The posts with the lies and excuses
I've been thinking about these a lot today. It amazes me how similar they all are. Is there a lying, cheating husbands handbook out there that I don't know about? I wonder how many people from other boards are lurking on that post thinking, "Oh crap, that's what my H says to me ALL THE TIME!"
She's crafty - and she's just my type.
Re: The posts with the lies and excuses
Ditto this! I kept getting chills because it said you should avoid dealing with these people as much as possible. That's a bit difficult for me and you!
But seriously, it's like there's some douchebag handbook specifically written or something. Probably the most interesting thing to me was how so FEW people actually confess when they are caught red-handed. I always thought that when someone was backed into a corner and the only thing to do was confess, they would and should. Not XH, and not many of the exes I've heard of. They will make up any lie even if they know it's terrible. I mean, come on, I've told the story of finding condoms in XH's truck when I was PG a million times and NO ONE has ever thought it was for anything other than being a scandalous creep and cheating on his wife. Still, to this day, he says they were for "self pleasure".
This, except I don't think they're thinking "Crap!!" I think that they already know the BS their H's are feeding this is just that...BS. They're just living in denial still, like many of us were.

Agreed. It's not that these lies were good and people really believed them. For me it was that I WANTED to believe them. I knew his not coming home, late night texts, emails, everything were red flags, but I had invested so much in the relationship, I wanted to believe it was all innocent. It never is ladies.
Same here
I wanted to believe his STD must have come from before we met and only now surfaced
I wanted to believe that he really did not pursue the women who contacted him via his newly created online dating profile and would never happen again
I wanted to believe that he was going "alone" to the movies on Thurs nights
I wanted to believe that he really was going back into "work" at 8pm until 2am, even when he did it on Friday and Saturday nights.
I really wanted to believe ....
