"That's interesting. I've had a couple of people independently tell me that they've read on various online profiles that you describe yourself as a 'single parent'.  I cannot recall one moment in over 22 years that I was not being our children's co-parent. I understand that you are single and that you are also a parent of our 3 children but being a 'co-parent who is single' and being 'a single parent' are very different things"

um well he left a year ago

I think that has to be the craziest statement I've heard in all this!!  Seems like another grasping at the 'I'm not doing anything wrong' straw!

My H said shortly after bd that one of the reasons he was leaving was because the dog was too fat.......

OMG  SF.  I've been reading this and the old thread and some of what they say is just hilarious, weird and obviously some of it's really sad.  In fact all of it's pretty sad even though it can be funny.

Calamity J you hit the nail on the head there - "He used to be an intelligent man"

I think the most bonkers thing my H has done so far was to leave a wedding anniversary card for me along with some champagne.
In the card he'd written that he didn't think it was right to ignore our first wedding anniversary (we've been together 17 years but only married for one)  and that he was sorry that he'd let me down but hoped that I enjoyed the champagne. 
Next to the card was a note asking me if I could get some of his special teabags next time I go shopping 
You just couldn't make this stuff up lol

I thought we could do with a bit of a giggle. Perhaps trying to see  the funny side of the long journey whenever possible.
I don't know about your MLC'er but mine does come out with some corkers at times!

Here's one:
I am learning to drive and will need a car very soon to take me and my dogs to and back from work. I'm opening up a shop.
My dogs are very needy and won't stay home alone without completely wrecking it so this is really the only way for me to work.
Besides, my black lab Suki is almost 10 and suffers with arthritis in her right hip and my other dog Diddy is a bit psychotic and not great walking on the lead and is scared of cars. So I was explaining to my ex today how I could take short cuts through the fields and make the walking journey easier on us 3. Seeing as I can't afford a car right now, I don't have much choice.
But my dear ex, as caring as he is  thought of great solution for me!

One of those:



I think I pulled all those faces at once:

Er....Diddy is cared of cars..... she would love this...
I live at the top of a steep hill on a main road....
My dogs weigh 132lbs together!!!!

Seriously?

Hi Forum,
Would anyone like to share some crazy justifications that their Mlcer uses.
Here's one "this would never have happened if you got up and made me a cup of tea in the mornings".
Strange thing is I did.

Hi jackolar12

My H says having to give up his 'friend' would mean having to get back on the treadmill. Not sure what that means, but.......whatever.

I just posted on another thread that my MLCer said it was because I didn't give him a big 50th birthday party.  He never said he wanted one, but apparently wanted me to dig up a number of people I'd never met or heard of.  He was already involved with OW. When I only did something casual for his b-day, that was the straw that really broke the camel's back for him.
