I'll start. Mine said the reason he signed up for online dating was because dd and I would not go owl-watching with him one night. He said it like it was a perfectly reasonable thing for an almost 50yr old to have said...He still thinks this is reasonable. Hopefully, the divorce will not be too long.

"She kissed me so it would have been rude not to kiss her back for a bit."

Hmm

I should point out (due to DH's emphatic denials) that this was ex-DP and not my lovely current DH....

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/06/2012 22:22

Who wouldn't want to go owl-watching parsley? You and DD were BU Grin

ImperialBlether · 01/06/2012 22:25

Because I was too strong and she was weak and needed him. So he shagged her.

sarahseashell · 01/06/2012 22:26

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/06/2012 22:27

sarahseashell · 01/06/2012 22:29

when alan was going on about hunstanton owl museum..

chocoraisin · 01/06/2012 22:29

because he is an unconventional person who shouldn't have to live within the confines of a traditional relationship. one may wonder why he got married in the first place then? Hmm oh, and it was just a chemical reaction he had no control over, he just had to have sex with her. What a romantic hey?

"When I tell them how I treat women they leave anyway"

No, seriously.

sarahseashell · 01/06/2012 22:30

I can't remember the rest of the episode now - was it the one where he had the date with that woman and said 'I didn't realise any money was changing hands?"

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/06/2012 22:31

Oookaaaay. But they think what they are saying is reasonable, no?

sarahseashell · 01/06/2012 22:31

choco yeah he might've mentioned that before you got married!

Firepile · 01/06/2012 22:33

Because I wouldn't let him cook, build flatpack furniture, or clean the toilet.

ParsleyTheLioness · 01/06/2012 22:34

Sarah will watch again to check...I blame his mother. She brought him up to believe he was Very Speshul Cos He Had a Willy. Everything he does is fine. She has cut me off, as if I were shagging the milkman or something...

HRHerrena · 01/06/2012 22:36

imperialblether there was a whiff of that with my ex-P as well...

Nobhead · 01/06/2012 22:49

Sarah- was itthe one where he went to the owl sanctuary with Jill the only woman he didn't make redundant? She covered him in chocolate mousse and Alan was concerned that it would look like a dirty protest.

AngelNanny · 01/06/2012 23:02

My ex told me he just needed to off load emotionally....
To which I replied, I don't think emotional was the only way u offloaded! Grin

MrsRhettButler · 01/06/2012 23:05

Shock HereIGo! Was he very surprised when that didn't melt your heart?
