Me and My Family

Re: Me and My Family
I love how the facebook contact status is some kind of barometer of the relationship. If my wife deleted me on Instagram (I'm too young and hip for facebook) it would take me weeks to notice as I wouldn't even think to check there.

P11 - try laughing at her. You'll never get the truth, so enjoy some of the crazy, then escape to the hotel that someone kindly offered.
Have you found out if you're married yet? It feels like this is a critical bit of intel to know if you can just up and leave safely.

Re: Me and My Family
Thanks. Sorry to hear all this, I think I know how you felt. I have read many similar stories, so it is not uncommon here. But at least in your case, it has ended happily. You deserve nothing less.
Moving on....
Creditor is now more strident for payment today and has made an unspecified threat if payment is not made today. Not sure what that is yet. No news from the wife about the money that is owed to her from her customer. Doubt if that will be forthcoming. She has confined herself to her room all day but keeps msging me that the creditor is harassing her. I have msg'd the creditor once again about this. Wife has now deleted me from FB.....no surprise there then. Not looking forward to the fallout later...
As I said earlier, it would be easier to deal with this if I had the support of my wife. But it appears to me that I am to blame for all this. Again.
Regards

Re: Me and My Family
Imagine if your wife deleted you from Insta, in a strop. Just stop there. Imagine if that happened? Would you be able to stop laughing at her?

No...I have not yet checked the validity of our marriage yet. Will do it if I have to leave as top priority so I know exactly where I stand. Personally, I don't think it has been registered because any official documents she gets, she gives them to me for filing. I have a big wedding folder mostly full of gumph....Nothing in there.
Moving on.....not yet heard again from the creditor. But I guess that will come very soon this evening. I don't intend to play hardball just yet because I always prefer to play my high cards last. Wife has been moping around in her bedroom all day interspersed with washing machine activity. Asked her if she wanted to go for lunch..."Don't want". Same for a trip to the beach this evening with the same response. Gets back and she has gone out....no idea where. Probably with her mates. Once she did something similar, she ended up in the "big city". First I heard about that was a cry for help from the hospital there. Suffered from abdomen pains and checked into the hospital. Nothing was found despite tests. A cry for help is what I put it down to. She just cannot sit down with me....or anyone, and ask for help. But there you go.
All for now. Off to the beach later for a swift half later methinks...
Regards

While you are sat at the table with the rest of the "players" in this sorry saga,smugly holding that ace flush close to your chest,keep looking behind you to make sure nobody is creeping up on you with a cheese wire or rope,metaphorically speaking of course.
Personally,i would not be playing cards with these people in the first place,as it has just struck me now...."JUST WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU HAVE TO WIN FROM THIS PARTICULAR GAME?"
Seriously,what is the upside of this whole story,should you play it to the end and win through?
I think i have asked a very good question that maybe will not/can not be answered.

J.....Despise me? Doubt it. If she despised me she would have left some time ago. She knows that I have no money to talk of and if she was money orientated, she would now be leeching someone else. Despise is a very strong word.
Moving on...again. This sad episode happened when she finished her work a couple of weeks ago with a sick note. She needs money ...not for her vanity...but for something else. Yes...I know about the 3k interest she needs to pay but I remember one rumour that was circulating a little while ago. She had a bf with whom she was besotted with. Rumour goes that she paid for the hotel rooms and bought him gifts to keep him. In fact he is most probably a gigolo. I have no proof of the rumour....except blue sexy nighty would be a reasonable pointer. I could add more which has been documented previously in this blog. The way she has been behaving recently tells my instinct that she can no longer give him enough to keep him. But....that is just a thought.
Now for something completely different for what its worth. We have a Maltese Terrier which recently gave birth to 4 pups. Now, I am not a doggy person by nature, but our problems appear to be affecting our dog. She knows. And she is saddened by it. I see the look in her eyes when she sees us arguing and her reactions. I am saddened also....

Re: Me and My Family
Thanks for that very honest answer P11,and i appreciate that it is a very sincere reply,as you have replied in a very short period of time.But just please be very careful if you do lose your rag out there,as they can be very fierce people themselves when cornered/challenged...as you will know already.
Oh,and one other thing....try not to upset the dog too much.....otherwise you will be making a Maltese Cross.
Ingats my friend.Take care.

I just find it an immature thing to do. Mind you....think this has happened about a dozen times before.

I'd go and check the marriage situation. You'll be in a better position knowing that and being able to use it if needed, or know and be able to make a swift exit unimpeded. I appreciate it may not be nice to find out, but you're a big boy and can cope.
Go enjoy a beer, get rat-arsed and sleep on the beach or something. Give her something to really moan about.

Something occurred to me sometime ago and I always forget to mention it here. Perhaps because its a wild thought which I am often prone to. Lets assume the marriage has not been registered and therefore I am still single. So is she. Why should that be? Maybe she has been married before and therefore she has committed bigamy. A serious crime here. Would she have taken the risk? Seems unlikely to me..but possible. What other reason could there be? Clue....besotted by another bloke. I will leave that there.

Re: Me and My Family
Try something, keep your spirits up. The next door slam or tantrum, just chuckle or belittle it. Crying for attention is what it is, treading on eggshells or offering lunch / beach beers is meeting that craving. Just laugh and ignore.

Haha....love it. Thank you. Might be better than sleeping with 5 dogs...

Re: Me and My Family
I wouldn't do the laughing thing as it might escalate. I'd just go out and cut all attention. My wife tried this once... I went out and said to her (very calmy), I'll be back at 10 pm, either you be in a good mood by the time I come back or have packed your bags and left - you decide.
She's was still there when I returned and never tried it since.

Re: Me and My Family
Registered or not you went through a marriage ceremony, you are married. The question would be was that marriage legal. When I got married, after the ceremony I and several other people had to sign the marriage certificate, I think about 8 copies. Surely you remember that.
