my ex has said some stupid things

I'm going through a divorce after 20 years of marriage. I am finally not listening to his bologna. It's therapeutic for me to list off the stupid things he has ever said or done, so I'm starting a blog. I would love to hear your stories too, please email me some of the dumb things your ex has said to you, and if it's ok I relate your stories too.

For example, when I found out about his relationship with his "friend" and I told him I was divorcing him, one of his dumb responses was, "by the way, I think I have prostate cancer" He hadn't been to the doctor in 9 years and he still hasn't been to the doctor since last August. I didn't buy his attempted manipulation!!

Please tell me your stories.

Oh I have a great one!!

The night that I found my stbx's car in my former best friends neighborhood, they BOTH denied that he was there and when I asked him where he was he responded with..... "I was sleeping in the field nearby." (He had been telling me for weeks that he had been sleeping in his van.) When I asked why, of all the places in the city he could park, he was in HER neighborhood he replied with... "I like to park fairly close to your house so that I can be available if you need me."

My God, he must think I am an idiot! It *is* almost comical when you think about it!

Thank you for sharing! That is a good one.

Here's another one courtesy of my ex:

I gave my ex chance after chance to make our marriage work. When I had finally reached the end of my rope and told my ex it was over for good and he had a week to sign the divorce papers. He called me and said, "I won't have any other friends, I'll erase all the phone numbers in my phone, cause you know if we get divorced I'll be $600 in the whole every month." Be still my heart. He wonders why I didn't take him back.

It's so absurd, it is funny.

Oooh, ooooh, I have one!

After leaving me and his 3 young children and moving in with his idiot girlfriend and filing for divorce, he decides to try to justify the whole thing by using a Bible verse. He says to me, "Well, in the Bible it says that it's OK to get divorced in cases of adultery." I told him, "You idiot, that means I could divorce YOU, not the other way around! If you are going to quote the Bible, at least get it right!"

Some people will do and say anything to justify their stupidity...

oh my,

I guess their brain really is in their pants.
That's unbelievable.

Here's another one from my ex:

I was in labor with my first child, and I was in intense pain, because I had decided to go "natural", no drugs. (boy was I wrong) My husband at the time was trying to keep me calm and he said, "I know how you feel, does it hurt as much as a broken leg". Stupid!

My husband can't take responsiility for anything. Here are some of the stupid and sometimes cruel things he has said.

"I didn't have a lot growing up and I liked buying things. I couldn't tell you about the $55,000 of debt because you're tigth with money.

"I thought about it and the reason why I never spent time with our infant son was because he was always around you"

"My son is the most important thing to me"

Here's one:

When confronted about the OW, my former said "I think I need to find myself". I mentioned that most people who are looking for themselves start seeing a therapist not one of the assistants in their office (later when relaying this story to my best friend, she responded "You should have asked him if he thought his was lost down her PANTS!" That put it in real perspective!

I have a really good one-

It wasn't a date because we paid dutch. They went together alone to a bar, but because they paid dutch it wasn't a date! oh yeah, and they are just friends they aren't dating! That's his story and he's sticking to it. He also has said that he spent a lot of time with the kids. I would like to know when that happened. It must have been in his other life!

One liner stupid things:

1. Trust Me
2. I promise
3. Just tell them
4. We’re just friends
5. I’ve got to work
6. I only had a couple beers
7. I still love you
8. Because I love you I'm giving you the divorce.

Does anyone have anymore one liners their ex's have said?

Here's my blog so far:

STBX has a few zingers:

"Not much will change because I will be here every day after work to work out, eat, shower and then go home at night so I don't have to sleep with you." i couldn't even respond to that one.

"we will always be a close family and you are my best friend and I don't want to lose you." live in fantasyland much?

"i love you dearly and feel incredible affection for you, but I want a divorce because YOU should have more passion in your life that I'm not willing to give." what an idiot.
