She wants to be Carrie Bradshaw.

Except Carrie had a cushy job and could flit about with her married boyfriend and any other guy she felt like being with. Because she didn't have any kids or anything.

And she was ...less than celibate.

I swear, I never could stand women like that.

Anyway, the point is that she wants to be single and "rich" and all that nonsense.

I will not spend my life this way.

I had to get him to look up the word affair in the dictionary before he finally agreed that sleeping with a coworker while still married to me IS an affair.

This is EGG ZAK LEE why I often suggest calling the deed what it is ... ADULTERY.

I think "affair" is too wishy-washy.

WW: It's so frustrating. I can't find a job anywhere.

ME: Well, is there anything else you could send your resume out for besides being a schoolteacher? Could you work in an art gallery? What do you want to do?

WW: I want to write movies!

End scene.

Pepper Affair, Adultry, Cheating all amounts to the same thing, weak individuals who havent got the galls to commit to a marriage and control themselves. Marriage is good but also requires work no matter how good it is. The Waywards simply don't know what work is and are selfish self centred immoral weaklings.

Here's a classic. I got this from him about 2 years after I discovered his cheating. He was by this time, divorced from me and married to the ow/wistress wifey.

Like Dr. Harley says, affairs die within 2 years and it (affairage now) was in its' death throes already by then, and he wanted out apparently.

So the dweeb (my xwh)tried to ask me out when he pretended I had to come and pick up my son immediately (feigned an emergency) b/c I was basically in a plan B/D/permanent F-U plan.

Darth: None of this worked out like I wanted it to. I'm so sorry. Can I take you out to dinner tonight? It could be a date. I just never thought I'd make such a big mistake.

Me: DARTH YOU ARE MARRIED. I don't date married guys.

Darth: It's not like I'm REALLY MARRIED. I mean, I married her because she was pregnant. It wasn't like I wanted to or anything.

Me: Was there a gun to your head at the courthouse?

Darth: No. But I'm NOT REALLY MARRIED to her and don't feel married so going to dinner or dating you doesn't count. BUT I WAS MARRIED TO YOU, and that did count.

Me: YOU ARE ON CRACK!(Angry peachy turns and walks away from a dumbfounded Darth).

So, the question apparently for my nutso xwh, Darth is this, "When pray tell sir, DOES A MARRIAGE count to you and WHEN is that marriage valid?" dontknow

I think if we asked many waywards this very question, we'd get some hilarious answers. Kinda like "Jaywalking" on Jay Leno. We just get somebody to ask this to various waywards and see what they say! rotflmao

The idiocacy and lack of ability to think clear is the hallmark of the foggy. Geez I am so glad I don't have to see or hear from him anymore! I love plan F-U smile dance2

One of my favourites was we have a connection, I should have realised it was his genitals to hers.

One of his nastiest, and I don't think he remembers it it was so awful, the day after Dday 1 (5 yrs ago) he was going to see her and I was doing hte whole awful shaking and tears falling out of my eyes rather than sobbing stuff we all seem to do,

"what are you going to do.......sit there and shake?

now that was when the alien was resident. I have my DH back now, and better than that I know that I will be fine on my own if he ever contacts her again!

He wouldn't say something like that today.

"I MISS HIS CAR..."

That wasn't fog babble, that was tailpipe exhaust babble....

I guess the craziest one is when stopping the A came up during MC session. Me - 'I asked you to stop the A - twice!' Her response - 'I did, both times.' Huh?

My WH to a friend who asked him about our separation

F: so you and Atena are separated and you have a girlfriend ah?
WH: yes I am seeing someone
F: and where you seeing her while still living with Atena and your son?
WH: I started to see her when told Atena I wanted to separate, not before
F: Yes, but you were still married and living with her
WH: I told her I wanted to separate, this marriage has been over for years.

To a work collegue at lunch break after we separated (we are not divorced) and he never had the decency to call my mom. Never spoke to her since separation (2 years)
C: I heard Italian mother in laws can be difficult
WH: I get along perfectly with mine.
