Default Texts from her OM

Her OM text me the day before yesterday. He sent me a text saying he was changing his telephone number because he is fed up with all the hassle (?).

I couldn't believe it. It came out of nowhere. I replied and basically told him that I couldn't care less, and as he is so interested in my wife, he should be telling her, not me. His next text was really shirty, saying that he hadn't spoken to her in ages, and that it was all my fault. I explained that he had been messing around with my wife, so I was well within my rights to try to stop it. I told him he was nothing but a predator, preying on married women so he can have no strings fun, and when my WW got in too deep, he panicked and dropped her. It felt good to tell him that.

The text back said this. "You are the lucky one." He then went on to say that his wife of 8 years had slept with at least 10 other people, and that they live in small village so everyone knows his business.

Now, is that justification to sleep with my wife? Does the fact that his wife cheated on him make it ok to inflict it on another man? Am I really the lucky one? What an arsehole. The gist I had been given (by his wife) was that he was the one sleeping around. Whatever the case is between them, I just don't care. It's just not my problem.

I sent him a final text, telling him to clear off, and to take my wife with him. Leave me and my kids alone. I got nowt back after that.

It strikes me is that it's juvenile... Kinda like that commercial where the teenage girl calls a boy to tell him she's giving him the silent treatment....
He needed to TELL you he was changing his phone number, huh. Wonder why. Perhaps what he really wanted to get his "you're the lucky one" point across, to try and clear his conscience a little with you...

Default Re: Texts from her OM

My ex husband's ow would text me, trying to first apologize to me for all the hurt caused, then she would turn around and try to justify her actions, then she would turn bat sh*t crazy by blaming me. I texted her back and said "I would love to chat but I fvcking hate you" I also told she had a face like a butthole and some said some other rambles. I never heard back from her after that.

The OM/OW are insane.

What did you text for him to react as such? Considering your wife, she might have lied to him the entire time

BM,

You deserve better. Keep the VAR active and push your solicitor for the divorce papers.

Your wife is evil.

Stay strong. Focus on you and the kids.

With the OM breaking off with your wayward wife she is going to be really mean.

Pack a bag for your wife if she really gets mean to you.

If she does not calm down or leave the home, then take a "Best of Hits" of the VAR recordings and email them to her entire family asking them if she can stay with one of them.

The only problem is after they listen to the recordings they might not want her either.

Good Luck,

HM64

Too bad they can't make a worm you can send to the OM/OW's phone that will cause feedback in the battery and make their phone catch fire.

yes we all know what's "right"... but SO difficult to rise above it and not engage in any dialogue that we're so emotionally invested in with someone we've got so much negative feelings toward.

Better yet, the movie "Law Abiding Citizen" Scene with the judge...
Not that I'm bitter or anything...

To bad we can't go back to the good old days when you could just walk up to the OM in front of everyone and kick him in the nads.
