In contrast to my earliest posts on here, I'm now using the word "Pathetic" to describe The Princess instead of myself. I am now starting to see how she really isn't all that, and really never has been.

Shortly after I moved out, 10 left a couple crayons in his pockets, which ruined an entire load of laundry, so she had to go out and buy a pile of new clothes. These new clothes are, of course, much more revealing than her old ones.

A couple things:

- 13 was telling me that she has a CD in the car that has the song that says something about a long coat and a short skirt being sexy. Every time this song comes on, she says, "This song is about me". TO HER FRIGGING SON. He doesn't want to hear that shit, but she can't stop herself from pointing out her sexuality to anyone who will listen.

- She came to pick up the boys the other day, and was wearing some ridiculously short shorts. They showed off lots of leg, and were very close to showing off some arse. 10 asked her if those were new shorts, so she did a little spin, let us all look at the back of her legs, and said, "These? Oh no. I've had them forever." She hasn't of course.

She really is pathetic, and seems to be grasping at straws. The best part was how I sat there and said nothing, instead of telling her how fabulous she looked - as I had through our entire marriage.

She is fishing for compliments, but is in the wrong pond with me! As you've all told me about a million things in the past, she fired me from that job.

Yay for me!

Yay you!!!

Yeah for you!!! She doesn't deserve to be complimented for acting like a slut, especially in front of her kids. Keep up the good work, you are doing better with every day that passes even if you don't always feel that way. My WH#2 starting doing weird stuff like that after he started his A. He would not shave for a day or two, so he had the gruffy look. I complained and he said it was the new look. Well I guess OW told him it was sexy or something. It may be sexay on a 20-30yr old, but on a 50yr old he looks like a homeless whino.

Wow ... that is so sad and pathetic. Good for you for not feeding her shallow ego. It also was appropriate to not compliment that outfit in front of your sons. You don't want your sons thinking they way their mother is dressing is appropriate and normal. Yay for you!!

Ah, a Cake song for the cake-eater!

Seriously. At 44? I'll take the boobs out for a spin on a night out but its so unnecessary during the day.. and to mince about like that in front of her sons?

Pathetic is right. And no class.

She is seeking external validation. Let her get her ego kibbles elsewhere.

Thanks for the support, y'all. I especially loved all the comments along this line:

Yeah for you!!! She doesn't deserve to be complimented for acting like a slut

And StrongButBroken, she is very good at getting her ego kibbles everywhere she can. That's why I'm here. I expect I'm not the only one she's throwing her legs at! Who am I kidding? I KNOW I'm not the only one!

Boobs and legs seem to be the only things she has going for her these days. I don't expect she'll have any problem finding idiots who are happy to get at them - until they discover what she's like.

Of course, it took me 17.5 years, but I'm a slow learner.

Pass, you are doing well and I am glad you "passed" on giving any type of compliment to her.

It can be hard at times to try and explain those comments to your kids, but you did great!

Keep up the good work!
