My H is an unconfirmed WW (I'm still in the process of setting up more snooping); however, I believe that this qualifies:

Here is a text message exchange I discovered via snooping:


Quote
From her to him--> 3/11: 6:35 p.m.: Hey baby miss you

His reply --> 3/14 10:22 p.m.: whats going pretty lady. I'll be in on 20 Mar for evening shift. whats happenin wit u

When I confronted him about it, the focus was my snooping (How dare you look through my messages!) and his explanation was that she was the girlfriend of a friend / co-worker and she just likes to play around "like that."

OMG...I forgot to add that he also said

"Text messages are just words. There are no emotions behind them unless I am text messaging you or our child."

In response to me noting an uptick in text messages between him and a long time female friend.

Yeah my WH said something similar. He said that the kids would adjust to a divorce and that our marriage has nothing to do with them. He also said that if he didn't want me that doesn't mean he wouldn't want the kids. huh??? How was that supposed to work considering I had MOVED to california with our kids to be with him for his new job and left my whole family in IOWA! If he divorced me I would move back to Iowa with the kids! So how could he have them? Another nice one was how he knew what my bad character was when he laid down and reproduced with me and now he's bound to me for life because of his bad choices. He also told me he wouldn't leave for the OW or anyone else but rather for himself. WOW.

I've been told some hurtful ones but I'd rather not re-live them. As far as general craziness though, my WW said this:

"OM has absolutely nothing to do with our marriage problems."

Mine said that too! It happened to be the day after exWW had him listen in on phone counseling session between her and the marriage counselor.

A few of mine:

"I can't stand the fact I keeping hurting you. The only way I know to stop hurting you is to divorce"

"I can't stand to be around you because you smell like my dad (who abused her)"

"Our marriage will never work because your family resents what I have done"

"The OM is a lot like you. You would really like each other"

"I only married you so that I would no longer be a burden on my family"

and many, many more....

I've gotten that one a bunch too. So I reply, "then stop contacting him and lets work on our marital problems." To which she has no answer.

My H said to me and our marriage counselor, "It really didn't have anything to do with our marriage. I didn't do it at home. I did it at work."

I got that one... "OW has nothing to do with me wanting to leave you. I have for a long time."

Ok, then why are you afraid my lawyers will supena all of your emails and stuff? Hrm....? Why did you start ignoring me right after the A started and not before, hrm? Yeah. BS.

More.. "I only married you for security." Huh? He was in college finishing masters, I was just out of college in an ok but certainly not high-paying job.

My fav: "I never loved you." What the F ever. Fog, fog, fog.

oh, one more I remembered while reading another topic.

"I just wanted a friend."

Whaaa? I told WH he could have friends but he chose the wrong way for friendship! Then again, he's tried to tell me repeatedly they're just friends (who call/email/chat constantly?!?!). Stupid is NOT one of the tattoos I have.

I have a great one to add here:

"I'm so angry at you for snooping into that private email account. I didn't want you knowing what was in there because I didn't want our relationship to be scarred any further in case of reconciliation."

Uh.....how about a) the fact that you were lying to me, THAT'S why you didn't want me getting in, and b) the relationship is much MORE scarred by the lies?

Another good one:

"I feel so sorry for you for the lot you've been given in life." dontknow Like he wasn't a part of hurting me, it was just my lot in life??? Gosh!

Just for the record, I've heard Skatt shovel this on SEVERAL occasions.

And I cannot forget this little gem:

"I gave up on the M before I got involved with OM."

Oh really? Funny, I never got that "I'm giving up on the M" memo......
