Re: Let’s create a playlist! What ear worms live in our SSpouse psyche?

I can’t believe I haven’t seen this post yet! I actually made my own support/strength/I will survive playlist last September on Spotify. I call it Dirty Laundry (which has a sad significance). If anyone wants a link send me a private message.

It’s not geared toward the straight spouse, but really any partner who has been screwed over.

A great one is an 80s hit by The Thompson Twins called Lies.

“You told me you love me, so I don’t understand. Why promises are snapped in two - words are made to bend…”

Sorry guys but this came to mind today... summarizing my 2.5 year exit from TGT.     RIP SInead..
Last Day of our Acquaintance - Sinead O'Conner 

This is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk, but you won't listen to me
I know what your answer will be

Iknow you don't love me anymore
You used to hold my hand when the plane took off
Two years ago there just seemed so much more
And I don't know what happened to our love

Today's the day our friendship has been stale
And we will meet later to finalize the details
Two years ago the seed was planted
And since then you have taken me for granted

But this is the last day of our acquaintance
I will meet you later in somebody's office
I'll talk, but you won't listen to me
I know your answer already

But this is the last day of our acquaintance (oh-oh-oh)
I will meet you later in somebody's office (oh-oh-oh)
I'll talk, but you won't listen to me (oh-oh-oh)
I know your answer already (oh-oh-oh)I know your answer already (oh-oh-oh)
I know your answer already

Re: Let’s create a playlist! What ear worms live in our SSpouse psyche?

Well, I have a funny story for anyone who cares, when my ex disclosed to me in December last year I went and stayed at a friends house for a few days. I took his car as he needed my car (the family car with kids car seats in it), and being a Tesla, it has its own Spotify account set up in it…. It’s possible that I added a few songs to his ‘favourites’

Fuck You by Ceelo Green
Fuck You by Lily Allen
ABCDEFU by Gayle

And I also love Flowers by Miley Cyrus (although got overplayed 🙃), and I am Woman by Emmy Meli

These songs are all in my ‘Fuck You’ playlist… one day I’ll have a less angry playlist, but for now, it’s angry 😂

Just been listening to Mine by Kelly Clarkson which gets me in the feels too 😭

mine/Lyrics

You know I question every motive, everything you say
Thought with you, maybe my heart wasn't meant to break
Can't believe I let you in, I can't believe I stayed
As long as I stayed, yeah
I hope one day someone will take your heart and hold it tight
Make you feel like you're invincible deep inside
And right when you think that it's perfect, they cross a line
And steal your shine
Like you did mine
Go ahead and break my heart, that's fine
So unkind
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Oh, love is blind
Why am I missin' you tonight?
Was it all a lie?
Someone's gonna show you how a heart can be used
Like you did mine
And now, I second-guess my thoughts, every step I take
I'm losin' hope in love, and I've lost all in faith
Yeah, for a dreamer, I just close my eyes and it's all blank
I have you to thank, yeah
I hope one day someone will take your heart and hold it tight
Make you feel like you're invincible deep inside
And right when you think that you'll try again, they cross a line
And steal your shine
Like you did mine
Go ahead and break my heart, that's fine
So unkind
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Oh, love is blind
Why am I missin' you tonight?
Was it all a lie?
Someone's gonna show you how a heart can be used
And you keep talkin', it'll come back, karma
Is the truth, I don't make you look bad, you do, darlin'
Sabotage, your choice of art
Who the hell do you think you are?
Go ahead and break my heart, that's fine
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Why am I missin' you tonight?
Someone's gonna show you how a heart can be used
Like you did mine

Brilliant SWinNZ LOL

I've gone past the need to listen to angry songs...it did my insides no good!
But if I ever listen to a "fuck you" song....A always comes to mind
