So it looks like settlement is almost thru, xh2 is still spewing via his l.

So to recap back to the beginning, things has spiralled out of control in the m for about a year. Xh2 was very angry hitting my then s15. He had threatened me and carried a pistol which was often loaded when we traveled. He kept loaded guns round the house within arms reach. He was getting nasty and accusatory, once even chasing me down when he thought I wasn't at work but at home cheating. He also punched and kicked his own animals and I once saw him assault his own son then 13 as a one off.

Then there were the famous lectures of the "wrong hemeriod prep" which would one hour of spew from him, interrupting resulted in more personalised spew of how disrespectful and rude I was as well as the unloving and uncaring over the hemeriod issue. grin grin

I know right far more pressing issues in the world than that, but I'm sure you get the pic. I was always placed last even lower than the dog. Any needs I asked to be met were once I aired them, met with distian and then he went out of his way to avoid granting them.

That issue just magnified as the years went on. I suspect either as I thought early on his got age related dementure or mlc. He talked to himself in almost like alter ego at bd.

So he left to be with his soul mate and has been with his quality ow since.

I made the decision I didn't think I could actually tolerate or go back after the a. So went nc by April after bd. Over 2 years ago.

I'm so dark I do not see him, the once or twice I almost had to speak to him as I had fronted him, I did the whole quick u turn and left.

Now life is great, bf and me don't fight actually not one about anything. In some respects he's gentle man. We manage to go to events with the horses and not one argument about what goes where how long pack up took or how much things cost!

It's such a relief, every place bf and I have been, I can recall a major row with xh2 it's a horrific memory of nothing but disagreements. Like vanilla and some others I suffer a bit from ptsd. It gets me at the worst times. It is getting less, much less.

I have found tho this standing up for one self makes you nothing but a target. I find the constant minor harrasements very tiring. The surprising thing being country most men didn't seem to acept women can be in charge. They can have money and Indepandance without a man, or even there own stuff while with a man.

Welcome to your new home Gg.

I thought I was D but WH yanked the chain on it.

So I can't join you here although I long for peace.

Those crickets are chirping. I envy you all in this quiet section of the board. SIGH.

Welcome, Ggrass! My ex is a pain too but it seems to be getting less over time. Congrats on the bf, too!
Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 09/07/16 06:38 PM
Well been locked out for some time.

Seems things are so close I can smell it now. There's still a few things and odd happenings but anywho. Spring is here and we are on to second aniversary soo stuff.
Like 2 years since I started the whole process.

Bf now has a good job and life will start to move along at a faster rate. My work well it's still the same in some respects I still feel stuck at times. And while in so,e respects I take it less personally I know that the odds aren't good that I will ever have good work life balance while in that job. It maybe time to start thinking again about other things that are less draining, while I love the people aspect the big company politics drive me mental.

Off to catch up on a few people, so see you guys around.
Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 09/19/16 05:11 AM
Well the last couple of things need to fall into place and it's all done and dusted.

Very empowering if I do say so.

Had a few odd things happen people who once were really close seemingly wanting to hang up or make excuses and close the door on you. Which is really really odd.

Family have been like it too on some counts, went to vist my sister some time ago she spent the whole time checking her watch and seemed to want to push me and bf out the door. We did call in on way back from somewhere else to be fair. Same type reaction, different way of expressing it. Which I just find, really odd.

Lost one of my ,horses just a random paddock mishap. No lambs this year I'm keeping well away. Bought my new gun and I'm loving that we go shooting each month more and more.

The one foal I'm expecting is due any day, which is exciting. The dogs are all healthy.

Winter has been fun with still heading up to board for the snow season. Some of the work mates just keep telling porkies including one boss. Which also makes me go hmmmmm. Just bugs me people think your stupid leave you no right of reply when they lie and latter you find out it simply isn't true.

Means the moment is gone, and you just get left with that feeling of being cheated. So the cycle continues, I have just taken to speaking my mind again at times but in a less loud way. Sometimes tho I do loose it and get loud.

