One wacky thing she said! I aked her why she wanted a divorce a while back. She said You took me to this Pizza place too much. IMy mouth must have dropped open when looking at her because she was quick to point out " well there were other reasons" I get a good chuckle some days even know it is sad for many involved.
MLC can make you say WOW! REALLY!
And that is EXACTLY what I advise people to say in those (and some other) situations: Just look at your spouse incredulously, shake your head, pause for effect and say "Wow. Just wow." And walk away.
My wife told her parents that she was leaving me because of two primary marital complaints:
1. "He spends too much time on that damned computer!" Now, this isn't some gaming addiction I have, where I go in a home office on a desktop computer and not spend any time with my wife. On most evenings, we would each sit in our family room at home, on opposite couches about 6 feet away from each other, and I'd do things on my laptop while we often watched a TV show together.
2. "He's always at those damned ballfields!" I coached our sons' youth baseball teams, so we would typically have one game and one practice per week. Nevermind that even when I WASN'T coaching, my wife and I would both attend all of our sons' games, and I would usually take him to practice and stay there during.
"That's it?" her parents asked her. "That's why you want this other guy, and want to end your marriage? There must be something else."
"No, that's pretty much it," she told them. "He doesn't pay attention to me."
