowing her bigamist husband did not know she was married.

Well, it is unpleasant to think about. I am just glad it is over.
 
Yeah, not many people do. I pay $43 a month on average. I have it prorated though out the year.

I have energy saving lights (these florescent sprialy thingy) in every socket, I don't watch TV, my AC/Heater is energy efficient, I also leave one light in the kitchen on all night. other than that, everything else is off.

During the day my thermo is set at 66 degrees, and I am under a sleeping bag keeping warm atm.

BTW for the rest of your post .... O.o!

Same here.
I pay $17-$25 a month on average. Hee hee hee...
