Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 > > > OMG Georga. I think your ex and Lou are the best candidates for this > award. Wow. > Oh, once we added the boyfriends, Lou was clearly out of the running. If we stuck to husbands (which he technically still is, alas) he might do better, and if we stuck to current husbands, as opposed to ex-husbands, well, then I think he would win indeed!

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2003 Report Share Posted April 25, 2003 I dunno... If my ex showed up I have a bat'leth that I would shove up his ass. LOL! wouldn't get a chance to kick his ass. This reminds me of something funny said. He is working this stupid midnight shift until the end of next month and I told him he is supposed to be home at night to be the protecter of the family and all. His comment was " Protecter? Me? Hell, you are the one with the bat'leth. " LOL!!

I don't know if I can top it or not. My sister's ex has yet to acknowledge his youngest son's birthday. He turned 15 this March. He doesn't deny paternity he just doesn't acknowledge the child exists because he " doesn't like him. " Out of the 15 years they were married he worked a total of 7. He had so much time off without pay that they couldn't afford to pay the house payment. What does he do? He decides he wants to be a body builder and buys lots of protein drinks from the health food store (read: outrageously expensive) with his credit card. My sister is counting every penny trying to keep the house and he takes the credit card and goes and buys himself steak dinners at a restaurant to help him " bulk up " . Sis is working a full-time job and going to school. They can't afford a sitter but she can't leave the kids with him because she would come home after 8 hours of work and the kids would still have the same diaper on! When they got older and didn't take bottles he would fix food for himself but not them. Sis would leave a bowl of cereal for each of them on the counter and 3 small glasses of milk so they could fix their own breakfast. He wouldn't even pour the milk for them. After almost 12 years of this crap, she started working 3 jobs to buy a new house. For 2 1/2 years they lived with my parents while she did this. He worked 4 months during that time. She got the mortgage in her name alone and told him he wasn't moving in with her and the kids. He tried to choke her to death. She had bruises all over her neck. He got thrown in jail. He called me collect and told me it was her fault. She cheated him out of a house he worked so hard for. He expected me to bail him out because he'd " found God. " yeah right. When the divorce was final she ended up with a $4000 credit card bill. He filled out the form and forged her name. She had no idea he had the card at all. The judge told her that since they were married at the time she was finacially responsible. And the reason I think he sounds like Lou is because he honestly doesn't understand why he got thrown in jail. It's not his fault. All the money problems aren't his fault either. He needed the satellite, the shopsmith, the 63 Mustang, etc. etc. etc.... After all, they " gave " him a credit card. They shouldn't have done that if he couldn't afford to make the payments.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 I knew there had to be someone worse than my ex (husband)! Or at least equal. I'm positive I'd have had more 'great times ha' had I stayed more than a year. Shakes head..why on earth did we DO this to ourselves! Oh that's right..we LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED them. Believe it or not...there WERE some really great times with my ex. They were few and far between but it was like this huge rollercoaster. The good times were great, and the bad times were just horrid. And I really did think if I loved him and he loved me, it'd all work out. My advice to people facing this now. " you can love until you're blue in the face (in my case, I was literally blue in the face...bruised), but it won't make a marriage work. A marriage must be based on mutual respect, trust, communication and no substance abuse issues or codependency. " There were very good things that came out of my marriage. 1. I learned exactly what I didn't want and did want in a husband, and to not settle for less than what I found acceptable. I learned to be very picky...and never expected anyone to change for me. 2. I had a drinking problem at the time...a mild one. I earned a great distain for drunks and kept myself sober, even if at the time it was only because SOMEBODY had to be responsible. Had I been using, I'm sure I'd have been in jail right along with him...or dead. 3 I learned a bad relationship is NEVER EVER EVER better than being alone. I learned to like myself quite a bit, and actually became accustomed to being single. > > oh oh me me...My sister's ex is a real winner..... > > > > Stayed out drinking all weekend and then came home and told my > sister that he had hit a 7 yr old girl on her bike and that he had > spend the weekend sitting with the parents at the hospital while they > waited to see if their daughter would live......... > > > > That's pretty damned bad.

