Laff I took me one day jsut to read 150 page of the idiotville thread.

Keep it up Char.

P.S. looks like me and the OMW will be talking later this week. So we'll see what can of trouble I can brew. She seems pretty strong willed so perhaps her husband is a serial cheater <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />. We'll see. Not doing this for revenge but out of love for all human beings.

Hi 411!!

Good luck with your meeting!

I like this line:

Quote
out of love for all human beings.


I thought about you and RIF earlier. After I left my Doberman and went shopping it was too late for me to bake the chicken in the fridge so I wanted a deli sandwich. The place next to Hobby Lobby was closed and Subway was just not an option!

So I drove down a bit and went to the New York Pizzaria. Owned by authentic Italians. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

While I was there this Italian guy came in with two blonde chickies. He was definitely a native of Italy, not the U.S. (He wasn't wearing skimpy shorts though, RIF!!) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

So I just had an Italian kind of day today. It's all good!

Thanks Charlotte,

I'm nervous because I've always been a conflict avoider. However, this is the right thing to do for the OMW the children, my WxGF and the OM.

That's a funny anecdote Charlotte.

Italian days are good. Although the OMM has been polluting my WxGf with all things Italian. Even saying things to her in Italian. Grrr He's not even Italian which makes it even more insulting.

Sometime I wish my father had taken up that offer to join a "family". :P

Thank you! (Charlotte wiggles eyebrows up and down.)

Oh that sucks! And not even Italian! That's just disgusting! There's just no substitute for the real thing!

With Mr. Gray...Slag was trying to teach him French. He would go into Babelfish all of the time for translations for their slop.

I was like...what's so great about France? That's where Princess Di passed away!!!

Ewww, it's so sickening. And what language did I want Mr. Gray to learn? Klingon. I even bought a book for him for Christmas one year. Now what's more fun? French or Klingon?

We know the hands-down winner of that question!

And she would give him her stupid calendar pages, too. With cheesy little sayings and such on them. He brought them home a couple of times. The last time he did I took them and burned them. Nuttin' but trash from trash!

Oh, ITA ITA ITA!!!! You don't know how much I wished I was Italian and in the mob when this happened!!!! I was so, "I wish I was Tony Soprano!" (Except for the wh*ring around...Tony was such a ho!) Just the mob justice stuff..."ya mess wit da fam'ly...ya gonna be swimmin' wit da fishes!!!!"

Hey Charlotte,

Laff I actually do speak French as it was the first language I learned really. However, I compeltely understand the trigger.

There are some great people there and Paris is a hoot but all the same that type of trigger pisses me off because it's coming from the same dishonesty black hole.

Klingon eh good stuff.

I use the hitman answer when people ask me what I do. Granted I'm a pacifist (ok not really) but it's extremely rare when I get angry but when I do it's not good as I turned into the incrdible hulk and I'm very very nasty.

Laff often at times I wsih I was a mafioso so I could frighten the crap out of these adulterous fools.

Just wish things worked like in the movie The Crow when Brandon Lee twists the mothers arm and heroin rolls out and she's no longer addicted.

Talk about your come to Jesus monents. I think that's what every BS hopes for.

You know French? I'm so sorry, 411! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/teary.gif" alt="" /> Just kiddin'!

ITA with your second paragraph! Dang detrimental black holes of dishonesty and deceit!

Quote

Yeah! Klingons! Honorable...double organs in their bodies...livin' in the NOW...honoring of the death of another Klingon, enemy or not...etc. (So funny in Insurrection when Worf got a "gorch!")

LOL on the hitman answer! OWH is Italian, I think he does this, too!

Incredible Hulk: "Don't make me angry...you wouldn't like me when I'm angry!!!!" (That movie was okay but the series was just so touching and heartbreaking with the sadness of being cut-off from the normalcy of life. The serious captured it SO WELL!) Yeah, Mr. Gray like the series, too. Slag? She was an adolescent when The Incredible Hulk was on. Not old enough to appreciate it. (If she was me, she'd have started young. I was barely a smidgen when I fell in love with Batman (Adam West.)

