  1. Susie in Ca... the more I read on this site, the more I that I am not who i want to be. We all deserve happiness... and I need to find it again. I hope my sorrow goes away too. I'm not very practiced (good) at speaking my feelings, particularly if they can be construed as negative. The current man-friend did nothing with me on Friday and Saturday nights other than fall asleep on my couch next to me. Oh.. he did help grill dinner on Saturday. I think I deserve better than that... it was MY father that went through surgery and needed some support. Not someone to come to my house and sleep.

    ok.... enough of that. It's my own doing...I teach him how to treat me. if i don't say anything, he doesn't know it bothers me.

  2. One Popoki, that is true about the teaching him on how to treat you, if you don't say anything, that reading the mind thing is way over-rated. I found out a long time ago that I couldn't change anyone's behaviour unless they wanted to change, not for my lack of trying though due to my own insecurities. From listening to all you say here on the TDK site, you are a good person so please don't let it depress you because he doesn't change.

  3. Same goes for my hubby, One Popoki. I do not receive any empathy from my hubby when it comes to when I am stressed out as he doesn't respond or say anything to me.

    I am chatting with him on Saturday evening and I pause because I was collecting my thoughts and staring at the kitchen floor and he didn't even say, go on or anything. I didn't continue as I figured I was just talking to a wall. I like the idea of what someone else mentioned about changing the locks. I thought about that but I really like is the idea of turning off all the utilities and moving out so that he comes home to just his furniture, the living room couches (I don't want them as they are not that comfortable and are old), dust bunnies and cat fur.

  4. Karin--I helped my sister move out from her ex-husband. I went back in and took all of the toilet paper, Kleenex, and paper towels when she wasn't looking because he deserved it. If we would've left him a tv, I would have taken the remote JUST BECAUSE!

  6. Oh, FondaHonda, I surely wouldn't like to have you for an enemy! Hope we're always friends!!!

  7. What a great idea. I'll have to remember that next time hubby and I argue. Right now, when we argue, I just hang up the phone. He's working 400 miles away from me. LOL so, I can just say, "Good-bye!" click. Then he'll call back and say "I'm sorry, Poopi (my nickname). My bad!" See, I have him trained right.

  8. Hey, I'm not THAT vindictive! This guy was the epitome of every horrible word you can think of. I do have to share something that I did to a date years ago. The guy was an idiot and I had made it clear that we weren't going back to his apt. (like he had tried the previous evening). Well, we went to Whataburger (it was really late), grabbed some burgers, then he headed back to his apt. I had to throw a fit (cell phone in hand and threatening to call police) for him just to take me home. When I got out of the car, I knew I wasn't going to see him again, so I grabbed both bags and headed upstairs to my apt. He kept calling upstairs, then banging on my door. What did I do? Turned up the music and enjoyed binging on Whataburgers! What memories!

  9. FondaHonda, I'm going to be giggling all day on that one. Sure I'll get lots of strange looks, but it will be worth it. Thanks! For the TP story, too!

  10. FondaHonda-I remember Whataburgers!!! I am a hamburger addict!! I think I'd rather have a hamburger than anything on earth (well, maybe a lobster tail every once in a while). When I was very young, I used to visit my grandparents in Louisiana. We were out in the middle of an oil field, and it was a big treat to go to town to get a Whataburger. I had no idea that they were still around. As a child, those burgers were as big as a luncheon plate. Are they still large? Oh, I'm drooling....

  11. Karin in Alameda -- I used to get support and sympathy from the man-friend. Seems to have dissipated ... We love to country dance. The problem right now is that I have tendinosis in my right shoulder and dancing exacurbates the pain. So we did not dance this weekend (besids mee being exhausted emotionally from dad's surgery). This has been an on-going issue for months and I've been getting therapy for 4-5 weeks. He suggests we go dancing on Thursday night... uh no.... did you forget my shoulder hurts just doing routine things?? We JUST talked about it the night before. ugh... I really think I want to be alone ... at least for a while.

  12. Hey all, it makes me so sad to hear about those in difficult relationships and who are unhappy. Sending big hugs and positive thoughts out to you all.

    Just to give everyone an evil grin I have to share a good revenge story. I had a friend who was living with a significant other and thought they had a good relationship. They had even planned a special cruise vacation together. About a week before the cruise her boyfriend told her that he as going on the cruise, but that she was not. He had found someone new and had changed the name on her ticket to the new woman. While he was gone, he expected her to get all her s&*t out of his house. Well while he was gone, she did get all of her stuff out of his house the first day. Then she turned up the heat to 85 degrees, brought in the garden hose and watered his carpets well and spread the quick germinating/fast growing grass seed everywhere, locked the doors and left. He came home to a house that looked like a chia pet and smelled heavily of mildew.

  13. Evil laugh.......

  14. Sorry to hear your are in pain, One Popoki. Sounds like man-friend isn't listening to you when you are letting him know of your shoulder issue. Seems going to a movie might have been good or maybe rent a movie. It seems that with my husband I have to make all the suggestions and decision when we want to do something. Since we cannot afford to go out much and I am tired of being the one to make the plans, we watch movies.

    We subscribe to Netflix at the rate of four movies at a time. We watched Road Hogs Thursday night (I watched about 10 mins before going to bed - it was horrible) and Bread and Tulips on Saturday night (was very good). Last night we watched the Emmys (I didn't really watch just listened) and then we watched a program about ice truckers in Canada who truck loads of items across frozen lakes and the perils of doing this. It was very interesting program. We have two other movies that we will watch sometime this week.

