I hear from ds about how much Wifestress loves fashion.

OMG I had to close the door so quickly this afternoon when the ex picked up ds. I almost burst out laughing.

Here was the ex who is early 40's, who has suddenly become about 50 kg (around 100 pounds for those playing at home) over weight, with a t-shirt on that was too short and his gut was hanging out the bottom. A pair of old shorts and these new roman sandle type slip on shoes. With his hair cut way too short that you could see his receding hair line and his bald patch shining at the back as well.

Omg I nearly lost it in a fit of giggles.

Well played OW you won.

Me: BW

Best thing I gained in my divorce - my freedom.

Life's good.

Isn't the saying ..."and your MOTHER dresses you funny." ?

Guess OW plays that roll.

Btw, its not a good sign for X to be fashion slave or clone of OW making: it just shows he is well and truly under her thumb.

Shame, poor X. Not!! Got what you deserved though.

The kids say Owife picks out his clothes for the day.

At one kid exchange, he was wearing a cowboy hat. Nothing against cowboy hats, it's just that in his case it is not authentic and looks absolutely ridiculous. He's never worn a cowboy hat ever before. 100% dumbass look.

It should also be said that horizontal stripes are not his friend, especially at his 50 pound weight gain.

make the Ex look fashionable

Calvin Klein himself couldn't make my ex look fashionable

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

My WH#2 started letting himself go a few days without shaving while he was with the OW. I guess she told him the shadow made him look sexy or something. He also started to shave places that he hadn't shaved before (sorry for the TMI ) Anyway I complained about the shadow look and the other shavings and told him that young guys looked sexy with a shadow, old men like him with the gray hairs only made him look like an old homeless wino.

This is too funny!

I can always tell when DD's dad is dating someone new because 2 things happen:

1) He suddenly stops wearing all of his jerseys and basketball shorts, and starts wearing jeans at drop-offs and pick-ups.

2) Our 4 year old is old enough to talk to me, and not old enough to keep a secret. She rats him out everytime.

It's okay, his "relationships" never last very long.

Most recently, I went to pick up DD, and x was wearing kakhi pants (I have never seen him in ANYTHING that was not denim or basketball shorts unless it was for work) and a tight fitting polo, which is also ridiculous for him. Finally, he was wearing reading glasses! X doesn't wear glasses!

He looked so dumb, I couldn't even believe it.

I have been cheated on by 3 different men, and I have more DDays than anyone ever should. I am here, just trying to pickup the pieces.

I'm still waiting for Tesla's ex to walk in wearing an outfit to match Teslet, what was it, velour pants?

I'm laughing out loud here!! Oh they make it so damn easy to make fun of them:)

I bet you I could pin every single one of ex's affair trips to when he'd ask me to buy him his box of Just for men hair color! Lol. I didn't realize he took the commercial literally about "getting back into the game."!

So every time I actually do see him now...side vision; will not actually look, but if I don't see Pauly Walnut (Sorprano's

Silver side hair, and it's a strange brown; game time!

I barely see him and avoid looking at him when I have to but my peripheral vision has been assaulted a few times and I had to suppress snorting laughter.

OWUmpteen is 24 so the sad clown has started dressing like some kind of rock punk guy (he looks a decade older than his 40 years). I am expecting him to dye his hair next. That look doesn't work when you're wrinkled, balding and skinny-fat. No amount of drug-taking induced skinny gets rid of a beer gut.

I tend to dress down when I have to see him. I STILL feel his eyes boring in to me and it makes my skin crawl.

I may have reached a point where I'd piss on him if he was on fire.... eventually!!

I apologize if anyone remembers this story, but it is still funny to me. Ex did dye his hair.... WHITE. I likened it to Billy Idol. It aged him like he had white/gray hair. And spray tan?

But the kicker was DS didn't recognize him in the driveway. Went out all bouncy normal when he saw dad's car. Stopped and called the dog back and SHUT the door. Asked me who the stranger was. Didn't believe me when I told him it was his dad!!

I manage to get hugs and kisses done and shut the door and collapsed to the floor in giggles.

Ugghhhhh! I just posted about this. It is so weird what pod-people they become to fit into a mold they feel they must adhere to in order to be attractive for the ________.

I believe Joan Rivers would call one doing this a "Fash-hole".

Under OW's tutelage, XH grew this disgusting beard. It didn't make him look like a hipster (which is what OW fancies herself to be, but won't EVER be). Instead, he looks like a pathetic middle-aged man who thinks he's Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top).

Last time I saw XH, I couldn't even look at him. WTF happened to the handsome guy I knew?!?

my X currently looks like a cross between Charlie sheen and a middle age surf bum.

Wait...that's what he is.

Apparently Daffy asked his COW/GF/nowXGF or his BFF (male) to go on a shopping trip with him. I never cared about what he wore, and left to his own devices it was always the same cut of Levi's since 1994 and T-shirts (pit stained and ripped optional) or polo shirts with tennis shoes or brown Hush Puppies. He showed up at my door last fall in his new saggy-ass Express jeans, bowling-style shoes and a black leather jacket that I can't describe without using the word "asshole." And then he asked me if I thought he looked okay!

Why would anyone give his XBW that kind of opening?! Oh, right, because I'm civil and he reads that as I'm still his BFF2. For the record, I did not give him my actual opinion; instead, I used the "if you can't say anything nice, then change the subject as quickly as possible and shut the door and laugh your ass off."
