My favorites are of the "I am doing you a favor" variety.
For example, "This is really best for everybody. You deserve to find true love.".
It's absolutely hysterical to think about how drop-dead serious somebody in an affair can be about "finding true love" until the wheels come off of their affair.

Au contrair. When stbx eluded to this being right for us (the D) I agreed and told HIM that I was happy because I saw his decision as him doing ME a huge favor
Antlers, your story is very touching- and sad. What's impressive though is that even through the sh*t storm you kept on and worked on yourself. You're a better person, you've learnt a lot through this experience and while the results are not what you wanted it wasn't all in vain. They say things happen for a reason even when we don't understand them at the time. So who knows maybe in 5 years from now you'll look back at this experience and find that this really did launch you on a path that was better than the one you were on before.
