"She has had two very troubled marriages, her first husband had flashbacks from Nam and put a gun in his mouth and her second H is an alcoholic and won't go out with her and have fun"...I said good, if she marries you she'll have an egotistical, alcoholic third husband.

Gregg,<P>Thanks. I know my H is sick.. I always think he's "temporaly insane".<P>I'm doing alright and he's miserable and depressed.. that shows who had problems when we were living together. He seems starting to realize that. I just wanted to write down these things here to see how much crazy things he has said. And right now I'm having fun reading them again..<P>True, these are very hurtful things to say, but it's too hurtful, now it's funny. You are so right, right minded people won't even think about these kind of things! <P>Anyway, thanks for your prayers. I really appreciate it... I don't know your story but hope you are doing well [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].<P>Meg

(when I tried to convince him to work things out together)"I feel like I'm missing a great oppotunity"<P>"She doesn't mind me sleeping with you, she cares(when we have) more emotional stuff"<P>"I tell her I still love you"(gosh, what is she thinking?)<P>"(OW is bisexual), now I'm always worried either she goes out with male friend or female friend"<P>"you are always my #1"<P>"I shouldn't be telling you this, but I really wanted to come home..

I will tell her not to come" but next day they are going to meet in Ottawa!<P>Geez!

This is almost comical, but here goes: "I am trying to recover my feelings for you, but I feel sad and hopeless. Whenever I talk to the OM, I feel better". Why not talk to me instead?...I guess she doesn't see the absurdity of her actions.<P>AGG

Pretty good! Is there a school that they go to to learn this stuff?<P>My faves are:<P>During EMR: "She (OW) is a great person, and I care about her as a friend. Don't take out your anger on her."<P>Post EMR, after OW tattled to me: "She's disloyal, and she betrayed me. She's equally to blame in all of this."<P>Oh, whatever! Fickle, thy name is married man having an EMR. Their perceptions change with the direction of the wind.<P>belld

Today my H came over so I asked him if he called Ow and asked her not to come here for thanksgiving. He said,<P>"because we talked till 1:00 am yesterday and she was leving early by bus this morning so I coudln't."<P>I can't go through more hurt anymore. If he wanted her to come why can'T he say so? Instead, he pretended he agreed with me and even said that stuff I said made sense so he was gonna call her to tell not to come. <P>When I got upset he also said: "well, she has been planning this trip for a long time so I couldn'T just say no to her"<P>thank you very much! I totally crashed down so I punched him.. for all of the hurt he caused in the past he was lucky he got only a couple of them. in the past he said when I get violent it meant over. So I told him that what he said in the past, and so this means it's over.<P>I don't feel very well now.. because I threw the last card I had and I knew he wasn't any good for me still it hurts. I don't think he ever want to see me again, and right now I'm so messed up so I can't think of anything.<P>Meg<BR><p>[This message has been edited by MF (edited November 22, 2000).]

Venting time again!<P>(he never wore a wedding ring, because he said that it would bother him for playing)"I would wear a ring next time(when we get married--but WE HAVEN'T GOTTEN DIVORCED YET)"<P>"when we get divorced let's have a divorce party"<P>(after me telling him that I was tired of being lied)"I'm tired of you thinking I'm lying"<P>I hope this is my last post on this thread.. by remembering these things it stops me from moving on my life or focusing on myself..(but I don't know what happens [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com])<P>Meg

I have to say this is a funny post!! First time I've laughed about the affair and how dumb they can sound!<P>My favorite from my WS:<P> - When she told me how how depressed she got when football season was over, I just fell for her!<P>Others:<P> - I care about you a lot, but more like a friend.<BR> - I never had those feelings of romantic love that I had for her with you.<BR> - We used condoms every time (only to find out it was only to catch the cum and not for safe sex...unprotected prior to the big moment!)<BR> - When I found condoms in my nightstand a week after d-day and asked why he put them there, he said "I thought we might need them some day" (Like sex with him was even on my list or that I wanted to use condoms that he had bought for her!!) What a jerk. I flushed them.<BR> - She has a beautiful voice, and oh, what a smile.<BR>

Meg, <P>What happens next is for you only...<P>And you stop wasting your life on the academy award winner for Jerk of the Year!<P>You go, Girl!<P>Inside joke: And maybe, like Julia Roberts (F/G), you'll have that space in your life open for your "Benjamin Bratt". Who knows?!<P>Go onto better things now.<P>Aloha,<P>L

Leaninglife,<P>I'm glad this post brought you some laughs. We all need to laugh at things at the end, huh? I don't know your story, but hope you are doing fine. I think since you know how to laugh I'm not worried too much [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com].<P>Leilana!<P>I posted this web addy on in recovery section, so my posts here are all old. Yes I was wasting my time writing these things last year, but I needed it [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]. And now these posts make some people laugh so it's good I think [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]!<BR>I'm writing you an e-mail tonight [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com]<BR>ok, time for more important stuff than posting about my stbx.. like CLEANING [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com] [Linked Image from marriagebuilders.com])<P>Hugs,<P>Meg
