Okay, now I gotta tell the story of how my ex (DD's dad) got cured of his lieing, cheating ways. I've never told it on here because violence is never the answer, and with that said, here goes.

My DD's dad was cheating on me when I was pregnant with a married woman. He was actually cheating with several women, but this woman happened to have a husband.

DD's dad was a popular (with the ladies) musician at the time, who can sing like a bird. One night while he was chirping away and playing his keyboards in front of the admiring married woman in a local hot spot, guess who walks in the front door? Yep, that's right, the husband.

He waits nonchalantly in the dard until my ex gets off stage walks up to him and says "this is a warning, the next will be fatal" and slugs him in the jaw. Then he turns around and takes another drink of his beer and walks out of the bar, leaving his WW behind.

My ex ends up with a wired jaw, which happens to get infected, requiring several surgeries to fix and six months of no singing and no eating.

He never messed with a married woman again. In fact he wanted to repair our relationship. He was pretty much done with women altogether at that point.

Fast forward 6 years and he is married with two more babies, and faithful, loving and as homebody as one can get.

As my DD's mom, I used to thank God everyday for that BH who decked him, because it literally changed ex's ways, forever.

But please don't try it yourselves, because in most towns he would have been thrown in jail, sued and pretty much scr*wed for hitting my ex. But not in our neck of the woods. And he could have killed him if his punch had been off a bit. We have seen that happen up here as well.

So NO violence, please.

Yes, but didn't they eventually recover? And the kids then had their father back and BS had her husband. And the skank went on her way in life?

While the details of the confrontation were great, I was also looking for the outcome. Life has many twists and turns - and some have more drama than others. I slipped into drama queen mode on that one, one with a happy ending <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Larry

It does have a happy outcome, but not the way you think. They were divorced on Dec 17th, 1999, 6 months later. BS remarries and is blissfully happy today.

WS from that story is shacking up with same housepainter OW. WS has lost everything and is financially destitute because OW does not work and cannot support him. The IRS has seized his property and placed leins on his credit. He owes them thousands of dollars. WS's college aged son had to buy him a $600 beater truck because his vehicle was repossessed. He and the OW fight all the time because WS refuses to marry her and because he goes off hunting and fishing with his buds all the time. OW doesn't trust him out of her sight. [imagine that!]

Happy ending for BS, not so happy for WS!

Hey Jo jo!

Jo jo was man who thought she was woman...lalala.

I'm so happy today. Ris, it's so good to see you! Been up on that high horse of yours lately? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Did you see I called you Dru, by mistake? Does anyone hear from her anymore? You and Dru remind me of each other, Jo. I don't know why, cuz she lives out on the left coast drinking expensive wine and eating fresh salmon, and you, wel you ride around on that high, high horse of yours. LOL ...thinking of new names for the peace pipe filleruppins.

Most military have heard these kind of stories, but never actually knew the person...

A Navy friend of mine (BH). Chose to D his wife of 13 years after her 2nd A. With no childern involved decided to seek a lawyer only to file the legal paperwork required for the D. All was agreed upon finacially...

She made more than him at the time of D.

They began arguing over the division of his pention. They agreed in writing, when he retired she would receive 50% of his retirement minus disablity percentage for life.

Initially after the divorce, he planned to remain in the Navy as long as possible, to avoid making payment.

Six months later, two months before signing the paper work to reenlist, he received a job offer that would triple his income as a civilian. He separated from the Navy less than 500 days before he was pention eligable.

She gets nothing additional from his post divorce income, and 50% of ZERO.

He immediately when out an bought himself "HER dream car".

I've never seen anyone smile so evil when asked "when did you retire?" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Just so ya'll know...

They DO get theirs.

You may not get the luxuary of being a fly on the wall to see it, or it may not happen like YOU'D have planned it, but it happens.

I know it for a fact.

It totally happens.


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

Justkeeptrying, that is a good story.

The best revenge is living well. Someone told me that on here once.

My cousins wife left him for another WOMAN when he was very, very ill with cancer. She left her kids with him too, although he was dying and could not care for him.

After the divorce a rich relative died leaving her with over a million dollar inheritance.

He had to go to court and FIGHT to get part of the money in child support, which he did but it was a bitter battle.

Can you imagine? She didn't even want to help her dying ex and little children out financially.

He recover though, and is now doing wonderfuly and has remarried.

And she still can't find love. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

"Guilt always seeks punishment"...

It could be financial ruin, accidents, substance abuse, poor health and be totally sub-conscious, but it always happens.

In every religion, and in every culture it is taught (that I know of) as well.

The rule of three

Visited by the flurries.

Does anyone know what it is called in Gypsy and Voodoo culture?

Well, I'm sure it is not pretty. That is why I pity thouse who cause harm to others.

I don't care what anyone says, I would rather be the one who is betrayed, than the one who hurts another. If you got to be on one side or the other at all.

I'm with Weaver's druthers.

It would KILL me to hurt someone like I've been hurt.

ETA: Fact o'the matter is, it pert near kills me to be who I've become SINCE being hurt.

My DD's dad was cheating on me when I was pregnant with a married woman.

You were pregnant with a married woman? That must have been some ceremony!

Sorry, couldn't resist.

She moved away with the kids April 08. I contested it and got a lot more time with my kids. She's unhappy that I want to stay involved in their lives and don't settle for being an "every other weekend" dad.

Never going to happen.

OK, so a funny thing happened last night in Who ville. Skirmisher and I were sitting in the family room watching something or other on TV. He commented, for about the 20th time this week on the unattractiveness of some one on TV.

Each and every time it has happened and I have looked up, it has occurred to me that whomever he was criticizing in every instance was much thinner and better looking that OW was.

Now I know that this was probably a LB of some form, I am sure. But I just couldn't hold it in......I let my reading glasses kinda slide down my nose and looked at him over the top of my glasses and said, "well, it's not like you haven't ever lowered your standards on occasion."

During their A, FWH would make OW stay in the hotel room when she traveled with him on business because she didn't dress appropriately and her hair was always a mess etc.

I can only imagine how much she would have let herself go had they actually ended up together, and he would have been miserable.

Who


I am the BW,
He is the FWH

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA! You kill me, WhoMe!

Hey, does your H still hate me for telling him his bs wasn't even good bs? [I think my exact words were: "did she actually fall for that??? If so send her here so we can smack her around!"] <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
