Oh, geez, Tabby. That is priceless.

After weeks of the best Plan A I could do and WxH being an absolute [censored] - not speaking to me, and if he did it was cruel - I asked him WHY. WHY are you being so rude and mean?

WxH: Because if I was nice, you would think there was hope. There is no hope and I don't want you to think there is. I don't want to lead you on.

How kind of him. I also think that if he was decent to me, he would feel as though he was cheating on OW. He did say this in a conversation to me months later after he moved out and we met to discuss DDs.

One of my favorites, when asking WH if he was going to marry OW since he screwed up her current green card marriage, he said:

"Jean, I am a married man, it would be IMMORAL of me to be planning a future with another woman".

Goodness! Some of these are priceless.

I have a few golden ones myself:

"I'm so optimistic about us that I'm leaving the Christmas stuff with you."

(Said while we were divorcing and she was advertising herself as available on the internet)

"I labeled myself as 'divorced' (on Myspace) because you wouldn't believe how many men contacted me thinking I was a married woman looking for hookups!"

(She was a married woman....looking for hookups!)

"It wasn't adultery in the legal sense. There was no penetration."

(Oral sex isn't sex. And apparently it isn't adultery either. Who knew?!)

"It's not like I had some long affair!"

(That lessens the pain of a one nighter. Oh, gee, that makes having oral sex with strangers acceptable!)

"They're all lying!"

(Said about all of the men I contacted, which were told that we were divorcing and that I knew about it. Funny because I was deployed and thinking about how great a wife I had. And they all had the same story. Apparently they would meet when she wasn't looking to make sure they all had their story straight and contradicted her.)

The fog babble doesn't really end after a divorce and after a few years. The more recent comments:

"It's been two years! Why aren't you over it!"

Let's see....

Lost my flying career, which I worked most of my life to do and wanted to do since I was a kid.

Lost my wife (who died. I don't know the monster that replaced her)

Lost seeing my kids regularly. (She's mad that I want to see them at all and fought really hard to keep me from doing so. She didn't succeed, but I still see them only a fraction of what I should and she really shouldn't have them at all.)

Destroyed my family.

Took all our stuff.

Left me unemployed.

Manipulated me into agreeing to move to a place where I knew only a handful of people and had no family with the hope we'd be back together someday.

Gosh! I wonder why it's taken me a little while?

Hmm. Is it wrong of me to feel complete revulsion when I see her?

puke

Adultery sucks.

(Note to dear readers: I blame myself for not being stronger when I came home from the war. I should have thrown her butt out on the street and fought hard in Kansas to keep my kids and never agreed to move here. But hindsight is 20/20. So while I use to point the finger at her, deservedly so, she didn't hold a gun to my head. I did this to myself by letting her get away with robbery and without a fight in a no contest divorce I stupidly agreed to.)

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.

Here's one I hadn't thought about.

Like an idiot, at some point I tried to explain some of this MB stuff to EXWW while she was in the middle of her affair.

So when OM1 dumped her, she came to me and said, "Believe me, the fog has definately been lifted"

We were going to attempt recovery.

4 days later when OM1 wouldn't take her back she tried to kill herself.

When she got out of the hospital she jumped right on OM2.

So tragic, but sooooo wayward

WxH actually used the MB information I had printed for him as an excuse for his absences.

He was "out at the lake" reading everything I had given him.

Yeah, right. :RollieEyes:

Wayzilla tried the Bill Clinton Defense too. I stared at her for quite a while before calmly and coldly asking, "Do you understand that even that little activity has exposed us to sexually transmitted diseases?

Proudly and defiantly she snarled back at me, “Yes I do!

Oh well h@ll, as long as you knew.

Wow, just writing that makes me miss her so much my eyes are tearing up……no….wait….it’s just gas from my meatball sub I had for lunch. Crisis over.

WW's response to MB?

Sounds more like a business deal than a marriage..


Heh... gotta wonder about someone who can take the 'lovebank' metaphore as so literal.. and turn the whole 'till death we do part' thing into a joke..

It is illegal in many states just not enforced. Apparently adultery is too.

What's funny is Wayzilla has to know who she is up against. I would not want to enter into a battle of words with our buddy chris.

I'm sure this one has already been posted, and I've certainly shared a lot of the stupid things the SCQ has said and done, but once, when we were in false recovery and MC (and pre-MB for me), and she was trying to weasel her way out of the marriage, she said

"Don't you want me to be happy?"

My god, I gave her so much credit than she deserved.

ExWh would never tell who the OW was. But I had a good guess. So I asked if it what was XXXXX. With a horrified expression, he said, "No, how could you think that? Why would you think that?!"

I was right.

Agree

The wazilla chronicles would make a great screenplay.

Some one needs to package all these scripts, bind them in a book and make a fortune.

So unbelievable are these statements made by waywards - could it really be non-fiction.

perhaps a dummy handbook - Wayward scripts for dummies...nah

Waywards are dummies

This one is good.

I asked W why she kept saying to me that we should "work on things" whilst she was staying with OM. The conversation went like this:

GH31: "W, why do you keep saying you want to work stuff out if you're living with another man?"

WW: "GH31, I am just trying to engage in "higher thinking". It's like you are up here, and OM is this fog in the middle somewhere... see what I mean?"

GH31: "No"

What a situation I find myself in. I am calling the storage and removals companies today in preparation for Plan B. Need to speak to the good Dr. Harley ASAP. I have been thinking about all the cruel, deranged, sickening and vile things my WW has done and said over the past few days.

I feel almost bad laughing at this. Like laughing at stupidity is immoral.

I have discovered through these forums that stupidity is another of Satan's tools...

The Bill Clinton defense? Very good.

Glad to know what to label it now.

There were more doozies that came to mind after I posted, but I'm just stirring up crap and that just makes things stink.

They're waywards and immoral and deserve every bit of bad luck and crap that comes their way.

May their homes be bulldozed by re-zoning and imminent domain and may their new found loves find wisdom and give them a taste of their own medicine and cheat on them.

I'll happily look for women with morals in the meantime or just be happy being alone and playing against my brother online.
