He cant understand why he got DIVORCE PAPERS?
 
OMG...
Over the past few months. I have told him every reason
why, down to how much the pissey toliet seat bugged me.

The papers were suppose to be sent back into my state by the end
of today.

He texted me and said he will not sign them until I give him a reason
why.......

OMG...I think today, I will start to drink myself (just joking)

Now, it goes into court, big money cost for me. He will have to fly
back here for that and lawyer said, court dates are set out until
this fall.....

Praying, that he will have a couple of more drinks today
and sign them by 5pm....:tapping

I add my prayers to yours...but I'd be tempted to be snarky and respond "I'm divorcing you because you're an alkie and I won't live with that"...BUT it's probably best to stay out of that discussion because it'll be pointless.

BobbyJ 05-13-2011 12:57 PM

I have said exactly that to him...Along with "YOUR A DRUNK"

I think that was pretty clear...lol

nodaybut2day 05-13-2011 12:59 PM

No matter how clear you were, heck even if you had it written in the sky with smoke right above his house, he'd probably STILL wonder "Why oh WHY is she divorcing a catch like ME??!!"

BobbyJ 05-13-2011 01:03 PM

A catch like me? ...(A vision of a big vodka bottle belly gut )

:c011:

Couldnt find an emotion of me laying on the floor laughing my butt off!!!
So I used that one instead...

Tuffgirl 05-13-2011 01:05 PM

Can anyone say control issues?! I find it amazing at how easily they can distort reality, over and over again. My RAH actually said, AGAIN, just a few nights ago, that he doesn't understand why I moved out. I went back over all the emails I have sent him and realize of course he understands. He read these emails. I am sure he still has them. So now when he asks me redundant questions, I refer him to everything I put in writing, beginning in May of 2010. It's all there, every answer to every stupid question. Now I no longer have to waste my oxygen saying the same thing over and over again.

Hang in there, BobbyJ. This will be a tough one, but you'll look back and be glad you did it.

I think it is typical A reaction. Once again they do not GET IT!!

:a043::headbange

Alone22 05-13-2011 01:23 PM

Amazing aren't they??!! I sure hope he comes to his senses and signs the paperwork and makes it easy. Good luck!

Yup. Next, wait for the "you were always a lousy wife, but I'm such a generous guy that I'm going to give you a second chance to come back and do it right this time."

And you know what Willie Nelson said? You know why divorces are so expensive? Because they're worth it.

BobbyJ 05-13-2011 01:45 PM

OMG...He started calling my customers!!! and friends this afternoon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Asking them,
WHO has been at the house?
WHO is she sleeping with?
WHO is the lucky queer?

Then calls my work & leaves a message: I will NOT stop calling everyone until you tell me why and how you are sleeping with???????????

(( Me sleep with someone, are you freaking kidding me?)) I would rather scrub
toliets...

WELL GUESS WHAT....As of 5/13/11...I shut his phone OFF!!!!

Now the 2 year cell phone contract, gets transfered over to a college girl who could
really use a free phone plan.."She is happy" and "She is a non-drinker"

Alone22 05-13-2011 01:51 PM

OH MY! That is horrible! Good for you for shutting off his phone! Sounds like a man... you must be getting sex somewhere, can't simply be that you are just done with him and his issues. Rather scrub the toilets!!!! NOW that is funny! He must look like such an ass to all those people he called.

Hang in there... hopefully some day very soon you will be totally free of this crap!

:You_Rock_

Good for you! Enough is enough. I'm sure he'll throw more crazy around but at this point I'd be all "Bring it Sucka - I am FINE. I am putting one foot in front of the other and your small and crazy games will not stop ME." In my head of course. I think you don't utter one peep to him ever again. That is the best thing because it keeps you out of the crazy and he's left wallowing around knee deep all by himself.

Hang in there.

Exactly. Keep your level head Bobby J. He'll self destruct and you'll be free one way or another.

lillamy 05-13-2011 02:14 PM

Oh yeah, I forgot that step. :lmao

The "clearly you're sleeping with someone else because that's the only explanation for you not wanting to remain married to such a fine specimen!"

Do they print these instruction manuals on the inside of 24-packs of beer or something?

lillamy 05-13-2011 02:18 PM

And now I feel bad for laughing. :(
Because it really isn't funny. It's tragic.

sandrawg 05-13-2011 04:14 PM

OMG I have been through this too.

Trying to get someone to actually see what really happened, by sending them emails and IMS..

"Do you not see that YOU said this??"

Then you know what he would say: "Stop throwing my words back in my face, Sandra!"

Last example was about what we broke up over. On Mar 15 he was telling me he missed me, was sad without me, etc., and asked what did he need to do to be with me. I said "stop drinking." and did what my therapist said to do, to tell him DO NOT CONTACT ME UNTIL YOU GET SOBER.

When I stupidly broke no contact w him we argued about why we broke up. Now he's written history to "I gave up trying. It was too much for me, I bent over backwards trying to be what you wanted"...etc.

If I was still caught up in the craziness of the disease I wold've re-sent his text messages from that day back to him but of course, I realized, it's pointless.

AAAGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
