Why would you put dealing with a scheming malicious woman in front of attending your son's wedding. It is not normal to put a trashy ex-girlfriend before your son's happiness. What is wrong with you?

From his own posts, we have all read how he was continually scammed from the very beginning. No amount of ‘good stuff’ (ok, apart from the water melon stuff maybe) could have happened during that period to balance out the constant scamming he faced from the very beginning to enable any reasonable person to describe that period as bliss. If P11’s on his usual form I expect he’ll ask me to explain where he was scammed …

I’ve always felt the whole thread has been a scam of sorts because in my heart of hearts, I find it difficult to comprehend that anyone as intelligent as P11 appears to be, could also be so totally daft when it comes to dealing with this woman. Yes P11, we know we don’t have to read the posts if we don't like it but we do because as I’ve said before, it’s entertaining, especially with the comments from other members.

I’ve also noticed that P11 has become more irate over the past 6 months or so and more so as those members who had a certain empathy for his plight have become more and more frustrated with his intransigence towards what is mostly common sense to practically everyone else. So once again P11, please try and move on with your life. What you’re doing right now is not moving on!

Excellent post. Hopefully all those who have posted less than gracious remarks will now be silent.
Happy days, and as it is the beginning of a weekend I will raise my glass (one of many!) in your general direction this evening.

For what it's worth... I will give P11 a bit of praised. Here was a guy who (I'm guessing) was very unhappy with his life back in the UK for many few years. He makes a decision to end his unhappy marriage, and basically Sells the Farm to starts over in a sunny tropical paradise with a younger, and sexier woman (this could have just as easily been a woman also making this big change).
Most people would have never had the guts (???) to take this big plunge (which most likely put a huge dent in his relationship with family and friends in the UK). Most people in their later years would have just sat on a bar stool and complained their lives away, to the point their on their death bed and are left muttering...."I wish I would had done it differently and jump on that plane when I had the chance".

Oh well...this will most likely be my last post on Me and My Family... sometime you just have to walk away and let people live their own life...for better or worse. Best of luck P11...

I got the best deal as I got him, his wife and their two kids to come and stay with me in Australia for three weeks
