Or does anyone else find these WSs kind of funny? Not trying to say I think As are funny. They cause massive amounts of destruction and pain. But if anyone has been following my SIL's sitch, her WS said something to her yesterday that had me laughing all the way to the grocery store when SIL told me.

For those who don't know the story, this is his 2nd A. Sil has been being very nice since she found out in February, but did not know MB tactics. Second d-day was on 7/4. When she told me I told her the laid back approach doesn't work and have been trying to get her up to speed on MB basics. She told her kids last Saturday in front of her H and said he needs to move out, which he agreed to do. Then he went away for business until last night.

OK, the WS funny comment. He says, "I am feeling lonely. I am considering ending my R with OW. If I come back it will be for our children, Blank & Blank. It won't be for you or I. What do you think? Tell me when I get home." OMG, I'm still laughing.

Anyhoo, SIL was great! Orchid, you would have been proud at her reverse fog babble, and at the way she let him know that was not acceptable to her. She said way more than that and I was so happy. She said his face just fell. Like he thought she was going to say, "Oh honey, thanks you! You're such a prize. Sure I'll take you back under any circumstances. Even if you don't want anything to do with me I'll take you back."

SIL said several days ago she felt like she would have done anything to have him back. But reading here, and listening to me, has changed her perspective. Darn, I love Dr. Harely. As soon as these As aren't secret anymore they just aren't as much fun! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Aloha CV55 & SIL,

Glad to hear she RB'd with success! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

So he thinks he's hot stuff? Ha! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

SIL, the way you can tell if he means it or is still a WS is how he says things.....if his nice sounding words are based on HIS needs, then he ought to stay out because he's still a WS! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

You can tell by the eyes and yep, it's a dead give away when they open their mouth. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> It doesn't take long to unmask the lies and smooth talking....WS' as a group have a low tolerence for putting on a good recovery act, so it doesn't take much to blow their cover. RB helps uncover that act while leaving the BS with enough strength to kick 'em to the curb before the WS even knows what's happening!

I recall mine coming back and asking me if how come I didn't love him anymore?!?! I actually laughed in his face (would have cried and just caved before) but when I laughed and RB'd back to him that I can't and won't love a WS, just my real H.....he looked like someone hit him between the eyes. Foggy and all that glazed dazed look. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" /> Bullseye! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Keep up the good work!

take care,
L.

or:

"Tell you what, exactly, when you get home? Why come home? Who is this 2uestion directed at anyway? You, or the kids?"

Ok, I read it once, twice, waited and read it again. I wanted to laugh, but what he said was so pathetic that I was just stunned into silence.

The world revolves around him, which leads me to an oft repeated concept; God and Mom made who he is, you aren't gonna change him. But on this one, you wudda thought that just daily life might have mitigated the attitude.

Is he a good looking guy? Some good looking males and females end up with that sorta entitlement attitude. This usually makes them a mile wide and an inch deep; shallow as it were.

Here's an idea: Get a picture of him. Blow it up a bit and put it on poster board. Then get a picture of the earth along with pictures of people including his family. Paste them to the board and draw circles to show that they all revolve around his picture. Make sure his picture is bigger than anything else on the board. Try to find bowing and kneeling pictures. Put the quotation at the bottom in bold with his name as the author.

Maybe the caption at the top could be something like, "King of the World."

I am blown away. That has to be one of the best of the best pathetic babbles I have ever heard.

Oh good, it's not just me! Larry wrote:

He's nice looking, but I never thought of him as the overly conceited type. If SIL ever posts here she can speak to that. I think what he said is just typical WS fogbabble. I thought of a new word that describes this phenomena. Fu%%ed upedness. Scuse the language, but it fits. His words just speak to how delusional he is. These WS expect that everyone, including their children, are just going to be soooo happy for them that they have found their true love. That everyone is just going to be cheering them on as they ride into the sunset with their OP. NOT!

I asked SIL to notice what has happened since she firmly told him they would tell the kids one week before they did. WH consulted a D attorney right out of the phone book. She found the ad in his car. That reality of a D probably woke him up a little. He now knows her immediate family knows and don't want to be around him. More reality checks happening. And then seeing the reaction of his children last Saturday, who I know he loves. I'm sure that was like ice cold water being dumped on his head. Then the reality of, "Where am I going to live?" All of a sudden OW might not be looking quite as good as she used to be. Then SIL not welcoming him back with open arms at the thought of living in a loveless, sexless M. HELLLUUUU WS! Time to call in the mother ship to beam you up! People in As are so out of it. My FWH can't even believe it. He feels a little badly laughing at BIL. I told him it's healthy laughing at these WSs, and I sure laughed at you! Was that an LB?

He's your H who was a WS. He should understand your statement. I said that to mine before and he agreed. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
