This is really getting old... My W just cannot speak to me w/o an attitude and acting as if I am the most horrible human being. I spent a great weekend with my kids from Friday night(our anniversary) to Monday morning. Due to my previous work schedule, I only had them from Friday to Saturday.The job situation has changed(for the better) and it gave me a chance to spend more time with my D5 and S4. They wanted to stay Saturday night so I helped my D to call my W to see if it was ok with her. She said yes since she needed me to watch our kids Sunday due to a death in her family. Now the interesting part...
On Sunday, my D asked if they could stay another night since I told her she didn't have school on Monday. WELL...I did the same thing and had my D call my W. This time, she said "no". She asked to speak to me and the "attitude" kicked in. She wanted to know what I was doing and I simply said that they wanted to stay another night and I would drop them off in the morning on my way to work. She said, "I haven't seen them in 2 days"(welcome to the world of the big "D") to which I replied that it has been a great couple of days and that I had planned dinner, showers, and a movie. There was about 5 seconds of silence then she said "ok"(with a BIG attitude).
Later, she called to speak with the kids and when I answered the phone she was very short and abrupt. I politely handed over the phone and let them speak and then ended the call with her very cordially. The next morning the look on her face toward me was as if I had committed a crime and again was very abrupt and had a big chip on her shoulder. When I was leaving she asked if I would be calling at night as usual. I said yes and did call last night and when she answered she starts with:"yeah...what's up". I politely said I was calling for the kids and she gave me a quick "hold on" and handed over the phone.
Is this the same woman that fell in love with me and married me 11 years ago??
I didn't walk out with my kids and start up with OP. Yet, it is as if she must continue to be angry and resentful toward me for ruining the life she pictured she would have.
I am sick and tired of being looked down upon as some low-life. She better be prepared because 50/50 custody is exactly what it means. She had a problem with just 2 days(not even 2 full days) and wait until she only sees them 1/2 the week. Also, I have the kids for T-Day dinner so it should be a reality check when all of her family is there but I, and our kids, are not.
Maybe someday the madness and her bitterness will go away.