Not that my mom relied on tv as a babysitter or anything. I was just hooked on it, is all!

Hi SIHW!

I agree...Italians are not all bad, not at all. Nope. Didn't mean to imply that...if it came across that way!!

That's pretty funny how your XH thought you had a hit out on him, though!! LMAO!!!

Wow 411, that's GREAT!!!!!!

I'm happy for you at this wonderful news!!!

I can't wait to "Bam!" you with similar news.

If Mr. Gray doesn't wait until it's too late. It's getting there already.

Thanks Charlotte,

You don't know how much you, James, and everyone else has helped me to this point. I rather doubt that I couldn't have gotten to this point with coming here and meeting wonderful and supportive people.

Now comes perhaps a more difficult part. I'm am recovering myself, but in this state I'm vulnerable and now she will be reaching out as she did today via e-mail. It wasn't much but it was enough to make me frantic and I've had a hard hard time keeping calm at my desk.

However, I'm sturck by the realization that it's only a start and many here as well those close to me have strongly advocated not looking back and finding someon who I deserve. I will be taking it strongly under advisement.

The good thing is I'm much more prepared for this day than I could have possibly been without speding invaluable time here and on the web learning as much as I could.

I'm not going anywhere because I can't leave anyone here. I want to see things resolved whether it's a rebuilt marriage or rebuilt people.

I'm still pulling for you Charlotte jsut as much as ever because I know that those that are here are the salt of the earth and comprise good people who have been dealt a tragedy.

Thank you, 411! It's really sweet of you to say so. Some may call it "birds of a feather, flock together," etc. because we are on MB and there are a lot of betrayed spouses...but like others here, I really care about you and everyone else and the newcomers who come here in so much pain even though I only know most here through the keyboard.

I can totally relate to the frantic!

I get this also. A lot of positive things have happened since Exposure Explosion. I've met SO many great people and I am closer to my stepchildren than I ever was. I know that I could fall in love again. Opportunities keep popping up and sometimes I feel like Mr. Gray was dragging me down even before the affair because I was so cloistered...I'd go take care of my grandma and then go home. Never anywhere else except the necessary places although sometimes we broke protocol and saw a movie or went out to eat. His "hermit" tendencies rubbed off on me a lot.

I haven't yet given up on the hope that I might see the same someday.

Thank you, 411...and I'm still hangin' in there. I really need B soon and now it's delayed because the inventory is delayed. I'm trying to hang on...I'm hanging over the edge of the cliff and slipping but I'm digging in with my fingernails trying to hang on! A couple of them peeled back and now blood is running down my hands but I'm still hanging on!

I know I can't rush things but if he dorks around too long it will be too late for us. I don't want that to happen. So I'm hanging on...it's SO hard right now, but I'm not giving up.

Good evening Charlotte!!!

Sorry I've been AWOL... we've had some missions outside the wire so I haven't been on my normal nigh-shift.

Hope you're doing well... I've got to go out again today, but will check back in with you later on this evening/early tomorrow morning...

Went to the gym this morning but didn't see any Italians... it's colder now, so I think the Italians put away their skimpy shorts... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> Now we just get to see them in spandex... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Too bad they don't have any good looking Italian WOMEN...

Semper Fi,

RIF

I've been talking to DIL for a couple of hours in IM. Mr. Gray was logged in at the same time.

I checked my other mail and he had logged into chat in that mail as well.

Well, I left my g'ma's really late. I drove around the block before I came home.

I logged back in to IM. Mr. Gray had logged out. He had also logged out of the other email.

Coincidence?

Just like the day before yesterday...I left a "special" message in my status box.

He didn't do this yesterday, when there was no message in the status box and I wasn't in IM because I was gone.

Well, today I left a "special" message in my status box again and VOILA! He does the same thing as the other day.

Seems fishy to me. But that's just me.

Hi RIF!

He must've been. I think that was too much of a coincidence to be one!

Gee, you'd think he'd have better things to do than check to see if his wife is online!

I'm still up. Trying to figure out when I should go to sleep. Soon I guess. I'm not tired, though.
