The Tedious Married Man's Script

Bloke I work with - I have always really liked him and never had any creepy vibes off him. Appeared to be good at his job, pleasant company and if he did mention his wife it was in a nice way.

Tonight, texts around tea time about work stuff. Turned into "my wife doesn't understand me"

Yawn.

Honestly, does he think it's original? I'm nearly 50. Been hearing this shit from married me for 35 years. Yawn.

Does he understand his wife...

So fucking disappointing.

Must not have occurred to him to just have an angry wank like an adult.

The reason men go for younger women is that the ones who've been around a bit longer are wise to all their bullshit.

KloppsTeeth · 13/09/2021 01:31

I don’t understand him either. Grin

Gawd, I'm just annoyed with myself.

We have to make a video for work. "You are really photogenic, that makes it easy"

"you are 50? No way!"

"Im not wearing as well as you are, I'm going deaf. It's congenital"

"is there anything unusual about your body?"

OH FOR FUCKS SAKE.

I'm photogenic in exactly the same way as an erupting volcano.

Red hot. Probably a menopausal flush.

Nothing worse than a randy, married bore trying these pathetic lines to get his leg over like a dog going at a cuddly toy.

PurpleOkapi · 13/09/2021 01:58

Did he say "I need someone who understands my situation?" That exact wording always seems to make an appearance with these types.

Kanaloa · 13/09/2021 02:14

‘We don’t even live like a couple anymore’ is the natural follow up I believe. Or if they have children ‘we’re only together for the kids.’

I’d be tempted to reply ‘work it out with a relationship therapist.’

GrimDamnFanjo · 13/09/2021 02:19

I'd be keeping a note of those texts for HR....

Turned into "my wife doesn't understand me"

I remember this at university from our landlord. Even at that age, three female students knew enough to say, "mate, your wife understands you perfectly"

TheChiefJo · 13/09/2021 02:40

Yeah, because he's so complicated. 🙄

They all give you some variation of that.

1forAll74 · 13/09/2021 03:58

Yes, I have been hearing all these such men statements for years, I am in my 70's. so that's a lot of men crap statements to endure,

BathMatToe · 13/09/2021 04:16

Yeah it's the same shit from 20 years ago.
I worked in admin telling all over... the amount of 'here's my card if you ever want to meet for a coffee' on my leaving days.

Yeah I'd love to meet you, bring your wife and kids as well maybe?

Or the classic 'my wife doesn't understand me...' like the OP.

He's anyone had 'if only I'd met you first...' or 'pity I'm married...'

Yeah, I'd be snapping you up pal, you're absolutely beyond alluring to a 19 year old temp. Can't wait to become embroiled in your custody arrangements while you pick me up in your volvo and we hang out in a dodgy pub.
I'm there.

BathMatToe · 13/09/2021 04:18

So many typos I'm so angry. Lol.
Temping not telling ffs.
Has anyone... not he's you autocunt

Monty27 · 13/09/2021 04:19

Block block block

BathMatToe · 13/09/2021 04:25

There's literally wall to wall cock if you need it as a woman. Do men really think we want to have another woman's dregs.
