It must be pretty darn cold outside today, 'cause H*ll just froze over -- my W responded to my email letter!
Surprise, surprise.
Here is her (rather terse) reply (edited to protect the innocent):
"Your words sound very good. But you still treat me like a mosquito. You didn't listen to my recommendation about how to time the payments from the joint bank account & you overdrafted it again. It bothers me. I bother you. You acted like you resented my presence before we separated & I know that will just intensify as it has with other people you resent over the years & your job etc...... Why would I want to go back to that?"
I am giving this some time before crafting a reply -- or not sending a reply at all, if I so determine.
(The overdraft is a total non-issue -- the account has overdraft protection. I knew it was going to be close, but not that worried. I am not sure why she gets so upset about it -- other than her fumbling for some wedge issue to throw in my face. All part of the alien master plan to keep me on the defensive.)