I learned that being alone was much better than being with him and putting up with his infidelities and emotional abuse. I could do it on my own and be just fine. Took me 12 years to figure it out, but I finally did. Thank God! Some of us just are slow learners, I guess. I just had no faith in myself and my abilities.

I just had no > faith in myself and my abilities. Leggs I know how that is Leggs, it took me 7 long years myself.. the screaming, throwing things, making me think that everything was " my " fault, not coming home till way after midnight night after night and expecting dinner to be waiting for him, and having that pit in my stomach, when i heard his truck pull up, wondering what kind of mood he was gonna be in...and EVERY time he would come home that late, he had to make so much noise.. and wake up the kids...rachelle didn't have her own room, so her crib was in the living room, and the bedrooms were too small to share, so he'd come home and start talking to rachelle while she was sleeping...not in a whisper.. but LOUD talking..and i would plead with him, to just go to sleep...and then the fight would start...I don't know why he had to do that...so then me and girls would be up most of the night, and he would go and pass out.. and he'd wake up whenever he felt like it, and wake up pissed cause the girls were being too LOUD...FN jerk!!!! He has a drinking/drug problem, but he doesn't think he does..he's been in jail a few times...a couple time by me, but then took him back (stupid!!!)I left him when rachelle was about 10months old..i just couldnt handle it anymore, taking care of the baby, and all of jenna's problems...and having HIM to deal with on top of everything else.. there is so much to my story, it would be way to long to write...But i finally left and am soooo glad i did..I live upstairs in an apartment now, and sometimes at night, i'll hear a truck pull up and then someone comes up the stairs (to go to their own apartment) and i STILL get that pit in my stomach that its him, and i have to wake myself up really good to realize its not him, that we are safe and alone....I really, really hate that...im hoping someday that feeling goes away. It's very hard being a single mom, but its sooo much better than what it was....I still have alot of self-esteem issues myself, cause he really play with my head with those. So, im still looking to find out who " I " am...but too busy with the kids for that right now...but im sure one day, it will come. Its gonna take a long time to find " trust " in anyone again...with all this baggage i have... nancy...who didn't mean for this to become so long... single mom to: joshua 15 (nt) jenna 6 (autism, ocd) rachelle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 , I have decided that it is just that we were such good people that we could not believe that someone would intentionally make us unhappy and be happy about how that made THEM feel. These guys were users who we enabled by trying to make things right for them. The only thing that makes them happy is to make someone else dependent on them and then make their life a living hell. It is an ego boost for them. You ARE better off alone with the girls, even if it is a financial hardship and emotionally taxing. We know it could be a LOT worse, because we have been there. Thank God my ex and I never had any kids! It took real courage for you to leave, but I will bet you did it more for the girls than for yourself, didn't you? About trusting someone new: it does take a while, but there are guys you can trust out there. When my current husband told me that he loved me after about a month of dating, I snapped back with, " yeah, right! And how many women have you told THAT? " (he was a 40 year old bachelor and I figured he's had to be a real operator to stay single all of those years.) He looked at me with big, shocked eyes and said, " I've NEVER told anyone that before! " I felt like SHIT! Turns out he was painfully shy and just never really knew how to approach girls or women. He is a delightful change from the last one who had never met a woman who didn't like him. And Dave (the new dh) is very receptive to suggestions for improvement, which Stan (the first dh) would have just laughed at and told me it was " my problem. " Hang in there, kiddo, it DOES get better....Leggs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2003 Report Share Posted April 26, 2003 LOL....It cracks me up. Jeff and I are lucky to ever be alone for more than 15 minutes! and if we are so lucky and the kids are asleep then so am I! And getting a babysitter is crazy. Who would do that for me on a weekly basis? As for staying in and watching a movie.....we do that and get interupted a million times during the movie. But hey I don't live the fairytale life. Heck I dont even live the normal life.

Jeex, if only someone had told you that sooner, hmmm? She's a good housecleaner, but the bitch is delusional. Jacquie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