  15. Wow ppearson and FondaHona. Such interesting ways of revenge. I got back at roommate from hell once. She and I were sharing a condo and her boyfriend had basically moved in with us (staying over 4-5 nights a week) and we got into a fight about it all. I figured that at this point I would start looking for a new place to live and gave the landlord notice. Over the next two weeks she started to move things out so I new she was leaving by the end of the month. Well, I found a place, moved all my things out and on the last day, I left the heat turned up to 90 degrees and opened all the windows in the place. The utilities were all in her name so she would have to pay the gas bill when it came. It was about 45 degrees outside so I knew the heat would be blasting all day and night. All of her stuff was gone by then so I figured she wouldn't be coming back. I left my keys on the kitchen counter and locked up. Never heard from her ever again.

    I had a co-worker whose boyfriend wreaked revenge on her philandering by burning all her clothes in the front yard. Yow!

  16. When I left my exhusband the first thing I did was go to my cousin's farm, wring the neck of a chicken and then take said chicken and stuff him into the ex's mailbox. I also mailed him a dead snake. He still has no idea who did it - this has been over 25 years ago - and he still mentions it.

    He swears he has some unknown 'enemy' who's out to get him. I've done other stuff through the years too (I baked him a cake and cut the middle out and filled it with baby frogs - I had my cousin deliver it to his house because it was his birthday -I'da loved to see his face, but I heard about it and I guess that was funny enough) but he has no idea it's me.

    I've slashed his tires, broken his car windows - all kindsa stuff.

    Set all his uniforms on fire once.

    Oh yeah, I'm on my way to Whataburger for lunch!!

  17. That's why I love Carrie Underwood's song 'Before He Cheats'--it's the ultimate in revenge! You mess with a man's car? Whew, watch out!

  18. Did I mention I put syrup and honey in his gastank?

  19. I had a roommate from h*%& once that wouldn't stop drinking my milk up(he had an Uncle that owned a movie theatre,so if he needed money for milk,he could've gotten it). So, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I put Milk-of-Magnesia into a half-gallon of milk & sat back & waited for the numerous trips to the bathroom. He never touched my milk again. I still laugh at the thought.

  20. Gosh, I really hope I never step on any of you guys' toes in any way! The results could be deadly!

  21. It is my sincere wish to stay on the good side of you ladies.

  22. No kidding!

  23. HEY, I didn't sow the grass seeds, I just reported the event! LOL. Yeah some people it doesn't pay to piss off. With my friends, when one of us has gotten hurt, (guys included too) we ususally get together with some beverages and swap all the revenge stories we have heard, send bad mojo thoughts to the offending person and move on. I NEVER want to get on HM's bad side! (I'll have to keep bringing her bacon)

    Karin, Susie, One Popoki and Brandi Lee, I am not sure what the solutions are, but I am in your corner sending prayers that you find them and find the path back to happiness. Life is both too short and too long to be in daily emotional pain. It can and will get better.

    Posted 4 years ago by KYKAT 12 23 #

  24. Thanks ppearson. It really is too short for me to be unhappy.

    I need to grow a spine and tell man-friend I don't need company that comes to my house to eat my food, sleep and watch TV. If I wanted that I'd have married him. LOL

    Posted 4 years ago by 2 Popoki #

  25. Wow, we have some people here who take revenge seriously!! HM, remind me never to tick you off! Your ideas were ingenious! I loved each one and would have never thought of any of that! Good job! Susie, milk of magnesia! Brilliant. PPearson, grass on the carpet, would have loved to see that one! Good job!

    To the rest of you girls, Karin ,One Popoki, Brandi Lee, Susie and anyone else out there dealing with a difficult relationship, I have no other advice to offer. Leave if you can, tolerate what you must, always keep your safety in mind. I wish you all the best in each of your situations. Keep talking. It will help you get through.

    *Makes note, to order 10 cases of extra thick bacon, send ups red to HM and hire BBQ chef to cook it. Gotta kept the lady happy!* Hugs and Purrs.

  26. One of the best revenge stories I heard was from a woman whose boyfriend was cheating on her. While he was away on business for a week, she used the key he had given her to go in to his apartment, call the continuous-loop recording for time and temperature IN TOKYO, and left the phone off the hook. She also made sure she "lost" the key afterwards!

  27. When I broke up with a boyfriend who basically made the mistake to dump me, I called him up at 5:30am for serveral days in a row to wake him. He didn't have to be to work until 10am and he was the type that one he was up, he couldn't go back to sleep. I had thought about slashing his tired on his car but felt it just wasn't worth it as he would figure out it was me. He will get his Karma some day.

  28. Okay..that last posting was fraught with typographical errors. Sheesh, need to check before hitting the send button. Sorry all. The word is suppose to be Several...it should be once he was up not "one"...and it is tires not tired. Typing too fast.

  29. There was a story going around once that a guy had left his wife and taken off with his girlfriend. He had left his very expensive car (don't remember what it was, Mercedes or Jag or something like that) and told her to sell it and he'd come back for the money. She advertised the car for sale, for $1.00. It sold immediately, and when he came home, she handed him his $1.00. This was supposed to be a true story.