I do know it says more about them than me, but it just really irks me they continue to think your super stupid. I need to find better ways of deal with them.
Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 10/07/16 04:29 AM
Well everything is now final, no strings no unfinished business.

And it's very true as plenty of said that which was yours will come back, some of my possessions which I had almost forgotten I owned have come back. Well not them exactly but replacement one. No cost just appeared in bf life and he bought them home.

I imagine his suprise when I said" I own one. Then quickly had to explain like many other things how come I don't have it"

The odd part about xh is all these things that he's kept belong to someone else and he's hanging onto them like some odd serial killer style trophy set up. which in some ways makes me very sad for him. It's very left of normal to want things not even gifted to you.
I'm sure it's his personal power trip. He seems to think it gives him control and connection the the long gone person.

As far as I know he's still with his soul mate, and I had another helpful friend forward an article about her. Which got deleted, and friends got a curt thanks but please I'm not the remotest bit interested don't bother passing along this rubbish.

Some other long term locals, aren't very accepting of bf and don't want to even acknowledge him. Bit odd in itself, but meh!

And there is the odd thing that makes you go hmmmmm, but over all things have really felt like closure to me. It's great to have it really gone and buried.

Summer is coming and I have so much planned. More events and things to do with the horses and chasing my bits that have been taken. Half the fun is actually the searching and finding. I have a couple I want to break in as one is past breaking in age and one just getting there. Have a few other stud type things happening like maybe a mare or 2 coming.

My pistol arrive and it's really super awesome, the other blokes are jealous and bf has scored better than ever with it.

Well the Ai, stuff was returned. Busy time had a couple of babies lost my old dawg.

S18 came the day we lost the dawg, he's finally manruting and things are going back in our r to a time where we relate a lot better like old times. With the added bonus he's a little more grown up. That's really nice, bf job is supposedly going ft and perminate so that's good news.

Still nc, but really these days have no disire to break that and I really like not having to put up with xh. Someone reminded me one of the greatest traits he had of being an Indian giver with Christmas fast approaching I think of all this years and gifts he kept and hope they finally bring him the happiness I know he's just never gunna get.

I know that Indian giving infiltrated all areas of his life, from the material to the emotional and it's not till we are reminded that we know really know all that has going and the difference it makes to have people really give and not expect payment to get back a return.

Is is really a zing the clarity you get as time marches on, the out of balance stuff and how nice it is when the ship really rights itself. Things feel a lot less out of control and I hard,y believe Some of the dramatics, even tho I lived it, I know why others find my story so hard to actually really believe.

I think in some ways I've softened and can feel absolutely sorry for him and people like him. That doesn't mean I engage as much as I did nor do I feel the need to justify myself by standing up verbally.

Almost a full circle, where we start validation even tho we don't truely feel it then want to stand up for our rights and then now I feel I can validate another life and story even if I know it not to be true because they believe it to be so I don't have to agree.

Interesting times really.

I was always amus3d that xWH kept the AI stuff.

He is as big a Wassock as the Giggalo.

I just laugh as much as I can and then some.

I had to google Indian Giver, as that gave me some rather curious images. Ah well.

Of all of the great folks here GG you have been instrumental in keeping me smiling and I find it appropriate that your D and fins are on the same time line as mine. The wassock and the Giggalo are in a parallel universe to us. NC is so good don't you think. Makes life easier and my time on this earth rather better.

I would like a bf and am not ready, my fins are so very dire and I have no idea how things will go with the Courts. I take no risks until then.

None.

One day I will get to know my wonderful GG.

So life moves on, and things happen.

Another round of Sumer and winter Is now upon us.
I have been what could be considered nc for a couple of years, the interactions for the finialsition of d hardly counts as breaking contact. He hasn't been sighted and I haven't allowed anyone to bring news.

He has been advertising items like cars for sale and people that knew us both keep asking me for information. I'm gathering by that he's not speaking to people he called his close mates. The whole shame of the a must keep him underground.

