Lines you've been fed and devoured... (or spit up when he/she wasn't looking)

[confusedinkansas]

:lmao:I'm a GREAT DAD...(his screen name even said so)

I could never hurt my kids.......(who by the way were ALREADY GROWN & ALL BUT OUT OF THE HOUSE)

 

(side note: His wife didn't have any trouble doin' it to him.....she had an affair & left his sarry @ss.)

 

 

Oh, Here's my favorite from him: I'm not a homewrecker. I won't just ask you to leave your family.

 

I love FUN THREADS.............Thanks!

[Spark1111]

Hell, I loved the guy too! I am still with the guy! And with the exception of his "affair years," he never lied to me either.

 

If I can still find some comic relief in all the past nonsense, I think that is a great thing!

 

Does he? No, surely not. Does his former OW? Jeez, I hope so.

[White Flower]

I look back at my past relationships and I see their strengths and weaknesses. Never would I participate in this kind of thread about "lines my exSOs fed me". I loved them for whom they are, however imperfect. They said things that kept me hanging on. They were not feeding me lines, this was where they were at, and I chose to stay. The pros were greater than the cons. Until one day the cons were greater than the pros, and then I left.

Oh, I have certainly forgiven the lies and to the point that MM is VERY open now about anything and everything. His honesty is NOW one of the most amazing things to me.

 

But I DO have to laugh about the past. Otherwise, I'd be buried in disgust.

[EyesOpened]

If only we'd met 10 years ago, we'd be together/I'd have moved in by now...

We (xMM & his W) haven't had sex in 2 years

I sleep in the spare room

I can't hurt my kids

It's not my wife, I won't leave my kids

I fantasize about you when I have sex with my wife

 

that's all that comes to mind right now but there are tons more. These were all spontaneous unprovoked emissions on his part

 

Wow - those were all the ones I heard too, except for the last one as he claims to never sleep with his wife. Me: "How come your are having an affair, no sex?" Him with very sad and pathetic feel sorry for me look on his face: "Yes, My C*** just gets wasted and ignored baby" (hum - wonder why he felt the need to have a vasectomy then when he was only sleeping with me and my tubes are tied....)

Also, my favorite is when they feed you all this crap (they want to be with you, understand, I have no secrets) then cat is out of the bag, they have been caught (BUT still try to see you without giving you the whole story) and tell you things such as you knew my situation blah blah

 

Another favorite one was...

 

Your so good in bed... I really love you, but I love f****** you =)

 

Again I never lie to you!!! lol okay...

 

Or you know its only been you.

[ladydesigner]

Oh yeah I forgot this one and alg24 you reminded me of this one, thank you:

 

This was the day he ended things with me:

 

" I don't think I can do this anymore, my feelings for my girlfriend ended up being stronger than I thought (ouch:sick:) but I still want to f**k you."

 

....um....yeah right:sick::sick:

Great post Spark!

 

Some of 'em want to fool you

 

Some of 'em want to use you

 

Some of 'em are deeply in love but just can't xyz

 

Some of 'em really go through transformations that mean that what they said no longer counts. Some of these transformations are a good thing for them, if not you.

 

And laughter really helps, but on this thread it isn't the laughter of berating others that appeals to me, it is the self irony for getting caught out in your heart by one or more of the above 'some of 'ems'!

[moaningmyrtle]

But this kind of thing happens all the time on LS - like your "Reformed OW" thread

 

...

 

Thankyou for saying this Anne. There a several regular posters who do this to the specific BWs of their situation. Funny but some of these are the same posters who avoid posting to this type of thread or who express disapproval that this type of thread exists. It's inconsistent to complain of bullying absent MM but to remain silent when posters you more strongly identify with, do the same thing to absent BWs.

 

I'd be happy to provide examples except it would probably provoke some complaint to the mods and I'd get suspended again.

[fooled once]

GREAT THREAD!!!!

 

If you don't want to participate - then don't. But no need to come in and have an attitude about it. Anne, I wholeheartedly agree with your posts.

 

I think in MANY relationships - there are many hurtful times - whether it is friendships, family relationships, work relationships, etc.

 

Sometimes, finding humor is one of the best ways to heal from tragedy. Even at my niece's memorial service when she died, my brother (her father) brought up some of the things she did (when she was bad) and it made us all laugh. He was using those instances to help him with his grieving and it would have been pretty bad if someone would have stood up and told him how to deal with this grief.

 

**********

 

Some LINES used.......

 

"I miss you more than I can tell you."

 

"We WILL be together...just give me a little more time".

 

"It makes me so mad to think of you being with someone else" -- said by the man who still lived with his wife and I wasn't even dating -- he was referring to my past

 

So many more...... but many are a repeat of what so many others have already posted.

 

Thanks for posting this thread to lighten things up. Pain, betrayal, broken promises are devastating ... and every now and then we need to break up that sorrow with laughter.

[Just a stone's throw]

MM

That's what the *** and $$$ are for. Go for it girl!!

 

We all know what you mean!

[NoIDidn't]

Me: I want to go out to eat tonight.

