I've been reading these script threads all day and they have been so eye opening and entertaining. I am new and haven't posted my story yet but wanted to share a couple of gems I've heard over the last few months:
When I busted him on having and affair and questioned him what happened - "It was only oral and it only happened 3 times." The A equivalent of "officer, I've only had two beers"
Upon leaving to "stay at his mom's" for the third time in a month earlier this week - "We have no spark. There is no intimacy, no connection" Then 5 minutes later "We spend too much time together. I can never do anything by myself."
Other contradictions over the months - "You want too much, you are too materialistic, always trying to keep up with the Joneses." "You have no ambition in life and I don't think you can handle how ambitious I am. I want a nicer house, more money and you don't" "Me leaving is really going to alter your lifestyle, not mine. I'll be happy in a little house with just my Harley." Hmm, we live in a big house that he picked out. And when he quit his good job a couple years back to start a restaurant, my a$$ worked two jobs because he wasn't making any money. I spent the first several years of our marriage getting a masters degree to make our lives better. No ambition...
Told me the other day "I'm not sure if there ever was chemistry with us. It was exciting at first because we had some career success and we surpassed all our friends with the stuff we got. Then they started catching up to us and it got boring." And I'm the materialistic one...
"I want to live, not just exist." Don't we all! (I think I saw this one word for word on someone else's post)
My H doesn't talk about the OW because he maintains it is over and leaving "isn't about her, it's about all these problems we have." What problems? "I don't know." If he was comparing her nasty porn star a$$ to me, I would throw up, so I guess mark one in the win column for me.
The first time we spent about 12 days apart and he was "at his mom's", he came back and said "I missed you but it was liberating!" What did you do while gone that was so liberating? "I can't remember." Liberating most likely because he had to lie to one less person for two weeks.
"We go to Panda Express too much for dinner"
