Ok....I just got an email from my WH.....

It was mostly about our son but this was thrown in there....

"And I do hope you find the fish in the sea youre looking for, as I am sure that there are plenty for you...I wish you good will and good luck. And you are right, I do have to teach myself to stop worrying about you. I guess that once I know you are standing on your own in everyway, I will be able to fully let go for that matter."

Maybe he really is done with me and doesn't care.

In a dumb boomerang way, he is trying but he keeps coming back. What kind of bait r u using anyway? H bait? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

He doesn't seemed convinced he can let go. He probably wants you to do that for him also. Then he can say you dumped him and wallow in pity. That's a WS tatic.

Don't fall for it. Just keep posting and venting here.

Hugz,
L.

I don't know why he keeps emailing me with this garbage. If he's so happy then why does he bother.

He also said in the email that he left the marriage but that he still cares about me.
Yeah, sure ya do....that's why you treat me like crap!!!!! Uggghhhhh.....I'm sooooooooo over this garbage!!!

Tree, you've got yourself the original new-age cheatin' husband. So rare to catch one alive...

He seems almost irredeemable, doesn't he? How will he justify it when he cheats on Fwenchie?

Tree, I lost my scorecard. Is this his first affair?

Tree-

Oh my gosh girl, he's such a keeper, how can you justify letting that one get away?? LMAO

You're not in Plan B or anything, right? Just plan "Leave me alone you stupidhead"?? Oh I would not be able to not reply to him, I would have to send him some kind of nonsensical crap like:

WH:

I hope that you find your needle in the haystack of life, I know that you will. You have always been the apple. If all the stars in the heaven burnt out the light from your personality would surely be a light. I honestly hope that all your dreams become like butterflies in the spring. Always remember, as sand through the hourglass, so are the days of our lives.

-Tree

LOL!!!!

Hi, Tree.

I wanted to write you a little letter in the same spirit as the ones you have received from wayward husband.

------
Dear Tree.

Does a bird fall far from the bush? Can a bee sting the flower? In the same way I am glad that your tree is flowering on Tuesdays.

It is with Wednesdays tears that I fly the kites of yesterday and sing of days tomorrow. The renaissance rings in the new year, but I am forever mostly.

I bid you adieu until the morrow, when the broken tongue in my cheek shall once again waggle effortlessly between my gums, and you in the past shall fair well.

With the babble, I the lead.

WH
------

:-)

Is this a new form of poetry? Babble poetry? Babblespeak?

We should have a new thread where people can post their best works!

Thanks for the funnies....I needed the laugh this morning. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />

The more I think about his stupid email....I want to write something back to him just as confusing. I'm so tired of him thinking he knows best and we'll all be fine!!!! UUgghhhh! He's a self rightous, pompous A$$!!!!!
How can he tell me that he hopes I meet someone and he will be happy for me? WTF????? Is he for real or what? Is this just to ease his guilt?

So, yes, this is ALL about easing his guilt. He dumps it on you because he feels that it is okay to do so.

Your message to him needs to be one of silence. Acknowledge nothing, react to nothing.

All the best,
Gimble

TR, read some of you story.

Have you lost Hope?

Sometimes we have to laugh to keep form crying.
I see that in you.
I looked at my WW with wonderment in my eyes. I wondered who the heck she was, who was she becoming? I wondered if she could ever come back, not necessarily to me, but to a rational thought process.

Have you lost Hope of that for your H.

TR, work on yourself. You aren't so "over it" as you may think. It is so darn frustrating I know.

Ignore him, be a great TR. He has to work on himself - you can't do it for him.

Ooh, ooh, can I try?

Remember that I care about you too, like a boat on the water, floating and bobbing along, and it's a beautiful day. I read your words and wonder, who else would appreciate these? I am in a place of tranquility, like the lighthouse on the shore. Your words have helped me see your point of view. There is no malice here, only meditative contemplation, and your words are like a bell that rings in the distance marking the beginning. The bell is growing fainter as I ambark.

Is that crappy enough, and enough of a hint to 'leave me the h&ll allone'?

Your silence is killing him ! ~LOL~

Keep up the good work with your non-responsiveness to his poorly disguised attempts .... trying to goad you into being bad!
