Ok - Ok - My turn!
(remember I refer to my H as Ostrich, Ostrich-Boy and OB for short)
-------------------------------------------------

Ostrich: I know my leaving means you won't be able to afford retiring, and I know you were really looking forward to it.  I have figured out a solution for you

Me: (Blank stare)

Ostrich: You could buy a trailer in Florida where you could afford to live and I can take over the Manhattan apartment.

Me: First, let me give you my answer to that suggestion - "No!"
Second, why are you suggesting this?

Ostrich: Well I have been looking for apartments in Manhattan and there is nothing I like as much as this one. (please note - I lived in the apartment years before Ostrich was on the scene)

----------------

Ostrich:  I have been nothing but kind and compassionate though out this entire break-up.

Me: (blank stare)

Ostrich:  What have I ever done or said that was unkind?

Me:  Well you told me you never loved me.

Ostrich:  (blank stare - pause - and then finally) Well I misspoke.

Me: You misspoke?

Ostrich:  Yes I meant to tell you I was never sexually attracted to you.

Me: Really?  We have had sex regularly for 20 years. We have just been having the wildest sex we have ever had just this past month.

Ostrich:  Yes I know, It was "break-up sex"

Me: Break-up sex? I have heard of make-up sex but never break up sex.

Ostrich:  You are so stupid - look it up on the internet!

----------------

Ostrich:  I know we have a great marriage, its not about that, its about the fact that I love this woman and I have to jump into the abyss with her.

Me:  You do realize the words abyss and abysmal are related, don't you?

----------------

Ostrich:  You know the other day when you brought up about the great sex we have been having lately?

Me: Yes?

Ostrich:  Well I realized what that is about.

Me: Oh?

Ostrich:  Yes, I had already made up my mind to go to OW and I was trying out some new moves to perfect them before I used them on her.

OMG Airmid that last one is so awful!

Mine were nothing in comparison, ashamed to post my pathetic H's sayings....apart from the usual ILY....etc all I really got was you are a really attractive woman, but I'm not attracted to you anymore.

'I don't know' - his favourite response to absolutely everything, could not make a decision at all.

From the top of this thread I read 'it is what it is' H has just started saying this, never heard him say this before.

He told me he'd stopped paying into his pension, then 3 months later wanted to protect his pension from me....why it's worthless you've stopped paying??? 

They are such bad liars, they can't remember what they've said.

[Thunder]

Airmid they just do't understand what is going on in their head and they make up the most cruel things to say.
You know in their right mind they would never say anything like that to anyone. 

I think it's to push you away so you will leave him alone and he can get on with his wonderful fantasy life.   

[Airmid]

Thunder -
It gets so bizarre all you can do is laugh (in hindsight).
What an A-hole!

Oh - and once he said to me just before he made some other really stupid and cruel statement...

"I don't want to be an @$$hole about this"

to which I relplied

"I think that ship has sailed already" 

[crazyjourney]

I got

The passion is gone......  and you killed it!!!!

Hmm so it doesnt take 2, I did it all by myself, who would of thought.

[Hmmm]

I robbed mine of a sex life apparently. Despite the fact I kept trying to get some action while he was clinging to the edge of the bed.

He also told me he'd never find anyone more intelligent or attractive.

Baffling. If we didn't have each other to share this with then we'd probably crack up

My wife's were pretty tame but did indicate her confusion. They occurred around 3 weeks after she moved out. She was upset because I had changed the locks after hearing that she was telling her sisters she was going to divorce me and take half of everything.

She asked me why I changed the locks. I asked her why shouldn't I? She said because I live here. I told her she hadn't lived here in several weeks. She got really mad and ran out of the house crying. One of the few times she's ever shown me any anger and one of the few times I know of that I hurt her badly.

Later in that same conversation after I calmed her down by explaining to her that I changed the locks because I didn't trust her friend, she told me he didn't even know where she lives. I upset her again by pointing out that she lived with him.

I don't know, maybe the 3 weeks she had been living with him she was just on vacation.

Air, you made me snort! Abyss and abysmal. Hysterical!

You forgot the vacuum, sweetie!

[OffRoad]

I forgot these:
You weren't upset enough when I had the car accident. (How many times do I have to ask if he needs to go to the hospital and tell him how lucky we were that the car was so crash proof? I have pictures of him standing there grinning with thumbs up because he wasn't hurt at all.)
We're separate, we're just roommates.
Why do you want to get a separation?
I don't want to be roommates, I thought you wanted to be roommates.
We're just roommates.
I think we've solved some problems.
We haven't solved any of our problems.
We'll never solve our problems.
We've had problems for years.
We've had problems for years and years.
We've always had problems.
We're always fighting. At least once a month or every two months.
You told me you hate me. (I actually said "You must hate me to treat me this way.")
You're always angry (said while he is angry and I am not).
I don't understand. We both have the same complaints. (projection, much?)
I'm engaged in this relationship (said repeatedly when I said I felt like I was in the relationship alone)
I checked out emotionally 2 1/2 years ago.
Well, then, that's a good thing!(Said when I said at least I knew I wasn't crazy, he HAD lied to me and really WAS checked out for the past 2.5 year)
Why do you stay in the bedroom all the time?

[Medusa]

Dang, I cannot believe I forgot another classic:

Me: you obviously don't have any respect for me.

Him: Yes I do!

Me: how?

Him: (MLC stare).

This one was about 4 months after BD.
