I met someone who knows BM
I was at work and a lady came in to see me for an appointment. We got to talking about people we both knew and where we lived. She mentioned that her son was going through an awful divorce but luckily had no kids. I told her I sympathized because of the drama we've had from BM. I noticed that she used to work for the person who BF has had business insurance with for 8 years. It's a small world, so I asked her if she knew BF. She said, "Yes! I know him well! He was married to (BM's name). Oh honey I am so sorry!" She asked about how things were going lately and I told her what's been going on. She said she's known BM since BM was a little girl and she's so ashamed of her. We talked about how BM hasn't had a job in 10 months. The lady said she knew something must be up because BM cancelled her insurance policy on her car. Hmm...interesting. BM is purchasing a new car from a dealership. When they find out she doesn't have insurance on it anymore, they can take the car away from her.
I just thought it was interesting to meet someone who knew BF and BM outside of the situation who wasn't family, and to see that they sympathized and understood how crazy BM is.

They usually do
It's hard to hide stupidity and ignorance. Ours was the same way.
Step Mother's Motto this week is:
You don't have to LOVE me, you don't even have to LIKE me... But you will RESPECT me.
it is a small world
yes over the years we have had people tell us stuff about this woman who was fighting with her boyfriend in the early hours of morning at a pub and so on, only to find out it's the bm..... makes you laugh . and then shake your head hey?
It is a small world
This is not entirely related to my current marriage or to my role as SF to my 16yo SS, but...............
I have been divorced from the first Mrs Rags (thank God there were no children with that woman) for almost 19yrs. About once a year a friend or acquaintance runs in to her or brings her up in conversation. I do not even think of her unless someone else brings her up.
It is amazing how people who make a negative impression seem to do so for eternity. During the divorce I had little information to go on. After ~2.5 years she left me for a much older man who was also a Fortune 500 executive.
Over the years the XW would dish to others about the things that she had done while we were married. Many things that were a bit confusing during the divorce became clear over the years when I would get calls from someone who had run in to the XW.
My Lovely Bride (my soul mate the current and final Mrs Rags)gets similar calls from friends about the SpermDonor. They were never married but the community she grew up in is small and she gets regular calls about the ToothlessSpermDonor's current idiot moves quite frequently. She has not lived in that state for 15yrs but it seems that many in that community find it beyond temptation to report to my wife on what my SS's SpermDonor is up to. Some of the information certainly comes in handy when SpermDad tries to weasel out of an obligation to my SS by attempting to change the judgement. But, it is a double edges sword. We don't ask but many seemingly have to tell.
Best regards,
