Just curious to know what WS have said about their BS, and also if these lies have ever been retracted and overcome.

My WH is telling all and sundry:

* I never loved him

*I am a skilled manipulator (if only that was true!!!! OW is leaving me for dead!)

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

*It is still my fault that the marriage broke up - sure he put the final nail in the coffin, but how else could he escape. ... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Is it normal for a WS to be putting up such a vicious smoke screen? It seems as if he is really in the thick of the fog. How much longer before the fog clears, or will it ever clear? 10 weeks of Plan B now - I may be an old lady by the time that happens!

oooo CLAIRE,
where to begin?
gosh there are so many.
hmmmm.....


I hate his children

I am mentally unstable

I trapped him into marriage

It wasn't his baby, anyway (while i was preg 2 yrs ago)(Looks just like him and other children, now the apple of his eye)

I could not be trusted

I am lazy

I am only in this for the money

I am mean

I lie

the list continues
on and on and on and on.......

Retracted? Well, recentely, he has been making lotsa deposits in the love bank, desputing lots of the "lies". Aplogize? No, not yet.

That we were "just friends" who sometimes had casual sex, I got pregnant so he "had" to marry me. But since he never loved me, it didn't work out and we were divorced. Since I WAS already pregnant when we got married, there's just enough of a grain of truth to eat at me and wonder if that's how he still sees it in retrospect. It really hurts because he was overseas at the time and told everyone this while I was faithfully and patiently at home, taking care of everything for him, and sending him whatever he needed.

Yeah, mine told the OW that I had filed for divorce and then found out I was pregnant so we put the divorce on "hold." I guess OW wasn't too bright because I would have been asking him, "If y'all were getting a divorce, why did you get her pregnant?"

I came from a wealthy family (I guess this was suppose to make OW feel better about us getting our pseudo divorce). [Not true]

He didn't want his kids to grow up in day care so he still kept in touch w/me and supported me. [My H was working out of the home office 4 1/2 hours away from our home at the time so it looked like we did live apart.]

When he did come home it was just to see the kids.

Meanwhile, I too, was keeping up the homefront being the dutiful wife with a 2 year old and newborn and NO MONEY! I was stuck in the house and couldn't even take my kids to Cici's Pizza if I wanted. I was being supportive of him working out of town because in the end it was suppose to be worth it (more money and we would end up moving there, etc.). Never knowing all the long nights were not spent working....

Ex-H's worse lie about me ...

That I am responsible for him fathering one of his two OC's because I would not talk to him, so he was forced <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" /> to talk to OW and subsequently boink'd her which resulted in a baby (OC).

I know, I know, pretty absurd.

When I divorced 17 years ago from my high school sweetheart he told everyone that I was working as a prostitute. He was trying to get custody of our daughter.

I was out late because I was in college classes about an hour away and got home at 10:30
Daughter was at grandmothers house and It was only 2 nights a week. LOL

Hmmm, txblondmom. That one's truly vicious. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

I am starting to realise that they will say ANYTHING that comes into their brains. No matter how absurd.

I've got a good one <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> My EX while he was in his fog with OW told her I gave him a brain tumor because I hit him over the head with a frying pan. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> Even though that was 4 years ago I can't help but laugh everytime i think about it. I am 5'0 and weigh about 120 lbs. He was 6'1 and weighed about 225 at the time. The funny thing is she believed it.
What the fog won't do to a person.
