I have a few to add...

"You never loved me!" Huh? What? Are you kidding?

"Why would you want me back after all of this?" Gee, maybe it's because I love you! (That was before I got a gullet full)

"Maybe one day our paths will cross again!" Fat chance on my part but I will never say never.

This was said after all the divorce stuff. "Why are you doing this to me?" What? It was you that wanted the divorce and the affair, I just gave you what you wanted. I didn't do anything but take that silver spoon out of your mouth that I put there for the last 11 years. My only obligation is to my children, not you! (This is when she realized that she was going to have to get a job to support herself. She still hasn't got a job. My temp. support runs out in November, that is when I think all of this will hit her the hardest. When she can't support herself in a fashion that she is accustomed to then we will see how things will fair in wonderland!)

"No, this is not going to hurt the children!" This was said the day after she said that she was scared that the children would hate her for running me out of our home.

And my personal favorite: "He let's me be myself, something you never let me do!" ( I have to agree with her here to a certain extent, I work away from home at least two weeks at a time. I now understand the disruption it was for "daddy to be home" But yeah, he let's her be herself and sooner than later he is going to leave her by herself!
I had always looked forward to that day where I could tell her "I told you so." Today I dread that day because it is already to late for her to come back...

The wayward spouse as you can see have dealt with lies, lies, betrayal, etc. It amazes me to see the statements here, and I bet most of us BS have heard most of them. I realize now that there is a pattern of WS's.

My WS, I heard him say, as well as many of you here, that he loves the OW, and he told me that to my face many times. We hear the famous, I don't love you, but the OP is everything that I wanted.

Would love to see, the WS's and the OP together and have a video of them. Two years later, 5 years later, etc. Marriage is something you have to work on continously. That is another quote I heard many times. In-love marriages you don't have to work on - that is a bunch of crap. All marriages you have to work on. Two people will always have differences, and therefore there will be conflict.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by KindaBlue:
[QB]OK folks, thanks to an inspiration by Raysofhope, let's have a little fun here and compile those famous WS quotes (sarcastic remarks after the quotes are strongly encouraged!!!!!!)

My wife had a very torrid affair on me with one of her coworkers back in '96. She had me take an expensive coat the guy had given her, along with some other things of his and throw them away in the dumpster in front of our Apartment - after she took me to her Boss at work and our Pastor at church, telling me of her Affair in their presence...
Cut to '98 just before our Divorce: "Oh, Harold, I didn't really have that affair - my friend Gwen and I made it up to 'scare you' into becoming a better husband to me." (Yeah, right)
Cheez, do I sound that stoopit??!
LOL, Harold

Yep, it's time for some fun again. You know I am kidding and would **never** really send these to my XW... (or would I??) Heheheeeee.
"Looking back over the years that we've been married, I can't help but wonder... What the hell was I thinking?"
"I've always wanted to have someone to hold, someone to love. After having married you, I've changed my mind."
"I must admit, you brought Religion in my life. I never believed in Hell..'til I met you."
"As the days go by, I think of how lucky and happy I am that you're not here to ruin it for me."
"Thanks for being a part of my life!!! I never knew what evil was before this!"
"Someday I hope to get remarried, but not to you."
"Happy Birthday! You look great for your age... Almost Lifelike and human!
"When we were together, you always said you'd die for me. Now that we've divorced, I think it's time you kept your promise."
"I knew the day would come when you would leave me for my best friend. So here's his leash, water bowl and chew toys."
"We have been friends for a very long time, what do you say we call it quits."
"Ever since the day you left me, I've been so miserable, my dear. I feel almost as bad as I did when you were still here."
"You were such a good wife that if we were on a sinking ship and there was only one life jacket ....I'd miss you terribly and think of you often."
"Your friends and I wanted to do something special for your birthday so we're having you put to sleep."
"Although we both had jobs and worked outside the home, we only needed one vehicle - I drove the car while you flew on your broom to work."
LOL - Laugh at your problems and they don't hurt as much. Laughter got me where I am today, no pain, no resentment, and one of my favourite quotes: "Ya gotta go thru hell to get to Heaven!" And I'm in Heaven with my Wife right now. Take heart - "Love Will Find You" for all the hurting folks reading these Posts.
Peace and Love to all, Harold <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

My favorite (recent) one is my h saying less than a month after confessing to screwing the stripper twice---"I've never cheated on you."

I just looked at him and he actually had the grace to close his mouth and look embarrassed! He's learning.

Ok, I have one to share....

This was six months into our marriage, the first time I caught him and his internet chicks...he was setting up a van/threesome with another couple and I found it and confronted him...

he said...

"it was going to be a foursome, I was going to surprise you!" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />

Let me tell you, I was surprised!! Had never led him to beleive I was interested in that. 18 months later, I found the many threesomes, prostitutes and affairs he had been having for months.

Guess he surprised me with those too!!

Best wishes....it's in their karma now.

