Most ridiculous lie:

"I hid in a locked closet when I talked to OM because I care about you and didn't want to hurt your feelings"!

Now that is a good one! How STUPID does a WS think we are????

ITHURTS,
you know the thing is that these folks cant fix themselves. No matter how hard they try. It has been said that these A's are addictions. Well I believe that it is true. And the most successful way of dealing with addictions is the 12 step program popularized by AA. The first step in the program is giving the addiction to a higher power. I call that power the Father, the Son, and the holy ghost! That is what these folks must do......acknowledge their problem and ask the higher power to take it from them. By giving up the addiction, the higher power fills the void in their life. Its all relatively simple. I know this stuff cause before I even met my ex, I gave up alcohol. And in the depths of my depression, my faith kept me from ever taking a sip again. Sure....that old enemy tried to trick me by telling me ...."you know everyone would understand, given the circumstances, if you drank again." But somehow my faith prevailed. Guess I have rambled a little bit here. But this is what I was talking about when I meant filling that void.

the most ridiculous?

me after first counseling session:
"Would you like to come back with me again?"
XW: " No!"
a few second pause,
XW:"And don't ask me those questions because i don't know how to say NO!"

LOL!


Learning from your own mistakes creates experience, learning from books creates knowledge, combining the two together creates wisdom => You start with a full bag of luck, and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck.

I guess for me when I asked for the millionth time, "where is your wedding ring?"

STBXH ~ I forgot it at work.
STBXH ~ I can't wear it because I am a mechanic.
STBXH ~ I can't wear gold. (so, we just HAD to buy him an expensive titanium silver ring, nearly unbreakable, so he could were it...nope)
STBXH ~ I forgot it at work...

Mine was this.....

"We only had oral sex for 15 weeks because she was afraid if we had the "real" thing she would fall in love with me. So we never made "real love" until you kicked me out and she tried her last ditch attempt to keep me."

This is how he described the way I caught gonnorhea from him. OUCH and that began the year of he** to see if we also had HIV....we didn't. Thank you God for that.

We're doing great now but "The first cut is the deepest" means a long time to heal..... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Not my normal board here, but I had to throw out a few doozies that my first husband told me.

1. "I didn't buy all these clothes. My friend didn't like them so he gave them to me." XH - 6'3", 230 His friend - 5-8, 160

2. "We're going hunting together." Explanation for weekends away with a stripper. Wild game was never brought home. Gun was forgotten one weekend.

3. "I was born in Alaska." WHY? Why would you lie about where you were born?

4. "I'm drinking goldenseal tea to flush out my system because I woke up and my roommates were smoking drugs in the room."

5. "You're a slut. I only had sex with one woman before I married you." What about all the other women you told me about? "I didn't ejaculate, so they don't count."

6. And the absolute MOST horrifying. "I had a younger brother. He was really smart and a star athlete. He was killed by a drunk driver." Then I actually MET his younger brother. Very sweet kid with Down's Syndrome.
