Classic from the tart (aka: OW):

When told what she was doing was wrong, she replied,

"But it FELT good."

I told her so do drugs, but they still wreck lives.

OMG!!! It is amazing how all of our WS's souond alike! They say the same things! Wow!
I think the worst for me was when I talked to OW and she said "since you couldn't give him a daughter then I will." My WH and I had been trying to have a baby for 5 years....this last year while the affair was going on I was going to a fertility doc. Nice huh????

I was cheated on once long ago. Here is something he said that has some real entertainment value:

Me: Does she know about me?
H: No, I told her you took DS and left me beause you realized you are a lesbian.


(I LAUGHED that he said this because he got it from watching Ross on "Friends")

I got a good one, at least to me it is.


Me: I don't want "anything" from you just to make you feel good.

WW: I don't think we should do anything (affection or SF), it wouldn't be fair because I don't know what I want.

How is she supposed to figure out if she only samples one flavor!!!

Idiocy

Remembered a couple more more, they are probably repeats.

About A: We tried to break it off several times but it was just too hard.

We never meant to hurt you.

Y'know it wasn't all easy for him either (OM), I treated him like crap too.

Whenever I hear the fog now, I see it a mile away. I used to take this crap at face value. Thank God I know now that it is like a disease. Literally, if someone had an antidote the bottle would read: For relief of rambling, incoherent nonsense take two tablets and step away from the spaceship.

Bear,

You reminded me of another classic:

"I thought you'd be mad that I betrayed you. But I didn't think you'd be hurt this badly."

I got some too with a bit of my added sarcasm :-)

Me - "Its over between me and you."
Her - "Its been over for the last year." (oh someone forgot to inform me of this?)

Me - "Are you still seeing the guy?"
Her - "I'm not leaving you for him?" (huh?)

Her - "This just speeds things up a bit, it would have happened in a year anyways..."

Her - (in reference to contact with our children) "He's agreed to all your wishes..." (what a stand up guy - except for sleeping with my wife!)

Her - "I'm only here for the kids..."

Her - "It just happened." "I don't know why I did it" "I've been thinking about it for a while"

Her - "I think of you as a really good friend..." (boy I wish all my friends would treat me this good!)

Yes, the old standby.

I love and care for you, but not in that way, more like a brother (sister). (WOW would have hated growing up w/her. Brothers must have gone through hell the way she treats me)

“We are not having an affair. He’s like a brother to me.”

However, it’s interesting that OPs also spew these timeless words of wisdom. But is it fog or just butt-covering diversions?

Some doozys I got from OMM when I confronted him a few days after DDay2:

1. “I never thought it would go this far.” He’s talking about a 10 year PA that started just two days after they met for the first time.
2. “She pursued me relentlessly. I only wanted an intellectual friendship.”
3. “NO, NO, NO!” His response when I said I would get out of the way and he could have her if he loved her.
4. “She’s had other affairs, you know.” He’s lost count of his.
5. “I told your wife over and over I would never leave my wife for her.”
6. “I would appreciate it if you didn’t tell my wife. Who else knows?”
7. “I never saw her in Brussels.” Huh? I didn’t ask. But now I wonder.
8. “What do I tell her if she calls me?” This bon mot after I told him no contact was mandatory. Otherwise, I would expose to his wife, exW, older children and his bosses right on up the line. I had not yet read SAA or heard of MB but I must have been channeling 2OAK because I said, “What part of ‘no contact’ don’t you understand?”
9. “Thank you for being so civil.”

And then again, when he called me all angry after his wife and I talked (she found out through, I think, one of his other OWs or OWs’ BH) three months after DDay2:

1. “I haven’t contacted your wife, like we agreed. Why did you talk to my wife?” Um, liar. It turns out there was contact weeks after our little tête-à-tête.
2. “I was afraid to end it. She could damage my career.”
3. “If your wife contacts me again, my wife and I will file a sexual harassment suit.” Good, go right ahead. I will have every email you ever exchanged subpoenaed from company archives and your wife will be forced to testify about possible community property transfers. “Um, there is no need to do anything like that.”
4. “We didn’t have sex in Chicago. But we did in Washington DC.” OK, now this is getting redundant.
5. To his wife, “We didn’t have real intercourse until after Viagra came out.” I have never met her but she doesn't sound stupid.
6. “Don’t talk to my wife any more.” She called me to get the truth so she could counter some of his lies to her. When I said she called me just that morning, he let fly an explicative deleted and hung up.

What a maroon.

WH: Yes, I talked to the priest, but of course he said I should honor my vows and work on my marriage. What else would he say, he doesn't have any choice, he's a priest.

Me: So because he follows God's word and is encouraging you to do so too, his advice is worthless?

WH: Well, he can't say anything else.


me, to myself WTF??

"she probably thought I was only fourty". Reality: he thought he was 40 - She probably thought he was 60 but he was 50. She was 26.

"She asked me why a big important professor was interested in a lowly domestic worker like her? He then said "you can imagine the cr*p I told her"! (it's not what you do for a job, it's who you are as a person blah..) The real answer was: Coz you've 26, with big big t*ts, and you are interested in my wallet.

d-day:

"I felt sorry for her"

"I was curious"

"it was like an adventure"

"it was exciting"

"she was just something I was going to do when you weren't around" Well duh!

"I didn't think you would ever find out because that would have been too horrible to contemplate".

"We didn't want to keep it a secret from everyone else. We just wanted it secret from YOU." (You have to know our history to know just how utterly foggy that statement is. If you don't know our history, let me just say that I knew about the relationship with OM from the beginning. Not through snooping, but because WxP and I talked about it.)

After her saying we'd had a lot of fights, and then me asking what fights she meant: "Well, we've had a lot of fights in my head!" (I was bemused for days over that one.)

There were many more, but these are two classics.

And then there are the red-handed denials.

Me (at a phone booth at 5:30 in the morning. I've just told her that I've found an email in which she talks about the night they spent together - and the sex they had. I read it to her.)

Me: "Did you have sex with him?"

Her: "NO!"

My all-time favorite (upon asking OW why they were so stupid not to use a condom)
"I'm not the sort of person who will get an STD."

Fascinating, just fascinating.
Don't such sayings are a lot like these ones
"I didn't mean to kill him, your Honour, I just wanted to take his wallet but the idiot refused!"
"My client comes from a poor, deprived family, your Honour, it's not his fault he murdered those people."
"Smoking isn't bad for your health, my aunt XX smoked three packs a day and lived to be a 102!"
and other "beauties".

It seems people will go to great lengths to justify themselves.

Here are some recent ones for me.

Upon discovering 2 previous ONS and why she didn't come clean when all other he!! broke loose and I asked her to tell me if there was more.

"Those weren't A's they were just ONS"

Discussing one of the ONS.

"It didn't mean anything, he's just a friend"

Well, I better watch out for all friends, and strangers for that matter. Just great.
