Come one, come all and let's at least get a chuckle from our pain! We begin a new game: Top Ten Weirdass Things
I'll go first as I just posted this to whatsis: Whatsis, buddy, I think I have another one to add to the top 10 list...weirdass things my freaky spouse has done:
goes on her "date/sleepover" last night, calls home around 7pm to tell me to take daughter outside to "look at the moon"...lovely harvest moon, but do you call home from a date and tell your partner to do that? WTF???????
Where is your world? How is your planet? Please ask the Queen of the Aliens if you can come home now.

My H's male friend is quite sick (nothing life threating - typical "I feel sorry for me" kind of stuff men do - lol) so he picked him up some meds etc. and went over to spend some time with him
WTF!!!! I can't remember in the whole 18 years we've been married that he has EVER gone out of his way to take care of ME

I have more than one but will give you my best. Calls me to complain that I forgot to put diapers in the luggage of our girls.... I had forgot.... after all I am human! I told him to go and buy some!!! I should of send just send OW to go get them.
Me 31 H 36 2 kids (D2,D4) Status: enjoying my life all by my big self!!!;) "Life is short eat desert first!!"
Me: "Why did you leave me." H: "I just get this feeling we're not quite right for each other." Me: "How?" H: "Well, you don't like buyng really expensive clothes." Me: "Ok, what else?" H: "I don't like animals much." Me: "Ok, what else?" H: "I can't think of anything else. I'm just looking for my soulmate." Me: "I don't believe in soulmates" H: "That's another reason!"
(For the record, I might like animals, but I don't have any pets and my bedroom isn't exactly covered in bunny posters. I have a fairly average female interest in animals. I also have a few fairly expensive clothes, but H likes to buy $800 suits which I consider a bit OTT.)

In a counselling session once, I was explaining how if we break up, that means I lose contact with his family and don't get to see my nieces and nephews grow up. He said that his family love me, and would want to keep in touch with me, and there's no reason I couldn't still see them and vice versa. I pointed out that the only times we really get to see them all are for things like birthday parties and mother's day, etc. I asked if he thought we would both be able to go along to such events, just sit at opposite ends of the table and not speak to each other, and not have anyone else feel uncomfortable about it. I even threw in the option of him taking along a new girlfriend to such an event, and did he think we'd all be able to get along just fine as though nothing was weird at all.
His reponse: Yeah...maybe.
Delusional much? I don't remember if I laughed when he said it, but I totally should have.
I'd also like to add a little something I just mentioned in another thread. Along with all the usual cliches he trotted out when we were initially separated, he even included, (and I hope you all love this as much as I do):
"No matter what happens, you're my best friend and always will be."
Says he who is now wanting to cut contact with me completely and for good.

My whole sitch is a Top List. In fact my CL (Crazy Lady/wife) will come up with about one a day.
Today she tells me that she doesn't think she trusts an outfit I picked out for a dance for our D. Then when I ask if she wants to get one herself she says she trusts me.
That's just today.....I'm sure I'll have more by the end of the day (BTW we only see each other about 1 a week and don't talk much)

Ophelia - I got that one too, how I could still see his family and how, once I move out, he's going to bring his d8 (my step-daughter) round so we can see each other. Yeah - pull the other one.

I am inviting you to a shovel party. BYO Shovel and we swing wild to work off our agressions. Here's another winner:
Spouse decides we should have new refrigerator (ok, but if I had just one choice I'd choose sex...10 months is a long time) But no sex for me it's the deep freeze... So we're looking at bottom freezers and she says: "you have to bend over too much and as we get older bending will only get harder"...Why don't I sometimes say the things I think: "is the committment I hear?" jeeze...
She's gone "out" for a while, but "will be back later". translation will be home to sleep in her own little space. Ladies and Gentlecreatures, I think the end may be in sight for me. I honestly don't know how much more insanity I can take. I fear what taking a stand will mean to our daughter but I fear what NOT taking a stand will mean to our daughter. What good am I if I'm a basket case? Jeeze!
And just think tomorrow I can go pick my kid up from school and see OW picking her kid up for the millionth time. Won't that be pleasant? Losing it...losing it fast...want to scream...going to bed early instead.

Stubborn... I wondered if I recognized you. Now I know I do and I still chuckle over your story about getting in the wrong side of your truck (am I right?)...
Sorry things haven't improved for you. I love your sense of humor. When i get pissy, I scream in my head at the top of my 'voice' "SH*TF*CK"!!!!! Try it... it helps.
Hugs to you and prayers for you. Will support whatever you need to do for yourself and D. Julie
Okay, I have one. My Brother started sending me his funny emails instead of sending them to my cheating H. H says: "See how your are hurting me? Your brother is sending you emails instead of me?
My response is, well don't you think a brother should support a sister whose H has had an affair? He got mad. H's reaction really confused me. LOL
Another one, when H realized he would not have medical insurance that I pay for when we divorce, he said "You need to do research and find me medical insurance since I will fall off your policy." I told him he will have to manage that himself.
Or this one, H gave his stepmom an ultimatum. She needed to choose him or I. Her and I are really close and she will not take sides. Later he apologized but I felt like I was in grade school again.
I would laugh if it weren't so sad at the same time.
