"I've done everything for this family." -- except stay in it.
"I've been unhappy for years." -- Oh really? Explain the very nice birthday and anniversary notes you wrote to me for those last few years.
"This has nothing to do with the OM. He is just a friend." -- Indeed.
"You don't need to talk about me and our marriage to anyone." -- Clearly she has an exemption because OM knows a heckuva lot about our sitch.
"If I wouldn't have left, nothing would have changed."
"I don't want to live in America!" -- I can see where staring at the TV and four walls in America sucks, but that is precisely what she is doing in Germany?
"I agree to your terms for the divorce" -- Agreement states I have full custody.
"I never agreed to give up custody of my kids!" -- ORLY?

When he first told me he wanted to leave I asked him if he thought there was anything good about me he said "You're good in bed and gorgeous."
What a dork. But, um, as long as we're on the subject, I appear to have, ah, lost your phone number... Remember, when you, um, gave it to me that time? You know, over at that, ah, place?
Honestly. I heard the exact same thing, only in gender reverse.
And 7-8 out of every 10 other lines posted in this thread.
Did I miss the announcement when they were handing these things out or something?
This is an amazing thread. I just stumbled on it while desperately avoiding work. My WAW said half the things in this. We talked about the duplex idea for 2 days (before I found DB). It is very affirming to see the same defensive pattern thrown up time and again.
