1) Him plucking the whiskers off his face and putting them in his mouth.

2) Licking his fingers because they're dry. And, I'm supposed to kiss him after that? lol

3) Him coming home after work and saying a quick hello to just some of the kids and then basically ignoring them for the rest of the night.

4) Sleeping in until 11am every.single.weekend. Something he did during our 10 years of marriage.

5) The temper tantrums, manipulating, stonewalling, dismissing, and finally, him calling the cops when I said I wanted to talk about things after we had a disagreement. Talk about outsourcing our marital issues!

I don't miss supporting all of us on my own and coming home to a messy house.

I don't miss the sex especially since i didn't want to anymore but would be given the guilt trip (don't u love me anymore) to the anger (are u sleeping with someone else). It was more his hygiene then anything else.

I don't miss arguing about him playing video games/being on the computer all day while I was working

I don't miss finding out about purchases that were never discussed considering I was the one bringing in income

I don't miss the crying over feeling alone in this marriage when it should have been a partnership

I don't miss working all week, coming home to take care of household stuff and not getting to sleep in once in awhile when he didn't work and slept in all the damn time.

I don't miss him cooking me dinner since he never did!

I don't miss the whining like a little kid. Felt like he was more of a child then a husband.

I don't miss the mood swings and being his therapist so to speak.

I don't miss getting stabbed and scratched by his toenails.

I don't miss cleaning up after him!

I don't miss taking care of his health since he was too lazy to do things himself.

I don't miss alot of things, too many to mention.

I needed this post tonight, thanks.

I don't miss being told exactly what I can and can't wear

I don't miss being told constantly about all the ways I have failed to live up to my "duty" as his wife

I don't miss his constant guilt trips about how I wasn't interesting enough in the bedroom, when he was just a psychological disaster when it came to sex.

I don't miss being treated to detailed fantasies of his involving me and other women, and him thinking that this was totally kosher for a husband to want because hey, at least he always wanted ME to be one of the participants

I don't miss being belittled and told everything I like or care about isn't really important, or is even wrong.

And I too do not miss being told he loves me, when the truth is he doesn't know what that word means

I don't miss his lies and deceit.

.......so why do I still miss him?

I've been divorced for over 2 years, separated for nearly 3. And I have never once missed anything about my ex. I guess what I'm saying is, that after 20 years of marriage, I don't miss nuthin'. It wasn't much of a marriage, I guess.

Not missing:

1. The complete selfishness that surfaced in things like grocery shopping (always got foods HE liked and the h&ll with the rest of us, kids included!)

2. That it was perfectly fine to spend $$ money as long as it was to HIS benefit.

3. Waking up in the middle of the night gasping and choking as a result of the stench that emanated from him that gathered in a toxic cloud that hung over the bed. Swear it was green in color!

4. Being unable to roll the truck windows down for fresh air because he farted and loved to share his scent. Me and the kids started quoting Fat Bast*rd from Austin Powers when he says "everybody loves their own brand".

5. The nights left alone as he "went to the store" and it ended up taking 8 or more hours to get a pack of smokes.

6. Constantly being left to my own devices after undergoing brain surgery. This means, no offer from him of assistance in getting in & out of our track, never walking beside me in case I fell (double vision for nearly a year, balance issues, etc)


I am finding more and more things I no longer miss and I'm sure the list will continue to grow til finally I won't miss HIM!

Default Re: We don't miss....

I won't miss....

• The weekends being left alone or left to look after our daughter while he went to 'play out' with his mates on his bike or jet skiing.

• Spending all his money on himself, the jetski, the motorbike but not paying his share of the bills

• The Absolute lack of romance and affection & getting pushed away when I tried to kiss/cuddle him

• His indifference

• His jealousy & possessiveness - constantly being accused of having an affair & not being allowed a social life.

• The sulking & 2 week long silent treatment when I did ever venture out with work or a friend.

• Calling me lazy because I expected you to help around the house once our daughter came along

• His lack of care or empathy when I am sick yet when he is sick he expected to be waited on hand and foot

• Bad mouthing me to his family telling them I am lazy, lying to them saying he has to do all the washing, cooking, shopping & cleaning?! Yeah right!

• Not defending me if people insult me

• For using my weight as a reason for his affair but never offering to help, join him at the gym - only criticism

• Knowing he is looking me in the eye and lying about anything & everything

• His inability to tell the truth on any subject however small

• His bragging about what possessions he has, how much it cost etc.. Nobody cares!!

• Boasting about his past experiences (it's all lies anyway)

• Him trying to intimidate me and implying you will hurt me if you don't get your own way. Grabbing me round the throat in front of our daughter

• His arrogance, thinking that he knows better than everyone when people ridicule you behind your back for your stupidity

• His ignorance, bigotry and racist comments. I want our daughter to learn tolerance

• His unfaithfulness

• His selfishness and inability to even consider anyone else's needs, desires or rights other than his own

• The one way sex life.. Coming downstairs with just his robe on, stinking of cheap cigarettes & expecting me to satisfy your degrading sexual fantasies without so much as a kiss or a hint of foreplay

• Him expecting me to be grateful for giving him a BJ & in return for nothing

• His childish spoiled attitude to 'your things' it's a f@*king glass - get over yourself!!!

• The way he put things down when he comes in & it living there for the next 6 months

• His ungratefulness

• The way he farts & think it's funny especially when it's the most foul smelling thing known to man.. & teaching our daughter to do the same

• His inability to share anything unless forced to or shamed into it

• His childishness & deep rooted immaturity

• His inability to accept any advice from me, yet taking poor advice from so called friends. Then blaming me for not helping him

• Always assuming the worst of me, that I am somehow out to get him or having a go at him

• Feeling constantly upset because he is treating me like crap for no reason

• Walking on eggshells because I dont know what it is that I have done wrong

• His lack of appreciation for anything I have done for him, or do for him

• His lack of manners, a thank you would be nice once in a while

• His apathy about going away on holiday, I offered to take us to New York, Vegas, anywhere but he was not interested in planning or paying for it

Oh lord that feels better....

I don't miss her leaving our marriage 5 times in 4 years.

I don't miss her adult daughters pursuading her to leave our marriage everyday.

I don't miss her ex telling her how to live her life and her following through w/it

I don't miss her crazy mother telling her that if she came back to me that she would be cut out of her will.

I don't miss letting her back home and knowing that the love nad trust that we invest can be gone in a moment and poof, here it goes again.

I don't miss the fact that she is 48 and acts/lives like she's 18.

I don't miss being responsible for our joy, entertainment, health, food, vacations, bills, running our business, choice of religion, goals, future plans.

I am sooooooooo ready for this divorce to be over and find a partner to share a great life with.

I love my husband so much. Reading all this garbage is just eye opening to how awesome my husband is.

I hope y'all find someone awesome if you haven't already.

I'm with you Mamatomany, I don't miss the hours upon hours he spent chatting with his new facebook friends and the closing down when I walked in the room. Or how he'd do it in the open sitting on the corner of the couch so the computer faced away from all of us…I don't miss him telling me I was crazy when I hrought up the fact that I knew he was talking to 'her' via text or private FB messaging. I dont miss walking in on him while he was reading a text from her and spooking the crud out of him because he was so into his message that he didnt hear me walk up.
