Got this call from the ex today...

[RocketRider]

Yup, kinda strange. She called just to let me know that her (new) husband of 10 years was leaving here for a woman 17 years younger. If she was looking for sympathy she dialed the wrong number. I tried to be nice & feign a little sorrow, but what I really wanted to say was...

"If you weren't such a 'B' maybe someone would stick around for a while!"

Gosh, I feel better now...

[trust me]

Hate to hear of divorce. Even for bad people.

Exactly. Divorce is never good.

[RocketRider]

I don't like divorce either! But, when she told me she wanted one back in 1993 we had 2 kids, I had a great job with an income in the top 10%. Less than a month after it was final she married a guy she'd been seeing all along. I got stuck paying 2K a month child support for the next 12 years while she kept the house and everything in it.

...Still find it kind of hard to be sympathetic. :cool:

She wasn't looking for sympathy... She was looking for someone to have the break-up scrog with. No strings, no emotion.

Ain't karma a bitch?

You reep what you sew!!!!!!!!! I don't wish misery on anyone. (Unless I am delivering it personally):D but The bible tells it.

Ain't karma a bitch?

That's what I was thinkin:rolleyes:

[buckfever]

I don't get it. . . :confused::confused:

You got divorced in 1993 from this woman and she got remarried in 1998 (which means no maintenance/alimony to her). You paid child support for the next 12 years (until 2005), which suggests that your kids turned 18 yrs old in 2005.

You proclaim that you basically hate her guts, and you apparently no longer have any financial ties to her.

Why in the hell is she calling you about her present husband leaving her for a younger woman?

And if you hate her guts so much and have no sympathy, what in the world prevented you from telling her exactly the way you feel about her?

If you're too much of a gentleman to tell her off in her moment of need, then for God's sake, why would you bring all of this up on public internet cite?

I may be reading between the lines too much, but your post makes it look like you've continued to hold yourself out to your ex as that "broad shoulder to cry on" despite being divorced for over 15 years, but you hide this by publicly denying any feelings or sympathy for her.

Just out of curiosity, are you remarried, and if so, did you tell your present wife about this mysterious call from the ex? Also, I wonder if you had a little skip in your step after you got that call? ;)

And if you hate her guts so much and have no sympathy, what in the world prevented you from telling her exactly the way you feel about her? I figured she was having a bad enough day already!

If you're too much of a gentleman to tell her off in her moment of need, then for God's sake, why would you bring all of this up on public internet cite? Just for your entertainment as well as mine. Looks like it worked.

On the contrary, I've had as little to do with her as possible all these years. Necessary contact only regarding the kids.

Just out of curiosity, are you remarried, and if so, did you tell your present wife about this mysterious call from the ex? Also, I wonder if you had a little skip in your step after you got that call? ;) I have remarried & will tell the wife about the call tonight. She will probably be less than amused but I tell her everything anyway. And no, I don't skip.

Bring it on, just keep it within regulations!!!!!!!!!!:D

[WSM Man]

For what it's worth, I think staying in communication and remaining "friendly" to the mother of your children after getting divorced, even if you don't have a reason such as child support, is admirable.

That said, if my wife does that to me, then get's it in return, I'd say "Ahwww, that's to bad, hate to hear it, does this women have a sister??"

[Louhunter]

When are women ever going to learn the Man Rules? You need to remind her to review Rule #1

Now here are the rules from the male side.
These are our rules!
Please
note . these are all numbered "1"
ON PURPOSE!

1.
Men are NOT mind readers.

We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about
you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports.
It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides
Let it be.

1. Shopping is NOT a sport.
And no,
we are never going to think of it that way.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one :

Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are
perfectly acceptable answers
to almost every question.

1. Come to us with a
problem
only
if you want help solving it.
That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your
girlfriends are for.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is
a
Problem.
See
a doctor.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an
argument.
In fact, all comments become null and void after 7
Days.

1. If you won't dress like
the Victoria 's Secret girls,
don't Expect us
to act like soap opera guys.

1. If you think you're fat, you
probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be
interpreted two ways
and one of the ways makes
you sad or angry,
we meant
the other one

1. You can either ask us to
do something
Or t ell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you
already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever
possible, Please say whatever you have to say during
commercials.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT
need
directions and neither do we.

1 ALL men see in only 16 colors,
like Windows default settings.

Peach, for example, is a fruit, not
A color.
< /FONT>Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have
no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches,
it will be scratched.
We do that.
1. If we ask what is wrong and you say
"nothing,"
We will act like nothing's wrong.

We know you are lying ,
but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you
don't want an answer to,
Expect an answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere,
absolutely anything you wear
is fine.
Really .

1.

or BASKETBALL.



1.
You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.
1. I am in shape.
Round
IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes,
I know,
I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know

It's like camping.

Pass this
to as many men as you can -
to give them a laugh

Pass this to as
many women as you can -

to
give them a bigger laugh

Another vote here that she was inquiring into a post-breakup scrog. A lot of women don't handle rejection any better than men, probably worse - she needs a man slobbering after her to feel complete, and she's looking for a little attention between the sheets.

I agree. She wanted you to tell her what a fool this guy was, then pour the coal to her.

Oh, well...She'll get better when the swelling goes down...Thats what I was told when I pissed and moaned about something growing up..That and stuff like...."$hit in one hand, wish in the other..See which one gets full first".....:D...

Stand down, men. RR averted the building of any potential soap opera drama with his response. :D

Scott - I don't quite think you've got a proper understanding of the expression "pour the coal to her".

OH yes I Do!

[lymanl3]

Divorce does suck. When one spends a great deal of their life with one person its tough to let go sometimes...I know. Then again, there is also a lot resentment, hate, etc..glad I didnt have kids, but getting dropped on my arse in the middle of pharm school and now being broke isnt much fun and gets me fired up everytime I think about it!

Not sure why she called you bud, except for wanting sympathy which she didnt appear to show much for you while running around. Good idea telling the wife...but I suspect that your ex is looking to stir the pot which you dont need. Good luck with that one!

Oh, and buckfever...she knows how I feel:D

[lymanl3]

She wasn't looking for sympathy... She was looking for someone to have the break-up scrog with. No strings, no emotion.


Good one! Get bowed up like two bird dogs!!

[buckfever]

OH yes I Do!

No, I don't think so. :rolleyes:

[buckfever]

Oh, and buckfever...she knows how I feel:D

Well if that's the case then Lyman, I don't see any need to break out my patented "Buckfever Psychological Profiling" Kit on you. :D;):D

By the way, great buck this year. CL Button sent me the link to Jody's site. Super deer.

[MsgMills]

Believe me when I say this....Do tell the new wife anything and everything that was said between you and the ex......It will help a ton down the road in the new marriage........Cause nothing worse than a woman scorned as to find out from someone else or even from the old ex, that you talked to the ex........AND DIDN"T TELL THE NEW WIFE.......
