Jilted husband publishes book of 101 ingenious ways to use his ex-wife's marriage gown

Jilted husband Kevin Cotter has turned the heartbreak of his divorce into a nice little profit by publishing a book full of ingenious ways to use his ex-wife's wedding dress.

Kevin, 41, was crushed when his wife of 12 years walked out in 2009, taking all her possessions except the white silk gown.

When he asked her to take the dress back, she refused and told Kevin to 'do what the f*** he liked with it'.

So he did - and for the last four years he has come up with a series brilliant ideas and filled a book with them.

Some of the best include a hammock, a superhero's cape and even a boat sail and he has documented them all on his blog.

It could double as a portable hunting blind in the winter.

Hammock and boat sail? Heap big woman!

Noy necessarily. Remember Julie Andrews' gown in "The Sound of Music"? No limit to the train, even if the caboose is in front.

He is still stuck on trying to please or impress her with all these passive-aggressive hijinks. It’s almost been six years.

Indeed, it’s no mystery why she left this sad sack.

The mystery is why she took so long.

Why move on when you can make money? And he apparently has a new wife, so he’s moved on in the important ways. And now he’s got a book deal.

Gee, I don’t know. Maybe its just me, but sometimes your dignity is worth more than the few dollars his book is going to pull in.

I don’t see him losing any dignity. He’s having fun, sharing it with other people so they can have fun, and now sharing it in a way to make some money. He took a lemon and turned it into 101 different lemonades, seems plenty dignified to me.

If it’s a really nice gown, I would try to sell it. If it isn’t, I’d discard it.

If I was really angry and bitter and the ex said, “do what you want”, I’d purchase a manikin and a wig with roughly her hair color and hair style, dress the manikin in the gown, place the wig on top, stick the manikin in her front yard some evening, soak it in gasoline and light it.

Wasn’t his idea alone. From his blog:

“After my brother, sister-in-law, and parents made some offbeat suggestions for what I should do with the dress at dinner one night I decided to see exactly what it was capable of. We made a list and started putting the dress to work.”

It’s funny the first little while but is mentally sick after 4 years.

Scary actually because that obsession could end up being fatal for her, if he does not get help.

Touchy aren’t you....issues from a lost relationship?

Maybe if he had met her needs she would not have left, so its a two way street out there. Women are just as emotionally crushed by the guy who cheats or leaves, as men are about a wife who gets a divorce.

I don’t think he is humorous, only sad and scary with his obsession about this dress. It might be funny the first time he says something, but four years later?

The guy should have found a way to forgive, and ‘let go and let God’ for his own health and well being.

Unforgiveness never hurts the person it’s aimed at, but hurts the one who can’t forgive....it’s the destructive force of nature that becomes bitterness, which will get the one hurting some disease that ends in death.

You must have forgotten that it’s ALWAYS the man’s fault.

If you have a “Y” chromosome, you are to blame, no matter what happened.

She drives into the pole at the end of the drive? Your fault for parking the motorbike on the sidewalk so she had the full driveway.

She boils the coffeepot dry and starts the kitchen on fire? Your fault for being at work.

She leaves the front door open and the dog escapes and gets hit by a car? Your fault for being in the back yard preparing her flowerbeds for planting.

Just ask my ex...

For real!
