Classic WS babble: DON'T TOUCH MY STUFF!

Being the 'obedient W that I am'.....Hm.... I had to touch his clothes to wash them....so I stopped. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Then I touched them for 1 last time, didn't know if there were 'cooties' from the A on them so I took his clothes and threw them on the front porch and lawn. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Oh yea....that was from the false recovery time.

My personal favorites;

- "We are just co-workers nothing is going on why are you being so jealous". - After looking at all the after hour phone calls on her cell phone bill and even though they spent 8-10 hours a day together at work.

- "I never wanted a divorce and I never imagined you not being in my future, I just never thought we would ever get caught" - Even though she told me for 3 months the ILYBINILWY speech and the "I want a divorce its over"

- "Your jealously of him is pushing me away from you" -I guess the fact that they were "bumping uglies" was my fault, too.

- "I cant handle your mood swings, one minute your loving and the next minute your jealous of him" - That comes with the territory.

- "We have been together for 16 years and I dont even know you" - That one still baffles me. I guess she felt she knew him more after all the 2 hour bed-time phone calls.

- "Well, you can call it an affair if you must, I just call it a thing (something that just happened)". - LOL

- "I am so in love with you and want to spend the rest of my life with you" - The day after d-day and one month before I left to come to Iraq to make well into 6 digits.

This has all been a bottomless pit of craziness.

BTW excellent topic I definitely see a common thread.

Let's see...

"Why can't I have a W and an GF?"

"Well, at least I don't beat you."

What a consolation prize I had there....

When I contacted the OM(the single most stupid thing I did post D-day) and asked him to leave my wife alone so that we could work on our M

She pouted " I thought you had more class than that"

Kids really like OM and will be happy to live with "us"

BigK,

That one had to cut deep.

Let me think........

1. My exWS turned to me on a Sat. morning before he headed out to work and said "I've rented a house and I'm moving out. I love you, but I'm not in love with you"...blah, blah, blah. I had absolutely no idea things were that bad.

(I also had no idea he knew how to go about renting a house! Seriously, his first ex-wife and I had always been the ones to handle finances and household responsibilities! He didn't know how to write a check.)

Me: "Are you moving a woman in with you?"

Him: "No, she's just a friend from my AA/NA meetings that needs a roof over her head." (I guess technically she wasn't a "woman". My exWS was 47 and the "OW" was 21!)

Me: Sitting on the bed crying, speechless.

Him: "Well I have to get to work now. Can I have a hug and a kiss?"

Me: "No!"

WS: "Well why not????"

WS: "Well I went to drop her off at a hotel room because she had no place to stay for the weekend. Her housemate was having family over. I should have just left. But, I went back to her room and she was naked. She came on to me, but I couldn't get it @^. As I drove home I thought "Thank goodness I couldn't perform. It was my body's way of giving me a warning that what I was about to do was wrong! (That didn't stop him from going back to prove his body wrong!!)
___________

Before I had confirmed the affair but strongly suspected it:

I got a call from my OB/GYN at home one night. She said my routine pap showed I had a treatable STD, but my spouse would also need to take meds for it to not spread it back to me. I asked her if it was sexually transmitted? She said it most often was. She asked if I wanted to tell my husband or did I want her to. I asked her to and handed the phone to my exWS. He spoke calmly to her and hung up the phone. I said "So, what do you think about what she had to say....about this STD?"

ExWS's response: "Do you have something you need to tell me?"

___________________

WS: "Yes we used condoms!!!.......sometimes." (OW was 7 months pregnant with exWS's child when I confirmed the affair)
______________________

My exWS loved his motorcycle and guitars. I moved them out the Sat. I found out he was moving out, after he left for work. I was holding them "hostage" until I made sure he was going to come up with money to help foot OUR ongoing household expenses. My best friend and her boyfriend helped me move the motorcycle. He had a truck with ramps. We covered it up, padded it really well to store it.

When my WS found out that the bike wasn't there he was irrate!

WS: "I can't believe you'd do something like that! And as for ________'s boyfriend helping you move it. I can't believe a man would do that to another man! That would be like touching his wife!"

Whaaaaaatttttt????

Actually I totally laughed in her face and when she reported to the Kids that they could move in with her and OM when they got their own place she was shocked when they said "Thanks but we want to live with Dad"

And that was the beginning of the end of the affair. The fog started to clear at that moment.

Couldn't resist a link to a classic thread about fogese.

And some real doozies on the dumbest answer thread.

One of the best I still laugh about...when I was in my affair, I travelled to city A to visit my momfor a week, but also to see ex-OM...8 months later when H was in his affair, he asked to go see his brother in city B where exOW lived.

Me: Are you going to see her and not your brother?

Him: that's an unfair question...that would be as unfair as asking you if you were going to CityA last year to see OM.

Me: In hindsight, don't you think that would have been a VERY fair question at the time?

Him: Stomps off

Oh dear. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I said "I didn't think you'd mind."

My wife when asked what she had thought I'd do when I discovered her affair said "I didn't think you'd care"

Almost the same as you Jen.

Yes, and it's very sad that we think that. Why on earth would we think that?

Edited to add that sounded like sarcasm or a justification. I mean it sincerely. What goes wrong in our brains?

sound the foghorn Jen!LOL

Oh, I had to edit the whole thing. I just got what you meant.

LOL I wasn't slapping you. LOL It's just fog talk when a WS says that stuff is all. LOL You getting paranoid now?

Yep, totally paranoid.

I got what you meant. I thought you meant I was foggy NOW.

No way, Jose.

How about, after lying, having an affair with a crazy woman, breaking promises to end his pornography addiction, lying during a false recovery, and then leaving the family home two weeks before his son's high school graduation, looking me in the eye and saying:

"I don't see that I've done anything wrong."
