On His Leaving Me - He Had It Planned Out & Wouldn't Tell Me- I Knew Something Was Wrong
Gareth told me to get rid of my mother or he wouldnt talk to me (when my mother came to visit) yet didn't talk to me even when I told my mother to go home!!!
Me: Are you planning on leaving?
Him: "no im not"
Me: "can you promise me that"
Him: "no."
Then he walked out. So I follow upstairs
Me: Can we talk?
Him: " we are not talking go away, or i will have to go out again, ive got lots of work to do and i dont want to go out so go away"
Me: "Is this about work?"
Him: " yes its about work" (in a not so convincing voice.)
Me: "well im off out soon"
Him: "good go away."
On Women
I told him:"Researchers at the web site salary.com found that moms commonly perform 10 jobs: Housekeeper, cook, janitor, day care worker, computer operator, laundry worker, facilities manager, driver, chef, chief executive and psychologist."
His reply: Really... Well ask 1000 'moms' to apply for positions in those 10 sectors and see how many of those 1000 actually get a 'job' in any of them.
On His Spelling
His: Unconchious
Me: No sweety its Unconscious
Him: They should spell it MY WAY, it looks stupid spelt the other way.

"You're like a tool in my tool belt, I take you out when I need you and leave you in the tool box when I don't."
And my all time favorite........"She's the best work I've done yet!"
"I asked why he was being so verbally abusive. His response was 'BECAUSE I CAN" Didnt that say it all?"
Member NH (Narcissistic Husband) wasn't seeing his child for child custody visitations. His explanation: "It's too painful for me to see him".....with a sob in his voice.
N: "One thing I'll never forgive you for, is you taking me away from that
little boy of mine"
Me: "Then why don't you see him more?" (He had cut his visits from every
weekend, Friday and Saturday nights, to every other Saturday night.)
N: (with a sob in his voice) "Because it hurts too much to see him."
Member 2: My stepson wasn't taking his kids either. His 'justification' - "I don't see the boys as often anymore because It hurts me too much when I have to drop them off." I guess that translates into if he loved them more he wouldn't see them at all.
"The BEST time to kick a man is WHEN he's down!"
"Keeping up appearance works for me."
"I'd like to find a rich old bag with a bad cough."
"I seek your approval of my actions and constantly fear your rejection."
"My relationship with you is over, I have moved on, got places to go, people to meet and victims to find."
* * * * *
"I made you everything your are today."
"I'd like to beat the shit out of you!"
N (looking into mirror) "Don't I look cute?
"I just have this sudden urge to punch you right in the face."
"I cant be with a smart woman anymore. I need to find a women who is stupid and easy going"
"You aren't allowed to get mad."
"I'm an addiction. You'll never get me out of your head. I'm here to stay, Baby."
"I want dinner NOW."
"You should worship me because I am a man."
"I am God"
"You don't need to go to the company picnic, it's just for people I know."
"Chicks dig me."
"I don't know what causes these sudden cataclysmic shifts in how I view a person. I can feel it coming over a few days like a cold. Being with that person starts to feel like...wearing a shirt that's too tight. Uncomfortable. Their efforts to be nice to me suddenly seem...weak and disgusting. Then, they are just too intolerable to be around. Getting away from them is a relief. For a while. Then you start to wonder if you can get back in their good graces. And it happens again, of course. And sometimes again. And again. And again."
"I can't help it if all women find me adorable."
"Any woman who goes bowling at night with the girls is out to get some."
"I don't lie; I just stretch the truth."
"I can't share my feelings with you, basically because I don't HAVE any."
"Get them while they're sick."
"It's your fault I yell at you."
"I have a hard time telling the truth."
"If you can't screw over your friends then who can you screw over?"
"If I can't be CEO, then I'm not interested in the job."
"My management style? Fear!"
"Well, what's in that for me?"
"I can smell fear at a hundred yards."
"People are interchangeable."
"When it's no more fun I just get rid of you."
Geez even on our first date he said: "I cleaned my car, you'd better be worth it."
"If people are stupid enough to let me ..I'm gonna take advantage??
"It's none of your business what I do."
"What's wrong with going to bars without you??
That's not what I meant! You misunderstood."
"You'll never find anyone better than me."
When asked for some money he owed me said "I thought my contributions were sufficient!!"
"Well, if I hadn't told her I'd pay her back, she wouldn't have given me the money, would she?"
At Valentine's dinner he says, "You know I'm not obligated to do this for you."
"Emotions are an evolutionary dead end. I believe I have transcended them. I never feel angry or anything - just pure intellect."
"I don't want to get married because they'll get your pension."
"I can't stay here 'cause you are not under control."
"I will kill you if it takes me 20 years. When you least expect it."
"She became pregnant with my child but I made her get an abortion. I didn't want a darkskinned child" in a monotoned, nonchalant voice as he took out the trash.
