My WAW said the samething. "The last thing I want is to have a relationship with someone else." The next day she was caught in bed with the OM by my best friend...... Another good one: "I feel bad for the next guy I get involved with because they are going to have their hands full with me for what you put me through in our relationship."
This is not really about the affair but this is something my W started saying awhile ago (before the A was known to me) and recently repeated it during all this.
"I will never go to another Brat Pitt movie again!"
Of course in reaction to what HE did to his W of the time Jennifer Anniston. Um...honey..shouldn't Brad be your hero now?
Reading these has cheered me immensely - not laughing at your pain, but at how stupid everybody else's S's are too. So far, my favorite from my highly educated H, who is also a lawyer(!): on my birthday, which is also the anniversary of our engagement 9 years ago: "I didn't choose to do things in this order" meaning he apparently didn't choose to unzip his pants, sleep with other woman, then pursue actual relationship with OW after the fact of adultery, and then lie to me WHILE WE ARE IN MARRIAGE COUNSELING to go spend a weekend with her. Boy, he is the victim here, isn't he? also, that same night: "how bad are you going to make me hurt you before you let me go?" Yes, yes, again, he is just a pawn in this drama. Who would have thought that I, the faithful, loving, divorce busting, wife, am actually making HIM hurt ME? What is even better is what his mother said about these statements (she does not know about A, only that M is in trouble.) Perhaps that is another amusing thread - what other people have to say about our crises and about DB'ing in general. Anybody heard the word "doormat" more than once? Anyway, I'm sure things will only get stupider as he continues to self-destruct, so hopefully this thread will stay alive for updates. Erin
"There is noboby else out there that would ever compare to you, but I can't leave him right now!!!!!!!!!! "
This kind of sounds like something my H said to me 6 months ago. He told me that I was a wonderful wife and mother and his EA had nothing to do with me.
And he can't end it with her.

The night we had sex before she was caught in bed with him the next night: "You know I hate sex, but if it makes you feel better let's go, I could really not have sex again. That is how much I do not like it!"
After calling him in front of me after returning from a trip to CA for a friends wedding... "Does it make you mad I called him in front of you?" (Uh no honey why not just invite him over for a quickie, I will watch the kids!!!!!)
I pulled this one out of my personl journal...
"He reminded me so much of you, I guess that is why I was attracted to him." WHACK on the head with my hand!
A classic ....
"I know what kind of guy he is, all the girls I set him up with said he was a jerk just looking for sex after a few dates"
Thank you very much, I will be here all week. Please tip you waiters and waitreses! Ba dump bump!
Through honest giving of my love I will recieve 10 fold in return.
Just because a person does not love you in the way you want, does not mean they do not love you!
