I know there is so much discussed about the awful and sometimes comical things WS say when they are foggy. I would like to hear some of the silly things BS say.....(and make NO doubt about we do....).....

For me, I remember saying....

"I love you because you save me from myself...."

Now how absurd is this?????

I said it when WS had asked me why I want this marriage and why I love him. This was only days after DDay and before I found this place. He was giving me all the classic wayward lines and I said this back. NOT a good example of Reverse Babble. It was also after I had hacked into his cellphone account and found her number all over the place. I had called it and WS was very busy trying to spin it (which he DID convince me of).....

Now, of course, I have sinced learned that WS did not "save" me from myself. Nor did he ever. I was nieve enough to believe that was his job. I now know that it is my job.......

ok....enough rambling for the day...

I have a good one - this one was sometime after "I love you but I am not in love with you" but before I caught the WW in bed naked with OM and confirmed my fears. Those two weeks weren't a fog, but more of a black hole for me. A bit of perspective - the OM is my wife's 2nd cousin who was living in our tenent house.

Me to OM " you are the best thing that has happened to WW and I - if we make it through this, you helped us get our act together"

Me to WW " I trust you with OM, afterall, you are cousins"

Good one. That is laughable now.

It is true that in a state of shock, we BS can say the most bizarre things.

My worst ones were to respond blow for blow sort of speak in an escalade out of my being betrayed at first but obviously driving us apart even more.

I don't ever recall trying to rationalize the suspicions my XW's adultery.


I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.