 

Him: Okay.

 

Me: What do you have a taste for?

 

Him: Anything, as long as its in a city she won't visit or have friends that might recognize me.

 

We often went out in public regardless of whether someone that knew her would see us. But this particular night, he was worried about being recognized.

[Just a stone's throw]

FO - Glad that you and others are finding this useful. I, for one am really having a good day reading all of your posts! Thank you!

[BlueeyedJonesy]

:lmao: LadyD, "I love you like a fat kid loves cake":lmao: It doesn't get much better than that line..thats freaking hilarious. I find it good that you ladies can laugh about this stuff now..

[NoIDidn't]

From my H following D-day:

 

"I will give you one year to get your revenge. After that. I will consider it cheating" (I laughed at him, the nerve, thinking he could give me permission AND a deadline when I gave him neither! LOL)

 

"I don't know what I want just yet (regarding the marriage). But I do know that I am NOT sleeping on the couch."

[NoIDidn't]

Thank you, Anne.

 

Ok, this isn't the funniest or best line I got, but the most hurtful (and eventually most helpful) one:

"Im with her because I have to be, I'm with you because I want to be. But I can love two people at once."

He did me a favor with the "two people" line. It was my signal it was time to say byebye.

 

There IS a script.

 

I got that one too.

 

Each time I got these lines, I walked though.

 

I was just dumb enough to come back. Each time thinking that I could keep my feelings at bay.

[NoIDidn't]

If I could just mix some of your sexual freedom and tomboyishness with her class and debutante-like mannerisms, I'd have the perfect woman!

 

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[NoIDidn't]

BARF.

Why not just ask you why you can't be Donna Reed, Jenna Jameson and Suze Orman all rolled into one? (maybe not Suze, she's gay.)

 

LOL. Well, mayBE Suze. He was into that kinda thing. LOL. Now THAT might have tipped the scales in my favor.

 

Narcissists (he was/is diagnosed). Gotta love them!

[one of billions]

Several lines I've heard over time:

 

 

“I’d trade her for you in a minute but….”

 

“If we’d met x years ago we’d be together all the time.”

 

“If you were my wife I would…..for you.”

 

“You know, I’m not like a “cheater” cheater.”

[Just a stone's throw]

if i could just mix some of your sexual freedom and tomboyishness with her class and debutante-like mannerisms, i'd have the perfect woman!

 

:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

 

 

nid - omg!

[Just a stone's throw]

That could be the start of a new thread - If your MM could take 3 people and roll them into one to make you the perfect woman, who would they be?? I think I have it and their similar to your choices JT - Jenna, Suze (for her money smarts he wasn't into the gay thing but loved Suze) and Paula Abdul (because she's crazy hot). I should have known with those choices - puleeeez...

 

Just TJ'd my own Thread!

[her_halo_slipped]

Thank you, Anne.

Jthorne...your bye bye line has just reminded me of the one I was fed. It was MY cue to get the hell out of there.

 

He said on HIS anniversary " I feel so guilty lying to my wife about making time to see you".

 

The most ridiculous thing about that was : I had not seen him in three months and in the last six months I had seen him once WTF......it certainly was the line that ended it all.

[Spark1111]

Hahahaha!

 

Former betrayed spouse here, and I am having fun on this thread, so I will keep it going:

 

Him: "We were 'just friends.' What's the matter? Friends cant attend my father's funeral?"

 

(Me: Uhmm...no. Not friends you have been f*****g for a year and a half!)

 

"I thought I could control it but it just got outta hand."

 

(Me: Are you kidding? Thousands of text and cell minutes, spending like a drunken sailor on limos, trips, gifts? You were outta control. Why are you still here?)

 

"She asked me to help her with her son."

 

(Me: That is very noble...When did you give yourself permission to f**K the mother????????????????)

[Just a stone's throw]

Spark (I see how you got your name) - You think well on your feet! I usually come up with those snappy responses way after the conversation is over!! Thanks for sharing!

[JoyDevine]

I'm convinced now - "I'm staying for the kids" is not a line. It is not an excuse but a REASON.

What decent, loving man would want to leave his kids if there is any possible way that he can keep the family together? (meaning he and the wife get along ok)

[Spark1111]

Because that man is not thinking what is in the best interests of those children? What? Being a good papa means handing over a paycheck?

 

Get real!

 

Also, when in the midst of the affair, most men begin to resent the kids along with the wife because they PREVENT the MM or MW from being with the AP. I lived it. I know.

 

If the greatest gift a man can give his children is to love their mother and treat her with respect, there is NO WAY to justify his affair.

 

It deprives his family of his time, attention and respect, and his total emotional investment in them as a unit. Mom feels the emotional distancing and the lack of attention and affection and grows...lonely, moody, and depressed but doesn't know why.

 

It is smoke and mirrors and one of the best excuses a cheater can give. It makes him look oh-so-noble in the eyes of his OW and keeps her from demanding a full-time relationship so as to "not hurt the kids."

 

It's a perfect excuse! Why do you think it is used so often? Because it works so well....
