If you answered yes to either of those, EXPOSE!

I actually have gotten used to it. And kind of like it now. My XWH snored so loud that it could wake up the neighbors. I didn't realize how little sleep I got until he left.


It's peaceful and quiet these days. Miss Mullet gets to listen to it now. Karma I tell ya.....

12/25/06 - Dday - WH promised NC. Plan A in effect. Thought we were in recovery.

9/07 - Dday #3. Still lying and sneaking around. Plan B implemented
WH wants nothing to do with me

Yes. I was relegated to sleeping in the basement, as my wife insisted our three daughteers sleep with her for years. It is nice to have my own place to sleep, now.

Uh, no. My H smells much nicer, and he doesn't have fleas.

Good. I am sure my XWW had some type of parasites, thus, my preference for pets.

writer, this last post made me laugh too hard. Maybe it's because Lady (our 100 pound lab) slept in the hous during the recent cold snap here. I love her, but OMG she stinks!!! H smells like Dove and Obsession. Big difference.

LLL I have been thinking about you. After having my H work in higher ed for awhile, I am convinced it really is like a mafia sometimes - all about the "family," ugh. I know you have a lot to deal with and think about right now. I hope you are finding some way to take care of YOU too.

Whenever I'd bathe our dog, she would go outside and find some rotting carcass or something to roll on. Sounds kinda like my XWW, now that I think about it(well, she would bathe herself).

My dog hates baths. He's a 60-lb. pit bull, so I don't really argue with him on that one. It takes an army to get him into the tub.

I go to the humane society almost every week to pet dogs with my kids. We will get one once i have my new house.
Pitbulls all seem remarkably gentle and loving. I wonder if I can take a chance on one.

My dog is very gentle and loving. He's a big sissy, really. He's afraid of water, hence the bath issues. One thing I have noticed though is that he isn't very tolerant of the baby. She loves him, but he's sort of afraid of her. He's never bitten anyone or shown any signs of aggression, but he shies away from her. So, for the time being, I'm keeping them separated, or only allowing them to be together under close supervision. He does fine with older kids, but my 16 month old hasn't learned how to be gentle yet, so maybe that's the problem.

I'm concerned about the digressing going on. LLL hasn't posted since page 43 of this thread, and it seems as if it's a chat room for talking about dogs and who's posted the longest, among other things. I'm a fan of lightening up once in a while, but I think the thread is off track. I suggest we all wait to hear from LLL or maybe only post things directly related to helping her.

Apparently we are. IDK I think she just might enjoy the light hearted banter about doggies until we get back into the meat of her problems. She loves her dogs!

I see no reason why not. It will keep her thread at the forefront.
Now, any cat or hamster stories?
