A few months after BD, actually on the way back from MGC, W told me that I was too good looking, and next time she wanted a 'odd' looking person, she told me this with a big smile on her face while bobbing up and down her seat like a fourteen year old..... You can't make this stuff up.

Is not normal that someone live with one spouse 25 years.

Got told I was too good.

Law professor- the motorcycle exchange brought tears to my eyes. Oh my, thank you- what a release of emotion. Still have tears in the corners of my eyes.

Anybody ever get "accused" of something that was actually a positive thing?  I will always remember my H telling me I was "too loyal."  Wait... what?  I am TOO loyal?

Yep. I was told I was too smart, too deep, too clean and healthy  , liked to read (my bad) and connect with people. I asked him if he was criticizing me or giving me ideas for a dating ad? He just looked confused and said that he and the other woman just wanted to eat fast food, drink beer, and watch funny TV shows and I would prefer to save the world (I assume this is about my humanitarian work).  Yep. He was spot on there: I confess that I would rather save the world than eat nachos. Then he said affection was also a problem. I was shocked and said, "What are you talking about D and I have great affection for you and you and I have a great sex life (sorry TMI). He said, Yes. That's the problem. I don't know what to do with that. Huh? All I could say was, "Well, congratulations. You seem to have found what you want--a dumb, shallow, dirty, unhealthy woman who doesn't read, can't connect with people, doesn't want to improve the world around her, isn't affectionate and cheats on her spouse. Wow. You must be so proud.

Then he said that he resented having to follow me after Graduate School. I was confused. I never asked him to follow me and said so. Then he said, I know, but I would have done anything to be with you and wanted to follow you.   

This is all while my once well-dressed professional husband stood there in a graphic T-shirt that said, "Size Does Matter," wearing macramé necklaces and bracelets with skull and Fleur de lis charms and a hat like the one Justin Beiber wore. NO APPEAL TO ME whatsoever. Good thing he wasn't into affection, because I could not have summoned any...

And this is omitting the hip hop plaid shorts he showed up in one day that he had hanging off his rear end. Poor D who was 13 was mortified, and this does not include his musical taste change from Jazz to such ditties as "Sexy and I Know It" and "Lick You."    D was so upset by it all, she said, "He is just beneath being Satan. If you look at the back of his head, I bet you would see 665." (Get it? Just beneath being Satan) As I type this I realize my standup comedy act is writing itself. Who needs to worry about rebuilding a career from scratch.  H is providing all I need to make beaucoup bucks on stage. I say we go on tour in a big LBS bus.

Phoenix - thats really funny!!!!! 

[crazyjourney]

When youngest son had not met ow yet and he was meeting him to exchange a key or something son asked if she would be there and h said if he didnt want to see her to close his eyes, I had forgot about that one.

Strangely before BD drop my h had started saying mate to me, like see you later mate if he was going somewhere but he would correct himself when he saw the look on my face, and I do remember saying back MATE???.

He had been using language in front of me that he never would normally and I would pull him up and he would say oops sorry or words to that effect.

How weird is all of it, it is just so off the wall, the whole thing.

Phoenix - I shouldn't laugh really at your sitch but your descriptions are so wonderful and full of humour. And your D is clearly a chip off the new you block.
I'll pay to come and see you on tour with you stand up routine. Maybe it should be called the 665 show!!
