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.

Here you go...

A few weeks after we separated, X told me that his "biggest fear was getting remarried within a year of us being divorced." Our divorce was final on July 20th...he's getting remarried the 1st weekend in September. Hmmm...

Was this his biggest fear for him.... or you? (that he'd remarry within a year of the divorce... or that you would???)


They are so nuts!

His biggest fear was *HIM* getting remarried within a year.

It's so funny...on the show "Everybody Loves Raymond" Ray's wife, Debra, always says "idiot" (with disgust) when he does something stupid.

All I can think to say about my X is "idiot" (with disgust while rolling my eyes)!

This is too funny, I must contribute.

How about this in a nutshell:

Seperated (for the third time), divorce was final Feb. 15. Fast forward to mid-May, "I have a 6 1/2 month pregnant girlfriend and am schedule to get married in one week. Do you think we can work our relationship out?" Reply "heck no!!!" His reply "OK then I am getting married"

The nerve!!!!! If she only new what she was in for.

Mine wanted out so bad (after almost 20 years), had met some new friends in AA who became his new family. Had a lot to say about how I let myself go, how he was never really attracted to me, he married me because he though he "should" marry someone who wasn't a bimbo. He was signed up for every dating service on line before he moved out, yet says it was MY idea for him to move out. Promised me lots of child support in exchange for getting out free.

As of today, he has only worked about one week in the last month (doesn't get paid if he doesn't work) has been having medical problems and want to tell me every detail, hangs around the house all day eating my food and watching TV, all in the name of spending "quality" time with the kids (who are either out or on the computer when he is around). When my daughter told him to stop eating all our food, he replied "who do you think pays for this stuff?" (PS I work full time and provide HIS medical benefits)

I have had it! I don't understand why he thinks that it is OK to treat me like this. I wasn't good enough to be married to, but I am good enough to provide support and food!

Well, mine isn't so related to the divorce, but to our son, who just finished pre-K in May and is terribly excited about K in the fall...


xh was here for the weekend and took Joey to the Aquarium, along with his family.

To add to the one-liners: "I'll never have another affair" (having another right now)