"I rent videos with animals and people having sex"
"I'll give you up when I'm ready, but first I want to play with you"
I asked the N I knew what he would do if he found himself in a bad situation. He told me he'd 'play crazy, play dumb, send out so much shit* on the river that he could walk across to the other side'. His very words.
My husband told me he would "destroy me" and said so on repeated occasions.
"Your grandmother will be fine." (she was 92 and in a coma with a 5% chance or less of living). "There's no reason to go see her. Anyway, she couldn't hear you, so what's the point?"
When I heard him say "Are you awake?", I said "Yes!" and he said "No you weren't", and he said "I did a test to see if you were asleep (and he started drawing on my chest) and said "I was saying, This is where I'm going to cut your heart out, this is where I'm going to cut your spleen out, and this is where I'm going to cut your kidney out." I jumped up and called him a f.....weirdo and he started laughing saying "I was only joking."
"Hooray for me! F? you!"
"That's the goal! - Keep you on your toes, or keep you on your back."
"You can't stop this from moving forward just because you don't want it to."
"A girl wearing a skirt on a date is clearly asking for it."
"What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine."
Mine told me he loved me, then the next week he told me that he was obsessed with someone else. When I reminded him that he'd told me he loved me, he remarked "that was different!"
We go to the grocery store. We buy something. We stand at the check out stand together, watching the lady bag the groceries. I pay, as always. We are only "dating", so I pay for everything, because he thinks it is wrong for women to expect him to "take them out". He eats for free, at my house, three days per week. We carry the food out to my car, together. We get home, ready for the Expert N Chef to prepare a meal, with me in the role of scullery maid. Something we bought is missing. "How could you forget that, it was so important?", he asks me impatiently, and goes on. "I don't forget things when I go to the store, I watch to see that they put everything in the bag!" "But you were there, too, and had equal responsibility," I protest. He says, "How can you say that, when you were the one paying for them?"
"He tells me long stories about his life, on a regular basis. Sometimes they are half hour monologues or more. One time I listen to one of his stories and it reminds me of something that happened to me that I decide to tell him about. I say less than one sentence before he says, "Did you feed the dogs?" "Yes," I say, and remain silent. "Go on, go on," he says impatiently, without looking at me, rotating his hand in the air. I say another sentence, and he interrupts, "Will you hand me that newspaper?" I hand it to him. He begins to read it. "Did you not have the slightest interest in what I was saying?" I ask him, after a while. "I might," he says, "if you didn't go on and on, endlessly. Conversation should be a dialogue."
"I buy everything we eat when he is at my house, three days a week. We need some milk, which we both take in our coffee, and he says, "I want a walk, I'll go out for it." "Do you want some money," I say, heading for my purse. He laughs derisively, looking right at me, hands in his pockets as I try to hand him some money. "Why are you laughing," I ask. "It is so ridiculous," he says. "Here I am going out to buy you some milk, and you ask me if I want money. 'Would I like some money?' What do you think I want, to pay for your milk as well as going to get it?"
When youngest child was 15, he and Dad had a falling out. Youngest child told him how angry he was at him for things he had done. Dad's response? "If you aren?t going to agree with me and tell me I am right, then I don?t want you to come to see me any more!? Hasn't seen or spoken to youngest son for 3 years now.
"When I arrive home, you are supposed to be waiting at the door for me with something cold to drink and a cloth wipe my brow."
"He is restless. He takes a walk. He comes back still restless. "Take another walk with me," he says. "I still want to be outside." I dress for the winter weather and head out with him. I comment on a passing dog. He is silent. I say "hi" to a neighbor as we walk by. He is silent. There's a flag of a foreign country I don't recognize on the house of another neighbor, and I wonder aloud what country it represents. He is silent, and walks rapidly ahead of me so that I am following six feet behind. We pass by my house again, and I turn in the walkway. "Why are you going in?" he turns around and asks. "Because it is clear you don't want to walk with me." "I would," he says, "if only you would just be quiet."
"We met on the internet. When I read his profile I remember thinking "boy is this guy a cocky bastard". He was saying how handsome he was and that he would be a good catch basically. Well, he contacted me first - I almost didn't respond after reading his profile but I did. We talked for about a week on the phone and then met. One of his first comments to me when he met me was "you've got potential". should have gotten up then and ran."
"You are of no value to me anymore. I could hire a $4 an hour Spanish Maid cheaper than you." (I was full time homemaker)
"Why do I need to get Life Insurance for you? I'm the one that needs it, not you."
I had asked for my own cell phone, as ex bought one for daughter and not me.... "What do you need a cell phone for?"
I said "What if I break down in the car?"
He said "So pull over and flag someone down."
"You're so stupid, I wish I married a career woman so I could have more money
