Fake it til you make it...

[TOhioLiberal]

...anyone every hear of this phrase? I'm trying it out, to see if it'll work for me. Example: The STBE came by this afternoon to pick up some more of his crap. As a side note, this man has more stuff than one person ought to. Anyway, we had another chat. The gist of it was, that he thinks that #1 son and his gf is being mean to me and not feeding me. I'm thinking :wtf: There's nothing wrong with the relationship between my son his gf and I. I told him he's projecting again. I said that he is obviously feeling guilty over the way he's treating me; and then projecting onto my son. Then he said that he misses me. I said, 'I'll bet you do.' :D I gave him a little gift 'to remember me by' He looked kinda misty for a minute and said he has plenty of things to remember me by. 'Well now you have one more,' said in a sweetly sarcastic voice. :7

I think it's gonna work. That and a healthy dose of sarcasm...

1. You know, one of the few upsides of divorce is you don't have to listen to horseshit any more.

[TOhioLiberal]

2. That's so true rug...

...I haven't missed listening to him at all.

[billyoc]

3. Oh, I certainly have, and I've done it. It works.

:hi:

[TOhioLiberal]

8. I hope so billy...

...he certainly not worth crying over, I can tell you...

[ThomCat]

4. It's a good expression, and sometimes it works.

:hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

9. Here's hoping...

:toast: How are you this evening, m'dear? :hug:

[ThomCat]

11. I'm heavily medicated tonight and still in a lot of pain.

I'm sick to my stomach. If my meds can't get this under control I'll have to consider a trip to the ER.
:(

Not a good night. I'm online trying to distract myself from the pain while the meds sink in and make me stupid.

[TOhioLiberal]

15. Aw, I'm sorry you're hurting...

...here's a careful hug, to make you feel a little better...:hug:

[VenusRising]

5. I'm a big believer in sarcasm.

I'm glad something is working for you. Keep it up!!

:hug::loveya:

[TOhioLiberal]

10. It's better said...

...that it's working for now. One day at a time, ya know?

[Shine]

6. Sarcasm definitely serves its purpose.

good on ya. :hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

13. He didn't know what to make of it...

...confusion is a valuable weapon as well.

[Deja Q]

7. A little gift? I thought he was the one with the little package...

:hide:

Fortunately, the STBE will be an E soon enough - you definitely deserve to be free!

:pals:

[TOhioLiberal]

14. Now Hypno,

...I don't remember mentioning his shortcomings. :rofl:

[Deja Q]

17. Well, you could if you wanted to.

:evilgrin:

[TOhioLiberal]

18. Let's just put it this way...

...if all your boasting is true, you certainly 'outgun' him. :evilgrin:

[Deja Q]

19. Hmmm...

:evilgrin:

[SPKrazy]

12. Fake it til you make it

why not? if you are striving towards something, fake it until it feels real.

sarcasm has it's place for sure

:hug:

[TOhioLiberal]

16. I can't help wanting to stick the knife in a little deeper...

Does that make me a bad person? Or just human?

[LibraLiz1973]

20. Why would your son and his gf be responsible for feeding you?

Does he mean they don't give you food money OR that they don't make you food?

What little gift did you give him?

So confused...... anyway- hoping today is a good daY!!!

[TOhioLiberal]

21. My son and his GF...

...are responsible for feeding me because they have jobs, and money and I do not. The little gift was a coaster made out of plastic canvas to set his coffee mug on. Something to remember me by. His desk is real wood, and he's very fussy about putting things on it. He'll use it and think of me every time he does. After living with him for 27 years, I do know where best to stick a knife in his back, metaphorically speaking.

Today's not a good day, but I'm faking it.

[LibraLiz1973]

22. Sorry today was not a good day

But happy that your faking it.
Your right- fake it til you make it.

Do you have any job interviews lined up? Could you possibly file for spousal support?
(If you can, you should!)

[TOhioLiberal]

23. No interviews...

...I haven't had an interview in months. Toledo is a pit. I'll have to look into the spousal support thingie.

[LibraLiz1973]

24. What is the status of your son & his gf

moving? I remember last week you said they were waiting for word back on an apartment.
Did that go through?

Are you making any plans? Selling the house, moving from Toledo? What about putting the house up for rent & dividing the profit from that between you and STBE.

I hope you do look into spousal support.

Just trying to think of anything that might help you.

[TOhioLiberal]

27. They never heard back on the apt.

I'm moving to Texas early next month :woohoo: He can deal with selling the house.

[LibraLiz1973]

28. Way to go YOU!!!!!!!

Yeeeeeee Haaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh


Sounds super duper!!

[IndianaJones]

25. Your ex should carry that responsibility, should he not? nt.

[DS1]

26. Was that 'gift' a BJ?

Because that's the only thing that I can think of. Perhaps I'm not that romantic. :shrug:
