Ok Tree I think my WW is going to soon be able to rival your WH's antics.

I sent my WW I letter regarding some child care expenses she was liable for according to our separation agreement.

So she phones me up quite angry. Guess why? I addressed the letter to her as "Ms. Miker" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> I told her I was confused as to why she was angry with that. And all should could respond with is "That's just crap. Don't address the letter like that if you want me to read it or I'll just wrip it up." I was flabbergasted and said isn't that who you are? She said no. I said well how would you like me to address it then? She replied with my first name. I said ok, I'll do that next time.

Any idea what the heck that was all about? She commits adultery and gets mad at me addressing her formally in a letter? This time I am truly at a complete loss...

Heh,

Titles such as Mrs imply..duty, obligation, dignity, ownership...not the most favorite words of a WS.

It's quite an ugly face looking back at her from that reflection.

No suprise she reacted so harshly.

So can you see this playing out in front of the judge?

Scene: Courtroom to discuss divorce.

Judge: Mrs. M, it is stated by you that you did not sign the requested documents. Please explain.

WS: Yes your honor, I did not sign the documents but would like to discuss their terms now.

Judge: Mrs. M., this is not the place to discuss it, this time is to render a decision. Why did not you review your paperwork as instructed by your lawyer? Did your legal counsel inform you of these documents?

WS: Yes your honor, she did. The documents originated with my H but I did not like the way he put my name on the document so I tore it up. But I am ready to discuss them now.

Judge: You what??!?!?! I have the documents here. What was so offensive about this paperwork worth shredding?

WS: He called me Ms. Miker, your honor. I don't want t/b called by that name. I have a 1st name and he should call me by what I want.

Judge: Really? Well I choose to call you Mrs. M. today, does that mean you are NOT going to cooperate with this court?

WS: No, I will cooperate. I just don't like it when he calls me that way.

Judge: Lady, in all my born days, I haven't seen a nuttier excuse than this. Those documents must not be very important to you. You have just lost custody of your children and relinquished your rights to alimony. BTW, the offer on those docments were quite generous but I can see you don't deserve any of it. Court rules in favor of the BS and family. No alimony, child support or custody to the WS. Next case.....



So let the WS continue to make a fool out of themselves. In time, others will notice. How embarassing. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" /> But it is their choice.

Its like they dont want to face the consequences for their actions. My wh was quite angry with me when I called him by his name. why? cause we always called each other babe. The man comes to me, tells me hes gonna see a lawyer about D options, I say "ok Nelson." He says "Dont you ever call me that! It doesnt sound right! you7 call me babe as you always have, or dont call me anything!" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> Ok buddy, YOU want a D but i have to continue to call you "babe?" Confused the hell outta me too.

Mike - this is par for the course.

You'll hear nuttier before you hear saner from the morbidly fogged.

Don't you understand your marriage was over long ago? Don't you understand that she did not commit adultery? - that your marriage was wrong from the git go? - that you abused her?

Get a grip, Mike!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Here's an actual quote from my WS. I swear I am not making this up: </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I an NOT HAVING AN AFFAIR!!! I'm in LOVE with OM. WHAT PART OF THAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND????</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">WAT

Miker....
Can you imagine if we got all of our WS in one room and listened to their bullcrap all at once? WOW>>>we'd all pass out with disgust! LOL!

I think noodle is right....Mrs. signifies commitment and obligation. You are making her feel guilty when you address her as Mrs. I like ark's idea of addressing her from now on ans Ms. .

Hang in there...if you WW is anything like my WH, you'll hear crazier stuff than that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

Ha ha... yes it is pretty funny in retrospect. Thanks for all your replies.

I was thinking I should have said, "I have some other names I can call you if you don't like that one". <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />

Ok, probably best I didn't do it that way.

Loonie bin... yes very good analogy. The problem is I do need some money from her and some letters signed so I can finish getting my financial situation sorted out. My lawyer will laugh if I bring this to her... although I'm sure she's seen worse...

Treereich .... I love the idea of putting all WS's in a room and listening to them. In fact we should take it one further and make it into a reality TV show. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" />