As far as I know he's still with the ow, as attractive as she isn't.
My r is still good. We do have some lb spouse jokes.
Pretty much things are quite and drama free.which is a great relief compared to the drama life I lived with xh2. All the arguements and triangulation I can live without.

Indian giver in our country means some who gives you something and then takes it back.
He went one better than that, he used to get you to agree to x and push back unitll you totally gave him what you orginally said no to and then some. Plus he took back his prior agreement or gift.
Posted By: mustardseed Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 07/03/17 04:29 AM
It sounds like you have found peace. I'm glad to hear that. I still can't NC my ex due to coparenting but just being D is peaceful.

Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 09/10/17 11:28 PM
So another change of seasons and babies are around the corner.
One foal this year, as winter doesn't want to leave I'm glad it's now not due for another couple of months.

Xh2 continues to send messages I need to contact him and go see him. Via third parties, like um nope. I have reached that point where really it's not worth my time I feel nothing but Indifference. Which the ic said is actually the opposite of love. Go figure
The fact he whined about me paying his legal because he wants to be right and have another whine. Maybe I should have sent him cheese to have with his whine! wink grin

I'm not sure what he thinks he has to gain. Playing stupid games.
He seems to still think he has power which is odd, but each to their own crazed ideas I guess.

Once things are done what real power would he have?
And who the bloody hell cares?

I can't help now feeling some sympathy for his mental health which is obviously mlc odd.
No more or no less than those sad folks you see with tea cosies on their head or complaining of the voices or aliens.
The ow woman is known " as that one xh2 is with! "
So she known as his appendage sad for her too. With no rights or Identity I remeber now that so clearly, and it feels great to have left that behind.

Me I now just seem to have money, always in my wallet, unlike before when it used to walk. I never have to phrase things to frame them in acceptable and appropriate ways.
It's just nice to be free of the rules to breathe and not worry.
Next holiday is booked a cruise again and I cannot wait. I'm not dreading it, I'm exicited and the before and after contrast is so stark even now.

I know the decision wasn't mine and early on I didn't agree but boy he did me a huge huge favour. He gave me so many gifts, he didn't realise.
Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 10/28/17 11:19 PM
So it seems xh2 is claiming my acihievements as his own. crazy grin

He seems much more mentally ill than I ever thought and a few friends have said they came away thinking he was a drug user. It's all very very odd. The new soul mate has been described by a few as a shim. Which Is odd, at one point I sort of had this feeling xh could have been gay.

His life seeems a jumble of made up stories and replaying of times past and others stories and lives. So maybe one of my gut feelings of mlc might have been on the money. It's hard to wish him any harm but I don't really want any part of that crazy.

By contrast life is peaceful, things are moving forwards just in a normal way. The lack of daily drama, the lack of sleep deprivation and gaslighting is just so nice. However I do find any slight threat of old stitches replaying out , I still get hackles. I don't like being in the triangle and often people place you there. I need to get better at staying out.

I find I still want to help and to fix if I'm not careful, and need to stand back more at times. I need to learn to be asked or invited to help. I guess I'm a work in progress too.

My other big area to work on is making plans and working thru to the end. I need to do more long range plans, for the farm and where I want it to go.

The other big area, is boundaries and sticking to them. I need to stay the course when I decided something. Not allow another's selfish stuff to set the agenda in my world.

Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 04/14/18 12:13 AM
So a couple of things but life is just so peaceful as a rule.

Reading the above post, shows me sometimes I'm more insightful than I feel at most hard points in relationships not just romantic ones. I've had to stand up a few times setting boundaries recently, most just in interactions that aren't romantic.

It is making me shake my head the number of people who try to threaten and push by calling you names or using labels designed to gain the upper hand. To make you behave in a certain way to gain advantage it's just seen as a normal and to a lessor degree I would have seen it as normal before. Now days it makes me just step back more,

Mutual friends of xh2 keep trying to bring info now of all times. Mostly of how well $ wise the xh2 and ow are doing how they are building a huge Mc mansion in a coastal location big $ to buy land and big $ to Bulid. How wonderfull the ow is and just to try and re write my version even tho they didn't live it...

