Isn't this fun?


To be honest, no. To be honest, you sound just like the OM.

Sorry, I'm serious about that. Give me words any day.

Dru, Pio was being a smarta** when he asked if you were regreted.

For my part, I was kidding. I am never serious unless I am talking about infidelity.

I know you were kidding. Sorry.

Oh, forget I said anything. Stupid thing to say anyway.

Back to the garden for me.

Kiwi,
Did Todd hit a trigger or are you just tired? Do you enjoy gardening as much as coffee and wine? I think it would be a great escape to have a vibrant thriving garden. I tend to neglect the poor flowers and episodically water and weed...not the best maintenance plan...visible consequences:)

2much, I suppose Todd did hit a trigger. It came, completely unbidden into my mind, that OM would have such a lot in common with Todd. I don't want those sort of thoughts THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Rob, on the other hand, could discuss literature with Todd till the cows come home and I much prefer it when we're talking about poetry and literature on here. It's dear to my heart and it's dear to Rob's heart.

Yes, I love gardening. I'm passionate about gardening. When I'm out in my garden I am truly happy.

Goodness. This thread just explodes. Turn your back for 5 seconds.....

Pio - I'm dense obviously. What about the shorts?

2Much - I like the idea of confronting him with his lies and asking him to go and live somewhere else. Plan B by any other name. Exactly how much disrespect can you bear?

What shorts? Has he been talking about pink shorts again?

Even Rob made a joke about pink shorts the other day after I told him what everyone had been saying on here.

He's just bought some Crocs to wear in the shop as he's on his feet all day. He bought khaki coloured ones. I said, at least you didn't buy pink ones. He said "you mean to go with my pink shorts?"

Crocs - yes I know but they're comfortable

LOL, I meant that to be funny but I seem to be offending everyone today.

I have a sore back and it's stopping me gardening and it's stopping me doing housework and I think it's making me grumpy.

Maybe I'll just go and have a nap.

Thanks for the hugz BK. Apparently I can suck it up. I'll hang till the end of the month and keep my pact with Pio. I don't understand the dynamics inside my H's head. He said ILY 3x today which I ignored and didn't respond to since we agreed months ago to quit using that phrase since it was meaningless. He used it b/c he was very excited about something he purchased and was sharing his happiness with me. The third ILY he apologized and tried to clarify, I told him not to worry about it I don't take them to heart, I know it's just a reaction and has no meaning. He got sad and said not to take it like that and assured me he "still liked me". I just smiled and walked away.

It is amazing to me how the WS brain functions. He slipped about something else and said he didn't care about whatever explaination I was giving him...I replied, "Why don't we just quit pretending then..." he looked at me all annoyed and was like, "why you got to be like that?"


hhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

2much, BK askes a good question: "How much disrepect can you take?" I would add: What's the point? What's the benefit?

One of the stupidest things ex said to me during our false recovery was in response to my saying we couldn't recover our marriage if there was a third person involved. He looked at me with all seriousness & said "I'm curious, I'm not involved with someone else but if I were why not?" With the patience of a saint & speaking to him as if he were someone worthy of my love I explained why. A total waste of breath.

I just stopped in to see what was up. OS stayed home from his father's tonight (he's been finding excuses to not go for the last month or more) so we're going to watch more X-Files.

See y'all tomorrow. Let's see we're on page 231 now, by morning it ought to be up to what, 230/235?

'night all, sleep well for those of you with sleep in your near future.

Yes, I meant I could still remember the smell of the woo woo spray.


That part was obvious. I'm just curious how you got your nose into it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I've been in the unenviable position of having had a very public fight with you on MB. English is my first language (although some would disagree) and I felt I gave as good as I got. However, you are a master at the cutting remark and icy sarcasm and I wonder how G copes when you go into "fight" mode.


I honestly and truly speak with her on her level and only in Spanish so there is no confusion. Trust me. She has the advantage.

2much,

I now it hurts. I can only tell you that there is benefit to your patience and that benefit is to YOU. My marriage could end tomorrow and I would feel great because I know I did everything I could have. I never understood it until recently but Plan A is for YOU - not WH.

Dru,

Sorry but if you don't have a sense of humor, it isn't safe to post here. Otherwise, bring it on. I've been trying to offend ToddAC for 8 months. I still haven't found the chink in his armor. Well, at least I have a goal.

I changed my number of posts per page in My Home so I am on page 70. While that seemed like a good idea, I now have metatarsal tunnel syndrome from my mouse wheel.

2much,

If you will honor your medicine, I can assure you that you will be happy you did. You will be able to look yourself in the mirror and smile and be happy with yourself. Don't play WH's game. Change the rules and play your game.

Sorry. Oxymoron. The WS brain has ceased all function. They are lucky they don't pee themselves.
