I'm sure glad that y'all are compiling this WS Manual 101 because everytime I heard one of my fwh's excuses for his behavior, I thought how similar they were to all of the others about whom I'd been reading, here!!! It's simply amazing how all the comments are similar from such a vastly different group of FWSs!!!! There HAS to be a WS Manual in somebody's bookcase, somewhere!! There's just too much similarity in what they say to us (BSs)!!!!

Some of these are taken but I thought I would add my own spin.

I know the affair was wrong but our marriage was in trouble way before it started.

Translation: (1) There is no way in hell I’m taking the blame for this or being accountable for my actions; (2) I was justified to disregard your feelings and our family to get the sex and attention I needed on the side; (3) If I can convince you that you’re at fault, you’ll stop talking about it and I can go back to seeing OP.

I now realize you were a controlling self-centered narcissist who abused me emotionally for the entire marriage (pm me if you want to hear some of the ridiculous things she claimed were emotional abuse).

Translation: I completely rewrote our marital history to my friends, family, co-workers, therapist, MC etc. to the point where they all believe you are a narcissist and that makes you the bad person and me to be the victim. I really am a good person you know.

I want to keep my family together.

Translation: I am terrified of being on my own and will hang on to you if I can at all costs except being truthful, truly accountable and remorseful until I cheat again. If you decide to divorce, I will try to take you for everything I can because this really is all your fault.

"It was only supposed to be a dalliance. I didn't intend to get so emotionally involved."

Translation: Doesn't it make you feel better that she was only supposed to be a piece on the side? I can't help it if I fell in love with her. What do you expect me to do?

She's non-judgemental.

(It was ok with her for me to cheat)

My BF is so good at lying it's scary.

Have I ever lied to you?

(translation: let's see how much you have figured out)

I swear on my mother's life, because you know how much I love my mother, that I have never cheated on you! (translation: mom is close to death anyway and its just a bunch of words so lets see if will believe me now)

I don't know why you are upset that I told OW that I love her too when I say goodbye on the phone. I say that to all my good friends, even the guys at work know that I say this.

(translation: I call her from work so they know I say that to all my "good friends aka fuck buddies"

If I didn't love you, you wouldn't be here (translation: you're here to work your ass off taking care of me and all my responsibilities are on your shoulders cause I'm too lazy to do it myself. If I could find some other idiot to take over, you'd be gone.)

When do I have time to go see her. I'm with you 24/7. (translation: except when I'm at work, then its play time at lunch time or anytime I can get a chance to go pick up auto parts, I can stop by for a quickie)

I blame you for my sex addiction. (I refuse IC and know it must be SOMEBODY's fault. But not mine of course.)

Ask me anything you want to. (I am not going to volunteer anything you haven't figured out.)

What makes you think I am cheating on you this time? (Oh shit, what do you know?)

I wanted to stop before you found out. (But I figured you were so dumb that you wouldn't ever get it.)

I'll do whatever it takes for however long it takes. (I'm outta here in 15 minutes.)

She's just a friend. I even know her husband. I never told you about them because I knew you'd be jealous. (Yep, I fucked her. And her husband watched.)

I swear I'm not out on the internet looking for anything. (I have a secret email address and a paid adultfriendfinder account. Check out my myspace page and my ads in "casual encounters" on craigslist.)

I am so tired from work - I didn't even get to eat lunch today. (Nope, ate pussy instead at the motel 6.)

Those pictures of my dick in my cell phone are for you. You can see I sent them to my WORK cell phone. You can check. (I am soooo smart to send them to my work phone. Now you will never know where they went from there.)

I will never pass up a chance at true love.

but I was never leaving

translate=I was just going to screw her as often as possible

"I slept on the couch while she slept in our bed."

(Translation: We were together in our bed but there wasn't much sleeping going on.)

"NOW I'm telling you the truth."

(Translation: I'm still lying but I thought if I threw the word NOW In there, it would fool you.)

I spilled pop in my hair(dam OM got cum in my hair)

"OW had some of the same cute quirks that you have!"

Translation: She swallows.

'It is the truth.'

Uh, no, it wasn't.

What a lying sack o' shit.

OMG this thread is too funny.

I heard "there was just something about her", what, a vagina? That's special.

"You were never happy." This is a lame ass excuse for my stupid ass behavior.

I am gonna work so hard to make this up to you. Yeah, that's why we're divorced buddy.

"I am so afraid we're going to be like my parents." Again, lame excuse.

"I need some space"

...between her legs?

Not sure if you got this one yet:

Did you wear a condom?

Yes, it broke.

Translated: Nope.

_____

That voicemail/text you saw/heard is not what you think - I planted it to see if you were snooping.

Translated: Shit, think fast she just saw your text.

"There is nothing going on between us" I'm screwing her every chance I get

"The text from her saying 'I love you and can't wait to make love to you' really was just role playing. She's been feeling disconnected from her husband." Shit.. You SAW that?

"The text from her saying 'I love you and can't wait to make love to you' really was just role playing. She's been feeling disconnected from her husband." Shit.. You SAW that?

Role playing? bwaaaaaaaaaaa

"We can work this out"

And

"I never stopped loving you even while he was screwing me"

Trans: O'shit, the gig is up and a divorce would be expensive and you are going to win custody of the kids so better start kissing your ass like yesterday.

Further Translation for these two: "I am a whore who will do anything to get another rung up the corporate ladder since it is how I judge my self-worth and if fucking the boss is what it takes then I am all over that but it doesn't mean I didn't love you...I was doing the boss to make a better financial future for us"

"I don't want to lose you"

Translation :I need day care, someone to do all the work while I fuck around and a maid so I better keep your around. I can always back off the A till things settle down then find a new "boy friend"
