Gosh, reading these boards and many other affairs/divorce boards it really is striking the exact same one-liners our spouses/STBX's use. I think I have heard them all, I am gonna post the ones I heard and would like to see others that you have heard, there is a definite "language" that they learn, its like all cheaters are all all sharing the same brain:
"I need space, you are not giving me space"
"I need to breathe"
"I dont feel as though I have done anything wrong, I have never given you a reason NOT to trust me!" - It was this statement that truly revealed her BP to myself and the therapist.
"You always think in Black and White, I want to live in GREY for now. If you ask me RIGHT NOW to make a decision you are going to get BLACK."
"I feel like you are my FATHER, not my husband"
"I want to see changes in YOU"
"I dont want to give you false hope"
"I didnt say I want a divorce but I dont see another way, I am not going back there"
"I have nothing but resentment for you"
"YOU deserve better"
"The kids will be better off"
"We are so much healthier apart" - Since or seperation she has lost her job, is on Seroquel, Klonopin and Effexor. She has already received one eviction notice and has lost 40 lbs, and claims severe depression.
*This is all in a span of a few months I have been told this garbage, what are some one liners you have heard (I have prolly heard them too just have forgotten)
