NDDT, I'll take a second look, but I'm sure yours is under your couch as well.
Well like clock work W is calling again. Now she is really sappy or really snippy. She asks why I didn't come see S during the weekend. She asked to have him all weekend since grandpa was in town and I agreed with her that it would be good for S to see him. So then she asks if I'll keep him overnight, which I can't since I have plans later tonight and I say that she will have to pick him up at the designated time. W freaks, don't you love him, don't you miss him? Said sure I do, then she asks "Don't you miss us?"
Well I set her off with this, I told her to quit second guessing her decision. W snapped back that she wasn't and I said sure you are, you want to know how I feel about you, and with the D going forward I don't really care to explore it.
She got rather upset, couldn't tell if she was crying, but asked how I could just drop "them" like a rock, etc. I explained that he is my boy and I love him and I will always take care of him and be his dad, but she has made the choice to not want me as a H, so she should quit dwelling on it and move forward.
Then she asked if I was seeing anyone else and if that was why I had plans, at first all I said was that I had plans. Then she asked again in her stern voice, and all I said is yes, there are women present when friends and I go out. This seemed to lessen her guilt, I got a good for you you need to do that.
Then she asks if she can take S on a vacation. I ask her why wouldn't you be able to? You know I wouldn't say no. She tells me that she wants my approval, of which I remind her that was what she said was wrong in our M, that she thought I had to be the final say on everything and control everything. It truly is sad, my W has carried the Womens Lib flag for years and now that I'm stepping back I realize just how weak of a women she is. I look around at some of the women I have meet recently and the ones in my life and all I can say is it is my W's way of a false ego boost. Well she will follow in her mothers foot steps and make all the same mistakes, hell she even has the same degrees from school. It's all just too funny and sad to watch.
Not sure why I'm even writing this, I want to say I don't care, but I do. But I'm not hurt by it, just wish she would wake up because her pain from this is going to be rough down the road and I don't want to see her hurt, but I'm not playing any more.
