There's the "He's just a friend/co-worker" chapter that must be included, too.

One mustn't forget the "I don't know/I can't remember" section to help BSs decipher what that really means.

Every one of these comments resonates with me too. He's been telling people we were never married, we didn't live together, we were separated for years. I was told I had checked out on him years ago ???? Yeah, that's exactly why I was planning a family vacation with his input at the time of the discovery.

I love how they re-write history to suit themselves

If we could include a few paragraphs on "my needs weren't being met" in the Justifications They Blow Out Their Arseholes chapter, I would be happy to write them since I have excellent first-hand experience of that particular cheaters' phenomenon.

I'll help with the chapter entitled "The Duality of *I Never Thought You Would Find Out* and *I Knew It Would Devastate You If You Found Out*"

Followed by "Shifty Semantics: How To Conveniently Ignore Intent In Favor Of A Word-By-Word Analysis" Emphasis on Anal.

Imagine a ship trying to set sail while towing an anchor. Cutting free is not a gift to the anchor. You must release that burden, not because the anchor is worthy, but because the ship is.

"I've told you everything. You know everything now, I swear."

This will be tricky. What we have to do is insert a blank page with just this quote every 3 chapters of so. And then on the next page it says "Oh, well, there's some stuff I forgot about. Why are you making this a big deal?"

Followed by 3 more chapters of info.
