Hey Onendone, if you really need a good laugh you can try

1) Rent a comedy movie.

2) Search youtube for stand up comedy routines.

First of all onendone, it's ok if this improved your marriage but not to come on here & post about ANY womans weight. I've gained 20 lbs since xMM ended the A & I pray to god I don't run into him til I can lose it again. BUT, i guess it's no worse than me referring to my AP as "little dick" is it?

As a CS who was very much in love with my OM, the last thing I can stand to think about is my OM and his wife tearing me down, especially knowing he loved(s) me as well. I understand you were trying for some levity, and to inject some humor, and I don't take that personally. I don't think you had any bad intent. Everyone tells a bad joke now and then.

You know why this post bothered some of us? Because an affair is a serious thing. The ending of it nis still painful to me. I ended it in March of this year, but I do not tend to get over things quickly or easily!

I'm sorry if anyone feels that comments about weight were directed toward them. She could have just as easily had gravy stains on her shirt or a bird's nest in her hair. I'm sorry if people feel the need to carry subject matter from one thread that they found objectionable and depositing it into another where the goal is to lighten the mood. I'm sorry that some moods refuse to be lightened. If you want to pursue the subject matter of the original thread, you may want to go there. I added. This one is for funny stories.

My wife tells good jokes. Her sense of humor isn't for everyone. I happen to like it. If it helps her heal, I like it even more.

Okay, here's what I had in mind. I read Gabrielle's book to my wife out loud over the internet this past week. I kept on starting to cry as I read. Not easy. We decided to make it a thing I do for her. A nice lovey thing I can do, and a way for her to keep track of what I'm up to and read the books herself. So I started another book on communication. I went to the house today to hang a picture for her and pick up a bookcase, and she tossed a stack of other relationship books into my car and asked me to read those for her too.

Funny, right?
So I asked, "Are these going to make me cry too?"

This is the kind of humor that keeps us sane. This is the kind of humor that makes things better. This is the kind of humor that heals. This is the kind of humor I was looking for.

Any takers?

I just got a look at the books my wife wants me to read to her. This is going to be heart-rending, educational, and FUN. Excellent choices on her part. The order of reading is up to me, but I'll do them all eventually. I'll probably throw some short stories in French in there too, just to keep her guessing. She doesn't understand a word, but loves the sound of it. A list of titles is available upon PM request.

After all, it's all about healing and harmony.

Onendone, I read in one of your previous posts your W directed you to this site. Does she know who you are and view your posts here?

I and I imagine the rest of us in The Family are thrilled to support you in your journey to return to Your Beloved! Just remember this is a board full of a fair amount of people with broken hearts!

ahem......

Is this a funny story? Last week we were getting out the Christmas boxes and discovered one of them contained a lovely nest of baby mice. They looked like they were almost ready to fly the coop. We put the whole box in the big garbage can and it went bye bye the next morning. Nothing in there I will miss very much at all, and what an opportunity that was to easily get rid of about 6 baby mice!!! Now we gotta figure out if there is a momma and a poppa in our garage!!! We haven't seen or heard anything yet but it seems pretty likely. I was totally freaked out about the incident, but Cole was just like, "what's wrong? They're just mice." Really?

Broken hearts, yes, like mine as well. I blew up a spectacular marriage and shattered my wife's heart because I was stupid and blind.

While my wife says that this site is for me to use and it's my private business, I'm pretty sure she pops in occasionally. Because our situation is unique and fluid, I don't think she would have trouble figuring out who I am. What prompts the question?

Gab - That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you again for getting my point. We always have to find the funny wherever we can. Otherwise, we have nothing but sad.

Thank you for sharing your funny.

Because if my H was viewing this site & knew who I was, my posts would be entirely different. I'll keep that in mind when viewing your future posts.

Ahem what, Sis CloverMoon?
