Oh, I’m alive. We’re in Lyme Regis now. It’s raining and I have a six-year-old child here I have no idea how to entertain, so I’m letting Alex take care of that and observing. They’re downstairs right now playing. I think we’re going to Dinosaurland in just under an hour. Terrible night of sleep -- I was up in the middle of the night (maybe 2am? I checked in here then) when Alex’s daughter came in crying, afraid of something she’d dreamed of or seen or something. So she got into bed with us, but I couldn’t deal with her thrashing about so I slept in the other bedroom.

What follows is a lightly edited copy/paste of an email I sent to a friend back in California yesterday night about the wedding. I apologize for the length -- it was easier to keep it longish than to spend time cutting it down or writing something new. Sorry for it being so long.

 

I have to jump in the shower and get moving. As I said, sorry for the length, just easier/faster than writing something new -- I just edited a little for clarity here and there (not that it’s very clear to begin with!!!). I am just glad to have that part behind me and to get to spend time with Alex and his daughter.

Lol, my sister always said I had a terminal case of Soap Opera Syndrome! Things are much quieter now, Alex's little girl loved the dinosaurs/fossils (I was a bit put off by the taxidermy), and the sun is supposed to come out for a bit tomorrow. The weather kind of changed some of our plans, so we're rolling with it and doing stuff indoors back at the cottage. Just looking forward to a relaxing evening of NOTHING here after we put "little Al" to bed soon. Kids are... exhausting. I don't know how any of you do this/have done this.

Sister appears right from your postings here.

Al's sister? She's up in Scotland. I won't be seeing her until later this week. 

 

Oh wait, (strawberry) blonde moment, you mean MY sister.  Yeah, maybe.

Anyway, I just got into an “eff it” frame of mind (champagne induced) and walked over to my ex, who by this point was making out with Amanda. For reasons I will not go into, I told him that that was disgusting, given that he’d told someone else he cared only for her.

Do you always make it your business to interfere with the affairs of your ex? I do wonder if you are truly over this man.

They were calling each other [the MOST not family friendly words] -- this is an argument that is not really about me, I mean, I have something to do with it, but their frenemies thing WAAAAAAAAAAY predates me. Alex slapped my ex’s face

I'm not sure what raises more red flags with me. The fact that this man you're about to marry is so easily persuaded to violence, or that he slaps when he fights. Does he use his nails and pull hair too? In any case, consider that if he has such a short fuse in a public situation, what might he be like when the two of you are alone and you just happen to light that fuse?

I agree. I for one would love to see this slap-happy brute who tenses up like a cat.

It is 1:30 a.m. and I am not in the mood to defend Alex's honor or actions. You do NOT know the shared history between these two men. And Al was pushed into it -- my ex said to his face that I was probably cheating on him, which is NOT true and is part of this ongoing fantasy he has that I was unfaithful. (which I was not.) Should he have shoved Jules? No. I admit that. But they were drinking, everyone was drinking, and my ex was (and I left this detail out before) saying something along the lines of, why don't you just do it? You can't control yourself, you never could, you can't control anything, you can't even control your sister and you can't control your woman. Did you know she and I have been corresponding again? (This is true.) It was very insulting and I think the thing about his sister made him lose it.

 

He has never, ever, ever made me feel in danger in his presence. He does have a short fuse, I know this. But with me? No. We've known each other 14 years and I'm the one to calm him down. 

[Boris Farage 353]

If your letter is accurate @laylalex, your ex said something you might take heed of. "I’m not controlling, I’m in control of myself."

 

Clearly your fiance is not in control of himself. You said yourself, in so many words, he was spoiling for a fight. Your ex may have been acting contrary to how you would have preferred he behave, but again, if your narrative is correct, it wasn't your ex who started swinging. And yet you continue to defend this boorish man who has no control over himself, at a wedding no less, and was spoiling for a fight. Once again, what happens when you are the one to incur his wrath?

 

You keep saying I don't know the history, but maybe that's a good thing. Somebody with fresh eyes to see what you've got yourself into. I think you have gotten yourself into a very dangerous situation.

So what about my ex, taunting him? He gets a pass? Why didn't he just walk away instead of PUNCHING Al in the face? None of our friends think Alex is dangerous. Not a one. If they did, they wouldn't let me be with him. 

 

And I am not hung up on my ex. He keeps inserting himself into my life. Also, as for your comment that maybe I shouldn't be having this much wine when Alex isn't around to "monitor" me (whatever) is TOTALLY out of line.

A man worth being called a man doesn't rise to the bait. He keeps himself composed, especially in a social situation. ESPECIALLY at a wedding for Christ's sake. The fact that you're glorifying his violence simply enables him.

 

If I understand correctly, your ex did not "insert" himself into your life. He attended the same wedding you attended. And if your account is accurate, it was you who inserted yourself into his life to berate him his choice of companion.

Er... you might be proving my point. That was in my last email, not this comment thread.

It wasn't his finest hour, we know. There was always a risk, even if everyone was sober. The bride and groom welcomed it for their own amusement. My ex is a very skilled "wind up merchant" and can get under people's skin very easily, and Alex is very protective of the people he loves, particularly the women. He can be a little old fashioned that way for a woke feminist like him. 😛

 

It happened. We're moving on. The rain has stopped for the time being, the sun might come out this afternoon, and we're heading off to the aquarium soon followed by poking about on the beach. It must be the middle of the night there, so sleep well. 😊

Protective is a good trait when the woman actually needs protective. Starting a fight--AT A WEDDING NEED I REMIND YOU--because of words is boorish, simple, and indicative of a very dangerous personality. It also sounds like he may have a drinking problem.

That's just your uninformed opinion. And yes, I did need protecting after having my faithfulness attacked. 

 

I thought you were nice, Boris. ☹️
