I also got a kick out of watching him run for the phone when it rang as the affair was ending...I simply looked at the caller ID, and said "Nope, not HER."...got a puzzled look when I laughed and walked off.  LOL!!

Hee hee...

They are SO dumb about what they do to try and hide their wrongs. LOL!!

Just about as clever as a 4 year old with a hand in the cookie jar with crumbs on his mouth sayin' "what cookies?"

There were times I laughed myself into hysteria when I would think about how stupid he was...but the Lord never got onto me about it; just laughed with me...and we both went on.

Humor is a wonderful tonic for everything. Like sugar, it helps the medicine go down!

The funniest thing my H has developed with his MLC is his, ahem, bathroom problem. He has to go sooo much! His phone even alerts him to his need to go! The phone rings and all of sudden the need to go becomes most urgent! LOLol Poor guy, he needs some fiber!!

[trusting]

LGO, my H also seemed to have a lot of "stomach problems" (his words) for a few months there.  Yup, I thought that was a good name for her, too.

I've been watching that show Two and Half men. It is like watching MLC TV!
The one I saw tonight, Charlie's mother married her second husband. He had a MLC and left for a younger woman. They are now at his funeral and the younger woman got left for even another younger woman. WIfe #3. Of course Charlie decides to hit on Wife #3(the widow) who is younger than he is.

Its never ending.

LGO - you make me laugh!  Thanks, I needed that.  When I DO see my H, his need isn't to go to the bathroom, it's to take out the trash or recyclables - ha!

When it comes to blaming, Mel can blame OW, this reminds me of Adam and Eve. Exactly, Adam blames Eve while Eve blames the serpent and it just goes round and round. So are they both to blame, in my opinion YES. One is as wrong as the other so hopefully Mel knows better.

And I am so glad if the OW gets half of his spoils, just to teach him a lesson.

I listened last night and it sounds to me like he is disgusted with himself for being with her and wants to blame her. However, it's his weakness. Some racial slurs thrown in - nice. Hope he loses his career over those sentiments... in any case, I just thought he sounded like a hate filled man entirely and through and through. He is to blame for what he did. In his situation, I put a LITTLE (slightly) less blame on the girl because he has so much money, power and prestige that a social climber like her would have found him almost irresistible. However, she's still responsible for her part.

OW/OM does NOT deserve ANY of your energy of thought, or even the "fantasies" of confrontation...when you allow your mind to dwell on the OW/OM, you give him/her POWER over YOU...and it can lead to being VERY bitter.
 
I've found that as long as I held onto the thoughts of revenge, otherwise; it was HURTING ME, NOT THEM.

Learn to let go, forgive OW/OM....and STOP fantasizing about things that you KNOW aren't going to happen.

I needed to see this today. It's what I need to do. This bitterness eats me up inside. I want to be better than that.

But as for fantasizing about things that aren't going to happen, has anyone see the Meryl Streep film "It's complicated". She has an A with her ex H, OW (now W) finds out, and she ends up dumping ex H for a new man. Total revenge, wonderful (but only a fantasy).

Anyone notice that Tiger Woods shot 18 over par this weekend.
I was listening to ESPN this morning and they said, it is more than just his golf game.
His life is a mess.
He has a lot of growing up to do.
They asked him if he was practicing enough and he said,
I am spending time with my children, that is the most important thing right now.

So at least he is trying to reconnect with his children.
This is a long process.
He won't play well for at least another year.

I guess his bomb drop was last Thanksgiving when Elin hit him with the Golf Clubs in the driveway.

It seems like there are a lot of men in the media who are having what would be considered early midlife crisis.  They seem to be in the 30ish age range.  My H is young too.  Tiger Woods, Jon Gosselin, Tiki Barber.  If you read their stories they all had some clear triggers.  Tiger's was probably his dad's death.

[trusting]

I believe Jon Gosselin's dad died not a couple of years ago also.
