How did your ex embarrass themselves after divorce?

Petty answers only.
Apparently mine got hideous glasses frames inspired by his very European boss at work (the kids were in hysterics at dropoff and fighting over who got to tell me about it first) and he started wearing pants that don’t fit. I think he’s a few months away from a Jeff Bezos-esque style transformation. |

Spent 2.5 years during divorce process telling anyone who would listen that I was bats**t crazy and that police said I should be committed (after I called the cops on him).
Forced me to agree to a full psych eval with a doctor of his choosing… Doc ending up being MY witness at divorce trial. +1 oh and judge granted me legal custody of our kids. |

That isn’t petty or embarrassing but I’ll take it because I like the ending. |

| Going public with loser AP, then breaking up with AP because AP was still married. Then getting back with loser AP. |

This was during mediation. But ex wanted compensation for gas and his time picking up the kids after school.
My lawyer was fabulous-- stopped and made him repeat it. You could see his lawyer cringing. |

| Got dumped by his AP right after the divorce. She found a richer guy. |

Four engagements in three years and a second marriage that lasted less than a year.
He really wanted to prove he was desirable. |

That seems like an exhausting way to not actually prove a point. I wonder if the financees knew about the previous fiancées. |

Oh dear. Was the store out of Von Dutch hats? Please say this was 2003 and not last week. |

Forced his affair partner to have an open relationship so he can play the field after his long marriage. And by "playing the field" I mean crudely propositioning the mom of a kid's friend in a harassing way.
Bought a really hilarious denim jacket with a corduroy collar. You're nearly 50, sir. Made the affair really obvious but when our teenager asked him if he was with the affair partner he said, "No, but I might be in a year. But don't tell Mama." Then a year later he announced he was "dating someone" and our teenager said, "Yeah, [affair partner]" and he said, "How did you know???" Related this story to me (well not the beginning part) as proof that the kids "took it well." Thinks we are friends. Can't tell that I am gray rocking him. Texts me all the time. Called me crying when the divorce was final. I planned a solo getaway and didn't give him any details. I said to the kids, "I didn't tell your dad where I'm going because we're divorced, but if you mentioned it to him that's OK because I don't have any secrets." Teenager said, "Yeah, he asked us four times where you're going. He doesn't believe you're going by yourself." He pretended he didn't know where I was going the next time we talked. I said, "I know you know where I'm going. You asked our child 4 times." He made a high-pitched giggling sound. Sent my relatives a pity-party email about how much he missed them this Christmas. Vaguely referred to "his part in the end of the marriage." Seemed to believe they would be moved by his overture. They rolled their eyes. My mother never replied. Really the greatest embarrassment is that he has lost the respect of his children. My 13 year old cried, "I thought we had a perfect life. I thought you guys were golden. I didn't know your dad could change and suddenly become terrible. I didn't know he was like this [a self-absorbed alcoholic with the attention span of a beetle who can't stock food in his house]." |

There’s a lot of bad stuff in here, PP, but I’m stuck on the denim jacket. Very Jake Gyllenhall in his Taylor Swift era.
My STBX also doesn’t keep food in his house, btw. He’ll buy one weird snack from Trader Joe’s and throw a fit if the kids aren’t excited about it. He also seizes on random things as proof that the kids are fine. Sir, they are not fine and your snacks and clothing are the least of it. |

That's major projection right there. What do you think is his diagnosis? |