Or how ss is so well off now he's bought land in an expensive location, I just don't wish them harm but just don't want to be in that triangle.

Thank goodness I haven't had to even remotely see or deal with either xh2 or ow. I did however cross his path, first time in ages. Think cars passing in the night...
which in some respect just made me laugh, there is no more fear or even sadness. I still feel same way that who could not just feel sorry for the mental health mess that is xh2 mind.

I've delt with a sort of bully at work, but it's not working because part of bulling is they don't listen and react to your setting of boundaries. The fact I've set them however regardless of how the bully acts makes me feel better. These days I can accept that the onus is on the bully who thinks they are helpful, to change and that may never happen.

And tbh I'm really ok with that when u wouldn't have been in the past, it would have festered. Now days I say it then I'm done.

Me thinks that's a

Huge victory for me right there.

I feel looking back I'm getting better, at deal with my side, I don't allow that being drawn in. Well sometimes I fail others tho I'm capable of stepping away.

The wonky lamb has returned and has been living under the clothes line, that will make v laugh. He's now decided he's dog again since his sheep mates have moved on. New ones willl move in soon, but for now he's driving me spare leaving sheep marbles to step in while hanging up the washing. wink grin

And we've had a cold snap so this week the whole winter prep starts. Wood for fires and hay for horses.

I have decided I really like peace and normal.
Posted By: Vanilla Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 04/14/18 02:43 AM
GG and Wonky Lamb!

My favourite duo. The nights I worried about Wonky Lamb making it through. Not surprised he believes he is a dog, because he knows he is one. Just not a lap dog.

Sweet lovely GG, how I wished we could have met IRL. I can never tell you enough how important you were in keeping my sanity and having thread parties back in the day.

Those awful days of dealing with abuse when it seemed invisible, funny how it's easier to spot these days especially in others who bully and manipulate.

I wish you every sunshine and joy that life can bring plus a working insemination kit. I am so pleased that life is restful.

Are you with bf, and how are you coping with WH, is it all finished?

I do hope so, unlike mine which haunts me like a ghost in the back garden.

I just want freedom and for the G to go away preferably to Antarctica, meet a lovely walrus and just go. Unsure if he still with the BIT, who knows? He seems to bad penny frequently. It is as it is.

I suspect from time to time these glitter balls of doom will cross our paths. Such is the land of Meh and Neh.

S seems to becoming grown up. That must be pleasing after his previous unexpected behaviour issues.

Know you have an extra special place in my heart.

Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 04/17/18 05:03 PM
The wonky lamb and his mate went out with 400 mates in the big paddocks.
Seemly she had become lost or absorbed into the mob, so when the sheep left I was left with a lone sheep. Wonky lamb. Soon he will have a new bunch of sheep as mates but now while we wait he got no mates hence he's making us the humans and the dog s his family.

The bf is around he's found a few but as is the way around here they dry up. No way he has 2 part time jobs which Mean he's got some stable income for now. And decent hours so he can start making plans,

It's almost winter and it very dry so hay and wood for fires is now the focus at home.
I've got some projects to start and it bugs me sometimes how hard it is. Never having the right tools, but it happens Evuntally.

S has still been not so great to have about. So I have been ramping up the boundaries. He's telling people how I hate him and have cut him off, which is certainly not the case.
He's decided to sing from the victim sheet. Mainly Becasue last time he wanted me to drop everything and write him a resume. He has a job but wants something else.

I refused to take time off from my job or stay up late to write him one or find a job. He's now not sleaking to me, although that doesn't extend to coming to the house to take things, mostly his own things but stil notice and mentioning it would be a bit more polite.


Know I also now quite by accident that the most likely reason the xh2 pick the ow, is she almost earns twice what I do. A stupid job add on fb passed by my news feed with her as the contact giving a price for the salary. Given she's the top of the tree, I'm guessing she earns a bit more but even still. It would be almost double.

