Mine got mad at me calling OW his "girlfriend."

He very angrily informed me she was his FIANCEE.

Before we were divorced, I just said something about being engaged when he was ALREADY married.

After we were divorced, I would just inquire if SHE was divorced yet (she wasn't - still may not be for all I know!)

My WH's OW is shorter than me, by far, and has really long straight hair, and her stupid ears stick out through her hair. I call her his "Keebler Elf" (I get in trouble) and if I call her his girlfriend he goes on a rant about them just being friends....yeah yeah, tell it to the judge.

I just read through this whole post. My Thoughts:

Tree: I'm so sorry for your pain. I'm just starting the process here towards the Big D. There's no other options. I have no idea how WH will respond when I finally serve him with D papers. Probably will be angry. We have two kids and how he can do this to them is beyond me. I've know about his past A's for over 2 years, but didn't want to hurt my kids so kept trying to work it out. He never did anything and is now involved in another A. What an idiot.

Carin: thanks for the comic relief at the end. I needed a good laugh.

Worthatry: Your comments about beaming him up just cracked me up. I wish someone would beam up my WH!

This is all very interesting. What other words do your WSs get very upset about?

"Girlfriends" and "dating" really set mine off. They were NOT his girlfriends. They were "co-workers" or "people who I let get a little too close to me." And they were NOT "dating." It was "Teambuilding" or "an extension of the work day." That last one really makes MY head explode."

Also, he angrily shouted me down yesterday for daring to refer to his conference's after-hours activities as "social events." "THEY'RE NOT SOCIAL EVENTS! IT'S ALL WORK!" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

First of all we got into a conversation about God. He said I need to read the Bible. WHAT??? I aksed if he's read it...he said yes...well, did you read the part about marriage and infidelity???? I don't think so idiot!!!!!! He's ticks me off! He said he beieves in God but doesn't have faith. HUH???? He claims that him and OW are agnostic. He also admitted that he basically lives with her. GAG!!!!
He siad the court can't make him pay back child support.....HA! He's in for a BIG shock!!!!

Please, somebody tell me I'm in a bad dream and wake me up!!!!! I can't believe I'm married to this idiot!!!!!!!!!!! UUUUUGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!

LOL Tree.....how do you keep from laughing at him? Everything he says is so ridiculous it's funny.

And BTW if we have to be PC with our WS's then here ya go:

They are not adulterers they are the 'fidelity challenged'

The WS's aren't leaving you for an OP they're "Diversifying"

You can't call them cake eaters when they want you and their OP they are "Multi-tasking"

They aren't being selfish they are "benefits analysts"

LOL - I can't think of anymore, I'm too sleepy

Actually I did laugh in his face. I told him that I was glad I got to see him face to face because it made me realize that I'm better off without him. What a jerk!!!!
He said so much crap...I can't even go into anymore tonight....I'm getting a headache.

Trish, LOL

I have to give this to you. While I've paraphrased some of my own STBX''s conversations. I've never had the nerve to actually print her actual remarks.

PEP hit it hard and accurate. The part about the kids being hurt by DV happened to me just this morning too. The STBX was upset that DS was acting out. (he was) She says he will just have to learn how to behave, even though he is upset with the divorce. It is not her fault he has these terrible feelings and thoughts.

I wish Pep was here to slap some sense into my STBX everytime she spouts this stuff out.

purring for you Trish

Hey TJ!!!!
I don't know about you but I've about had enough of all this crazy garbage! I really don't know how much more I can take. When I saw him today he just looks so empty. He has no home, no family(me and son), no friends that support him. He's dropping fast!!!! He keeps telling me he's happy and at peace and that he doesn't have a negative bone in his body. Oh really!!!!!!!!!!!

WS say the stupidest things!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

purrrrrrrring for you too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Tree, he is the kuh-rayyyy-ziest sucka!

Despite what everybody else says about him being about to crack up, I have to say... some people live their whole lives this way, sadly.

Not to be a downer - but I thought you'd be okay with it, seeing as you want out.

I hate for you to have to hear it, but I must admit, I do look forward to hearing the latest jive that comes out of your WH's crazy brain.

Dear treereich's husband....

I wanted to tell you about the most amazing thing I bought today...
It's adorable...

It's all white and covered with these soft fluffy things......that are soft to the touch... even tickly....

It has this beautiful colored orange bill..soft round dark eyes....
lovely orange feet that it uses to swim gracefully in the tub with...

it looks like something familiar to me...
It waddles
It even Quacks....

I can't quite find the right words exactly to tell you exactly what it is...

I was thinking it is a...
Class Aves (birds)
Order Anseriformes (waterfowl)
Family Anatidae (ducks, geese, and swans)
Family Anhimidae


but when our wonderful son came home....

he said..

"hey mom...that's a DUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

out of the mouth of babes....dear hubby...out of the mouth of babes....

also I heard the most amazing thought provoking sentiment today....

something like...

"A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME...
IS STILL A ROSE...."

sincerely..

treereich...

WOW, I am know that I have jumped on this thread late, but I am so overwhelmed by the similarities.

One of the greatest things about reading here is realizing that I am truly not alone in my path.

You have a great attitude. I would like to commend you. It certainly has been encouraging to me.

Thanks, docthorpe

"Mork calling orsen...come in orsen"

Tree for ONE I am lost for words. If your WH had his head any furthe rup is @ss he's suffocate.

I she able to drive wearing that white coat without any sleeves that the nice doctor made him wear ?

Breathtaking stupidity, rationalization and horseapples.

Pep's response is perfect.

I worry what he tells your in when you aren't around I really do.
The less you have to do with that tosser the better.

GC,
I often think of that.....will he ever wake up or is this just who he is and I never knew it???? I swear, it's frightening!!!

ark,
That was great!!!!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

docthorpe,
It is amazing how similar they (WS) are. It's scary! I'm trying my best to keep a good attitude. It's tough sometimes but I know I am a strong woman!!!!

Bob,
Good question...I don't know what he says tomy son when I'm not around. I can tell though that my son would rather be with me. SAD!!!
My WH wanted our son to go to his brother's 2nd wedding in a couple of weeks....well....I asked my son if he wanted to go with his dad and very confidently..he said NO! I told him all the kids would be there and he would probably have fun....once again..NO! I was kind of shocked that he said No. He didn't want to talk about it.

Also.....some of you may remember this from another one of my posts.....My MIL tried to set me up with someone...well, I told my WH about this and he confronted his Mom....of course she lied ....that's what they do....I guess it runs in the family. My SIL called me trash because I was airing her family's dirty laundry....once again she denied to WH. They are all so full of it.

Mouth hngs open.

You have to have them all killed Tree, no other choice. it sthe kind thing to do !

I always thought that if you take a dump in your smalls, that its not ever someone else's fault that the laundry is dirty, but then again, thats just me.

Trish when you are REALLY strong and happy all the time again I really think theres a novel in your story. A tragi-comedy.

No-one would believe that cack straight faced, so you'd need to make it funny. you write well, I think it might just work.

You know what's so great about all this stuff?

Tree, it's all very funny what your husband says, but I know it still must hurt. And yet...while trying to keep you hanging on somehow, he's making it so much easier for you to walk away. Just look...you started off wanting to work on your marriage and now you can hardly wait to be done. Not that that is a good thing, but at least he's keeping you laughing on the way to your lawyer's.

He's portraying himself as the biggest...ehh...I'll leave it there.

Have he and the OW moved into Cinderella's castle at DW yet? You know that's next, right? lol
