"I like her [OW's] maturity. Everything is so black and white with you" He also added "She understands the complexities of life"....unlike the wife you have betrayed multiple times who you think still believes life is a fairytale?! Hmmm. If you are looking for someone who understands life's complexities, you might try looking closer to home....

chalkncheese, thanks so much for the morning chuckle!  I don't have anything near as fun to add...the one thing that I can remember is that my FWH once told me "she isn't some beautiful woman, she is just like you!"
DDays - six months of them THANK YOU God and Marriage Builders. We never knew that it could be this good!

Just remembered another one:
[following the comment about me not noticing that his shirt had creases in it because he had taken it out of a suitcase, which I explained by referring to the fact that I was struggling with a full-time job (I'm a CEO) and a 4-month old breast-feeding baby and three other kids]
"I think you love suffering" ??????!!!! Yep, I really do love stress.

I think I have a few.
(A couple weeks after discovery of affair w/ OM1)
Me: "OM's wife has told me her husband has entered counseling"
Her: "Yes, because his wife is causing him depression"
(Recently in court mediation about OM2)
Her: "I don't know what you care, I only went on a few dates with him".
(Directly to court mediator)
Her: "I don't see why the kids need counseling. I have not been hurting them in any way because I have been honest about what goes on between us when I brought them around OM2 and bring them around OM3"
