fun - stupid things an stbx can say

In the beginning, when I thought (hoped and prayed) we had a chance of sorting things out (silly me! I mean, hey - we were only married for 23 years, were best friends, really liked each other and things under the sheets were pretty good too) I asked if we could have a two year separation to make sure this was REALLY the right thing and to give us both space to really think. My only request with that was that he would not live with 'her' during that time. Hardly unreasonable, I thought.

His response?

'I can't do that to HER!!'

She was cheating too (big surprise). They are welcome to each other although how they have any sort of trusting relationship, I cannot begin to imagine.

Oh and of course the classics:

'I hope we can be friends (right - shall I book us a table for three and we can all share a meal and a nice chat??)

'We've been living separate lives' (Hmmmm, might have something to do with the fact he was GONE all the time??)

And the excuse to end all excuses:

'I can't help the way I feel'

Yea, well, neither can I now. And after everything he's done, it's far from 'amicable'!

I had that one too! What goes thru their minds when they say things like this?

I also had "The only thing I've done wrong is having feelings" Hmm - adultery, lying, betraying your marriage vows, betraying your husband and going on holiday with another man are ail perfectly accptable bahaviour to you then?

I have so many I just don't know where to start but the most priceless has to be about two weeks after he left me and I had found out about his other numerous affairs not including the one that broke us up after 17 yrs.

He txt me and asked me to meet him to "discuss things" which I duly did on neutral ground, we talked for all of about 5 mins when I realised all he wanted to do was try and make me feel sorry for him, because I was such a lying, cheating manipulative bitch - which had been the pattern for about a week - he rang me later and for about 2 weeks after saying that I had hurt him very much because I wouldn't look him in the eyes when talking to him and I must be up to something.

My reply, after listenening to this pathetic drivel for long enough, "never mind that you have shagged half of the female population with a pulse and still breathing for that last 10 yrs, never mind that you have accused me of some awful things since you left, none of which are true and also never mind that you were a shit shag with a small dick and you have the personality of pond scum, tell me why I would want to look in your eyes when all I want to do is spoon them out and stamp on them!!

Funnily enough he never mentioned it again he just found other ways to insult me!!

My tbx is classic he said :-

'I've made sure that you will get half of nothing when you divorce me'.

Can nothing be halved?

He was full of resentment for me because I kept on forgiving him, so it was my fault because I made it too easy for him to behave badly.

One day he may realise that he has been the one leading his own life.

Reminds me of when the nurses went on strike a few years ago... the placards read "6% of nothing is nothing, we want 10%".

Fab

I got the crass line "I love but am not in love with you".

Did not and still do not get that one when the next line was if we did not have a son in common she would not speak to me again.

It mean't nothing to me she said, forgot i had it when i found a valentines card from someone else in her bag two months after the event.......

STBX's aren't they great!!!!!

Mine was:

"you have ruined MY lifestyle" in the same conversation as "that was MY money" when discussing my personal bank account after I left and the rent I'd paid out so I had somewhere to live and our children can come over.