Just wondering - I took a Combat Medic Course while stationed overseas in Germany, so I just wondered. Yah, Weird Al is a trip - I've always laughed at his songs.
Isn't it amazing how similar so many of our stories are - as I spend time here and there reading some of the Posts here. I really feel for so many folks here - the hurt, lies, betrayal, it's really sad. I only wish I had known about MarriageBuilders when I was in Divorce Recovery - things sure would have gone a lot easier for me! As it was, the only thing I had was my Family's prayers, and a book by Jim Smoke "Growing Through Divorce" that helped me make it. Otherwise, who knows where I'd be today? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" /> At any rate, I love your quote from ole Bluto in Animal House! That movie was a scream - I still watch it and laugh just as hard the day I went into the Theatre to see it back in '77. A real vintage classic - too bad Belushi isn't still around to keep us laughing. I forgot where I picked up those infamous "cards to send to the ex" - maybe an email joke, can't remember. However, I made up the one myself about riding the broom to work heheheeee. Laughter does help heal the pain and hurt of an ex who is still vindictive, jealous, and bitter, even after 4 years - and who has completely brainwashed our 2 boys more effectively than the KGB ever could have during the height of the Cold War! All three of them hate me and only God knows what her family thinks of me now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="images/icons/blush.gif" /> probably want to take a Contract out on me heheheee. Here's another quote from one of my 'heros' What - Me worry? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> NOT!
May Peace, Laughter, Rest and Closure find everyone here who reads these Posts.

"The whole time I was with him... I was wishing it was you."

This has got to be my favorite that I was told "I am not interested in a relationship with you or anyone else right now"...Interestingly enough she was dating several people (one threatened to commit suicide over her- funny based on time frames I was given that means in about one week this guy was so "into her" that he was going to kill himself if he did not choose her- I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they were dating a bit longer than I was led to believe. The other guy my ex did pick over this guy ended up with her and they bought a house together a few months after our break up.. NICE LINE HUH!!

I have to weigh in on the famous quotes of WW. From my WW:

"I only slept with him after you found out" (about the A)
"We have just become best friends, that's all"
"What I have done to you is horrible, but a judge still will only give you half."
"I'm just running scared"

"it's irrevelent" When I asked WH about OW2

IRREVELENT !!!!

"Yes, I know I am being selfish by allowing this relationship to continue, but you are being selfish and only thinking of yourself when you ask me to end it."

Luci

After reading all the like, totally LAME excuses WSs have said to us BS... I really have to wonder... Were they really serious?? Did they actually think we were STOOPIT enuff to believe their line of horse manure???
DUH!!
I'll say it again DUH!!
Harold
It might actually be funny if it wasn't so tragically sad.
Peace to all, Harold <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="images/icons/smile.gif" />

There weren't any affairs during the marriage (well, maybe he started something toward the very, very end), but as soon as the D was final he was off to the races with other women. He still was maintaining a relationship with me (including intimacy) and therefore didn't want me to know the extent of his 'other activities'.

These are some I heard:

"It's only lunch."

"I am not having sex with anyone but you." (Define sex for us if you would, Mr. Clinton)

"We just work together." (This after I found a Cosmo article on his windshield titled "40 Ways to Please your Man" lfrom his delightful co-worker. Some of the tips included "Go commando when you are out at a bar and whisper to him that you forgot your panties." And, "Look longingly into his eyes as you are giving him head so he will know how much you are enjoying it." - excuse me, but just how can you look into someone's eyes while you have their D*ck in your mouth? My eyes are not on the top of my head! And how do these tips relate to the work they were doing in the office???)

Ok here's one from her of what a boyfriend is, her actual words.

What boyfriends have I had?
Name them. Name the men that I actually dated and was in a relationship with. Don't name to me Internet affairs. Name to me men that I've
actually MET, TALKED TO, AND DATED! You know that's what a boyfriend is right? How could they be my boyfriends if they live somewhere else?

Duh? Duh? Duh? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

As my then w was moving out of the house into an apartment, "to be alone"(it did take om 2 weeks to move in as he didn't want her to be alone.)

She said, "I know you and everybody I work with think I am crazy, but sometimes you just have to be a little crazy!"

I thought dyeing your hair a completely different color or maybe buying a 2 seat sports car when you have a family of four might be considered crazy, but then thats just me.

Here's one...I came across on a VMX on her cell phone, the guy was calling her, honey, baby, sweetheart,sweet thing,etc and said I seeing if you made home ok, (remember its 1:00am Sat morning, she got home at midnight, he's calling 1 hour later)...

I asked her about it, she said:

Whats your problem? Don't you know all normal guys talk like that to married women....Get a life! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="images/icons/mad.gif" />

Said it was a co-worker.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" />

Here's one for the archives.....

WW moves out in April. I find out about WW's 2-year long A in May. WW files for DV in June. I hired a PI to see if A was over. She had told me and everyone else it was, but I was told by Jennifer that with her experience that it wasn't, or my WW wouldn't be so quick to DV. I wanted to be sure if I could salvage our M. I couldn't. The A was still hot and strong.

Well...Our vacation was already scheduled like it always has been for the last week of July. I guess she thought that I would cancel the plans and sit around the house here and sulk for her. I didn't.

After being gone 4 days, the cell phone rings. I answer...

ME: Hello?

WW: Who's taking care of my cats? (The same cats she left 3 months ago, and hasn't asked a word about since}

ME: Don't worry. The cats are being cared for everyday. You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt them.

WW: You are too sneaky. I can't trust you. (Huh?) I can't trust you as far as I can throw you.

ME: What? YOU'RE saying that to ME? I don't think I heard you.

WW: That's right, Mr. CameraMan. YOU can't be trusted. At all.

ME: Listen....The cats are cared for. I gotta run.

WW: I am going to break in and make sure they are OK.

ME: That would be against the court order. I would NOT advise that.

SHE can't trust ME? WTF?

I think the whole shebang was to interrupt the vacation that she didn't think I would take. Especially since she had to sit alone. OM is married with a D and "one in the oven".

She got fooled. And angry. Sort of comical.
