had given himself a swollen purple toe from kicking a wall while aiming at dog a month earlier

How perfect!  Hope it hurt him a lot!  Can't stand any abuse towards animals.   

He was never abusive before, wouldn't have crossed his mind...guess that goes with the 180 on aggression where he punched a hole in the wall when he had kids and the stuff the kids keep saying about him threatening them and telling them to shut up. They've sobbed many a time saying they miss "cuddly" daddy.

What about "I Dont Want to Turn Into My Parents"

"Do you think I am coming back to you? Just checking you are not waiting.  I am not.  I am moving in with OW."

He was devastated when our cat had to be put down just before I moved back to our home.  He had bought me the cat when we moved into our first house together - the symbolism wasn't lost on him.  He wept and wept.

Wow this whole discussion on pets is very interesting.  That was one of the reason's I got annoyed with H before he left.  He told me that we would never own dogs again.  I told him that it was a joint decision and if he told me I couldn't have them without consulting me, I would go and get one without consulting him.  Long story short, he hated them.  Now, not so much.  In fact, when he wants to get in my good books, he cuddles Harvey.  Harvey is like 

They seem to be a good indicator of where his mind is at.  Who would have thunk it??

My cat bit my h really hard.  He was playing way too rough with her [he used to be so sappy with the cats] & she, being the entitled little $%#@ that she is, wouldn't tolerate it so, she bit him.     Small victories of the lbs.

What about "I Dont Want to Turn Into My Parents"

I got, you make me feel like my parents made me feel (basically I wanted him to earn some money because we were burning through our savings whilst he set up a business that didnt pay him any money for two years) we had a 6 year old and a 6 month old at the time which meant I couldn't go out and earn more money.

I got one tell if if you've heard this one

In an email w states" I truly understand the hurt I've caused you. I do and always will love you, differently but care about you and what happens to you all the same.....I believe one day you'll find the happiness you deserve. Because you deserve beautiful moments and people in your life..."

Yeah, thanks for telling me how to be happy....I think I can manage that one on my own.

[phantomstep]

Ok, I have one too, wonder if anyone heard anything like this.
This has to do with W brother who had an affair for a year before admiting to it:

"When I found out how brave my brother was to go after what he wanted, I thought that I can do the same and be happy "

....umm, really?? You were inspired by your brothers affair that devastated everyone in the family, including you??
How is this positive and inspirational??.... did I miss something??...

[toughtimes]

Phantom step that one is frightening!

My h said; I'm not having an affair, I wouldn't do that to myself let alone you, we have a code.

Hmmmmmmm!

[Fizzy]

Yes, I find that the hypocrisy which seems to come hand in hand with MLC and what they have berated us for is outstanding.

Yup.  Kids just told me that H and OW are "disappointed in me"... 

I just kinda stood there with my mouth hanging open.

It's not often I'm left lost for words but the degree of hypocrisy in that statement given what they've done to us over the past year just left me speech less...that they wouldn't/couldn't compare my very minor "crime" (in their eyes only!) Vs what they've done is just mind boggling.  Only in MLC.
