I was a terrible mother for making my kids fold their own clothes. And I was a horrible wife for not washing my H's clothes that were on the floor in the corner of the room on his side of the bed... where I couldn't see them.

Okay... this is totally true:

He told me that I was too upset when Borders closed.

Yep. That's a reason for cheating on me. I was bummed that my favorite chain bookstore closed, and I apparently shouldn't have expressed any emotions or feelings about it. You know, because I cried every night, talked about it incessantly, said we couldn't have sex because I was too sad about Borders...

Yeah, you just can't make this kind of lunacy up.

Oh, and I almost forgot-- I watched too much TV. You know how much I watched?

Six hours a WEEK.

I had a few shows that I enjoyed winding down with in the evening after the kids went to bed. He hated that with a passion-- I was supposed to put the kids to bed, jump into my rubber suit, and play passion palace with him every night, not watch TV!

Sorry, XWH. The TV didn't try to awkwardly grope me and call it foreplay. It was the better companion to have in the evening.

Our dog was peeing in the house.

Let me rephrase that: our pound dog that SHE went and chose from the pound, was peeing in the house.

As for loading silverware--EVERYBODY knows the handles face up. Duh.

All tableware faces up in the dishwasher basket except sharp knives which face down.

Come on, people. We are a society.

Hmmm lets see...

I read too much...so shoot me I don't like to watch mindless drivel on tv!

I don't let him talk without interrupting ( only when I am hearing the story for the 50th time when he is drunk...how many times do I have to sit through it?)

But my favourite....

I didn't wash his favourite socks ( yes you read right my 48 year old WH has favourite socks and although he had 20 pairs in his drawer, his favourite weren't clean...oh the horror!)

SAWH tried to blame his affairs and other forms of acting out on:

"My wife took my hobbies away."

He has always hunted, fished, golfed, watched all of the football and nascar that he could. What had him upset was that the gym that he was going to to lift weights went out of business and we had 3 kids all playing baseball and softball on 3 separate teams and it caused him to not be able to play on a church softball team (OW3 kept the books).

I had nothing to do with the gym and softball but it was easier to blame me and use it to justify his affairs.

Our roof sprung a leak and I didn't fix it by the time it rained again two days later. (she was already in the affair at this point but this was the straw that broke the camel's back!)

TheRealDeal, YES - that's the one!!

Corn on the cob. Sheesh.

What kind of crazy person doesn't love corn on the cob??? I would have divorced him just for the corn blasphemy.

It has been brought to my attention that I am an uncaring wife b/c I bought whole grain bread instead of soft white bread; if I cared about him, I would remember that he doesn't like whole wheat or whole grain bread. And add that to making brown rice instead of white....gasp!!! I am so mean!

As for the silverware in the dishwasher thing....I see both sides.

Many people do not wash their hands after using the restroom. Plus, our hands are just gross and covered in bacteria. If you put the silverware in with the handles UP, then when you put the dishes away, you don't smear your germs on the portion of the utensil that goes in your mouth (learned that in Epidemiology).

If you put them in with the handles down, you must be sure to put them away by grasping them beneath the part of the utensil that goes in your mouth.

Not that I care one way or the other because I live alone!! YAY!!

When my WH gave me my laundry list of everything I did wrong in our marriage, one of his justifications for the A was that I MADE him eat peas.

Now whenever I bring that up to him, he doesn't "remember" ever saying it and can't believe he did. Just crazy.

During the time he was cheating on me,he got really pissy because I bought bacon. Which was odd,because it's not like bacon has never been brought into my house,ya know? Oh! And nuts. (lol) I made brownies and put pecans in them.

At the time,he told me he couldn't chew these things because his teeth were "all messed up." Again..odd..because his teeth were fine..and he was eating other things with no problem.

But I stopped buying bacon..and no more pecans in the brownies.

Then I got over that nonsense and continued buying and cooking both.

It was after dday,though. Because prior to dday,I was turning myself inside out to try and make him happy.

The other day we were at the store,and I jokingly asked if he wanted to get some bacon. He didn't get the joke..so I reminded him that there was a "no bacon" ban in the house a few years ago. And he gave me that classic answer...

"I don't remember that."

ETA: @SisterMilkshake...why the Hell are those men whispering..after they have just shot their deer?? Do they think the animals in the woods didn't hear that gunshot? Really??