The d stuff was done a while ago, but like I said he keeps claiming what I did in my life was him. I get somthings are joint but yeah good luck, trying to be me.
I might be the person you thought I should have been, but I'm not the useless waste. Of space you abused me for being.

And I had to use a slew jacket this week, a had a lady Rock up to work to abuse me over something she some how imagined I said.. right.
She was angry and using word salad she tryed to tell me I was embarised and cowardly.
I just stood there completely unaffected, feeling bad for her. Shouting out where anyone could hear making a fool of her self. The boss came down and moved her along.

I will be interested to See how long before she comes back around pretending it didn't happen. There was a time which seems so long ago I would have told her some home truths, I would have put her in her place well and truely. Most people would call that standing up for ones self. My view of standing up is different now, I just stated what I said, I didn't engage in her projection. Then the boss moved her along.

I felt powerful, and it didn't matter what she thought go figure,
Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 05/03/18 11:44 PM


AD the narc that gave me spray over something she made up come around work and was hiding behind another person, she almost jumped out saying "hello" being all sweetness and light. sick sick

I almost had to choke back the snark who wanted to make vomiting noises, or a smart arse comment! grin

I did just let it slide, not worth the drama. Like really how childish...

So now it's been suggested the fact bf and me don't fight or argue is a drama, my take is neither of us can be bothered.

It's not that we don't disagree but there seems to be no need to fight over that meaningless crap we both had before. I guess the whole statement of it's not how much or the sorts of conflict but how they are handled that does make all the difference.

I tend to state things and then let it go... I get my releases and I think in a non threatening way...

crazy like it never happened. Stupid woman. She will know I want nil more to do with her. Just not yet, on my terms.

She will know, and who cares.... I won't be treated like a whipping boy to be
Abused Over nothing.

So these days I see people freaking and coming up with things to make their life hard, like catastrophising! All that worry, the narc taught me the lessson well. Who cares?

Detach detach detach but be loving and honest which narcs don't. It sets us apart.

Posted By: Ggrass Re: Maybe Things are settling? - 10/03/18 08:59 AM
So I haven't been a round in quite a while.

Bf had some family drama and his mum whom was quite sick and she passed away. He is still on the struggle to find real work treadmill. Not totally uncommon where we live. We had some house drama like vanilla but the wind damadged my house. Aka we had the roof blow off, however after waiting for Bulider's for 3 years to come and repair I now have one new section of roof in less than a week.

Son has now moved in with a girl and 7 of his mates, what could possibly go wrong with that house share!
He hasn't told me per sa but we have spoken once he has not introduced the girl to anyone but his father. I think he's still holding some sort of bad blood although when I see him or bump into him it's like things aren't any different and we get along fine.

It's almost spring and the big dry is making things tough, today we are getting a shower of rain so let's hope this is the start of proper rain for us. Lots o farms are De stocked and are going broke from feeding anys tock they do have.

And on the xh front news pops up from time to time, but things dont look so nice and rosy, tbh I don't care and feel sorry for the ow, they are living apart 3-4 days per week. His nasty auntie who supposedly approved of the ow and never of me passed away. On that score I was a little too joyful. I felt bad almost celebrating she wasn't as old as I thought, and justified it as karma. Ok so on that score i was a bit too human.

Live just goes along like life does.
Have had a winter a bit like vanilla and had small bug after small whole make up thing took a back seat running eyes and sniffing nose is a bit hard to keep any in place.

It's funny how folks who's walked this walk before forget if it's been a long time, a mate just had new newish bf caught out cheating, but the signs were there from early on. He refused to cohabit ever, had some strange rules and seemed to have just been treating her as second choice. It didn't suprised me when he was caught, however she is getting older and fell hard for this dude. Seems to want second chances when she should be running like mad.

Al, this makes me realise how far I've come, and tbh if anyone did that to me and got caught I'd nowadays be running flat chat.

Although I still struggle a bit giving people a bit much rope with which to hang them self.
