Don't be confused. Mr. Wonderful is my XH. And before you think it's a nice moniker, it isn't. He was named for that dumb doll that you used to see 10+ years ago in places like Bed, Bath & Beyond... the doll whose string you pulled and he uttered platitudes like, "You're so awesome! No wonder I love you!" or "I just want to cuddle tonight" just general crapola. That was my XH for a really long time. Rather than be emotionally honest, I got the guy, who, on the outside said really nice things to me. The original problem was that his actions spoke otherwise. So I gave him that moniker. My snarky side came out in the early days.
But he actually is a nice guy. And we have 13 years of this behind us now. Plus we're both getting old and either just forgetting stuff or choosing to do so.
