I am quite new here, but learning quickly. I had to post this little gem from WH:

Why can't you see this from her point of view?

<img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I tried and tried and tried, but I really couldn't muster any true empathy for OW. And I tried and tried and tried, but I couldn't help laughing when he said this!

Why? Because of the fog.

Gotta learn to return fog with foggier..... makes their head spin but who cares? It is already spiraling downwards as long as they are deep in the A.

Take that sarcasm with a grain of salt. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Here's another couple:

She says you're the one who is being selfish here - and I agree with her.

She's not a bad person, if you knew you'd like her.

My WH is a smart person - why is he being so utterly DUMB?????

"She's not a bad person, if you knew you'd like her."

My W said this about Rat Meat last year.

I wish I had said my response, which I posted on here the next day: "I don't care if he's the spittin' image of Jesus on the cross!!!" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

Maybe I will one of these days!

Ok I'll play too. My FWS ( God bless his soul he's a wonderful H now!) said I think you two could be good friends, you are a lot alike. BLECH! YUK! NOT!

It's so strange how these types of fog comments can make you laugh one minute, and feel so sad the next.

Guess who can be more in a fog than a WS? A mother-in-law! Two things she has recently said to me:
"You know you are lucky....he (my H) attends the kids baseball games. HIS father never did because he was always running around."

Does that mean my H gets a @#$% gold star because he can do both!!

Another one from the MIL just the other nite after I caught her son (H) at the OW's apartment and I was coming unglued:
"Can I call you back, American Idol is on."

How about:
"Poor OW, her husband hit her and made her bleed"

So, I guess it's only the physical wounds that hurt; the emotional wounds, scars, torment inflicted on your family don't really count? Gee, you're such a great guy coming to her rescue like that! And isn't OW's H such a [censored]!

How about what the OW said to me when I confronted her on the phone about what she was doing to my marriage....

First in response to her meeting, spending the night with and playing house with wh and and wh's and My kids... I told her it was not right to have the kids in this situation and that they were damaging the kids....

OW said- "I had to leave it to his judgement" "he knows best"

Also when I talked to ow about getting out of the situation with my h---

she said something like ... "time well tell if our love will last... "- I was standing in my kitchen.... and almost thought I would fall over.. both of these comments were within a couple of weeks after wh left and around 2 wks after D day, and the A had been going on maybe 6 wks.

WH says things like:

I was never happy in our marriage.
You (me, bs) have always been violent.

The really big whopper:
I told you a year before I left I was going to lose weight, get a better job, find an ow and leave you. ??????? He swears this is true, STILL. I never heard him..... maybe I did and just thought it was ridiculous since we were continuing to have so many happy times....?

I can go on and on... UGH>

My personal favorite was on d-day when I was FURIOUS I told my H OW would lose EVERYTHING she held dear, I would see to it. He looked at me and said, "I am begging you...please don't hurt her, she's been thru so much and her ex-H threw her out of their house with no where to go" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> BOOOO HOOO! LOL When I told him I would immediately get tested for std's he looked at me and said "she's NOT like that..." <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" /> Then later found out..Uhh..she IS EXACTLY LIKE THAT!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

But...alls well that ends well, right?

" im not leaving the kids im leaving you"
even my 10 year old daughter said, but mom he is leaving us!
ow says what happens between you and him should not affect them!! how stupid to think they wouldnt be affected by there world falling apart
when hes mad its i dont love you, i dont want you anymore!
when he calms down its just remember ill always love you, your still my best friend ill always want you in my life, isnt that marriage? thats what i always thought marriage was !
