You seemed to hear a lot of "you did" statements too. I got some of these...
"You ruined my happily ever after" "You ruined what I thought I wanted." "You caused me to lose my best friend." "You embarrassed me in the town I work in and went to school." "Your mother ruined any chance of me ever having a relationship with your family again."
And maybe my favorite - W has told me twice to get an attorney and told me two or three times, "I don't have an attorney." It's not like I have a lawyer." "I mean it's not like I have been researching or looking for an attorney."

I've had so many, but the one that immediately came to mind was
"I was content being married to you, but I wasn't happy."
It took all I had not to tell him to look up the meaning of that in the dictionary.

Two months after affair revealed and 5 minutes after getting back from 3 day business trip: ExW- " I want to go to New York for a few days" Me - "with who?" ExW - "why do you have to know??" Me - "we'll, the therapist said it is important to keep me in the know and build trust. also, we are supposed to reconnect. You convinced me to work this out and try therapy. Why don't we go to NYC together?" ExW - "NO.! i want yo go on my own. Me - "with who?" ExW - "just some friends. You don't know them" Me - "but I know all your friends, don't I?" "Who are they?" ExW - "I shouldn't have to tell you! I should have my privacy"
Then, two days later in therapy as the session start, the first words: ExW - "He won't let me go to New York!".

My ex was disgusted at her friend for walking out of his marriage. "They have a child and took vows!". Mind you we weren't married but we were engaged and living as common law. I guess it's different.

Wow 2ndtime...my exW said the exact same thing word for word about our friends and her sister. Within a year of both, she was doing it.
Then a month after that she says, "I want to renew our vows". Then after 10 months of therapy ends it so I asked her why she cried and said she wanted to renew vows, she responds harshly "because I just wanted to get you back for a bit to figure out what I wanted" . Wow.

Last Valentines Day (2013) my W emailed me to thank me for the dozen red roses I sent her. The problem was I didn't send her anything. Later in the day she texted me again, saying it was a parent (female) of one of her children she teaches, that sent them to her. Yeah right: the parent sent a teacher a dozen red roses on Valentines Day, anonymously as well, to thank her for the work she does with the parent's child. More than likely (yeah I know, mindreading) when she got out of work and drove home with the OW (female) she was probably asked where the flowers were. The W still thinking they were from me, left them at work, found out they were from OW, that is when she went into overdrive and started to find some ridiculous excuse to tell like the parent sending them to her.

I have had quite a few of these too over the last few months, its spooky they are all so similar!! I have had the following and in no particular order
"Our marriage has been a sham from day one". I said what about your post on FB a year and a half ago about how you have been married for a wonderful 8 years and cant wait for the rest of our lives together or me having a vasectomy last year because we didnt want any more kids - apparently this was my idea
"We've tried everything" - I said "what about MC, dating, learning forgiveness?" No comment back.
"Everyone deserves happiness"
Even last night during a discussion my wife said "you didnt do anything for me on valentines", i said you had told me two weeks earlier that you no longer loved me and was leaving and pretty much all of the above, she also said she didnt get me anything because she doesnt love me - she managed to keep a straight face whilst saying all of this
