I had one like that too:

'I feel terrible that I betrayed the OM's trust'

[ When I revealed that I had read some of their emails to each other ]

[whatever]

I've found someone else

i don't love you anymore

i don't want to be married or to have kids or to have any responsibilities

it is what it is

I'm sorry

it's not that bad

i admire the OW strength

i understand

[BraveNewWorld]

Wow ... I had 'it is what it is' too.

And I particularly didn't like that one ... I don't like that expression at all.

In the end, I said ... 'it isn't what it is ... or it is what it isn't - because this just doesn't add up'

When my H "broke up" with OW last year....he said
I feel bad for what I did to OW
It kills me to think I could have broken up HER familly and HURT HER kids

Never has he expressed this about ME and OUR KIDS and OUR FAMILY

They're NUTZ

[Chloe1977]

I hear you there, Still.

"He still says that I caused all of this.....I guess if I hadn't kept asking him about his feelings, he would never have gone through MLC.  "

Yeah, I guess we are supposed to believe that because we care about what they are feeling that we are the cause of their insanity. Sounds a little "insane" to me. I can't count how many times my H said this. So now I don't ask as much. I ask one time if he's okay or what's wrong and if he responds with nothing, I leave it alone. Wouldn't want to "push" him into deeper MLC.  LOL

[LifeGoesOn]

"Our relationship(A) is open and honest."

That drives me nuts. H would not tell her when he saw me...and there was hell to pay when she found out.

After hearing this, again, I asked him if they were so honest with each other, did he tell her that he loves me, that he misses me, and all the other lovely things he would tell me? Wow, that really confused him. 

[LettingGo]

LGO, my husband does the same thing... claimed he was honest with OW and TRYING to be honest with me. I called him on the fact that "how does she feel about you still being in love with your wife" and variations on that theme many times... clueless! He has even laughed about her when with me... as we were going on a "date" and I asked him how that would "go over". He lies to her about SOME things, like if he's staying in a hotel when he visits the kids, but tries to tempt me to stay overnight with him.  :oThe sad thing is, he probably acts the same way about me when he's with her. What a creep.

[Voyager]

Little vent here

The one I hate the most is "I understand" implying a sort of omnipotent godlike knowing. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH I hate that......

[Shantilly Lace]

Oh yeah I hate that one too

[justkeepmoving]

I hate the "I'm sorry" with no real meaning behind it.
