Not even sure if old W exists anymore. The more and more I think back on things, the more and more I realize that her behavior is all her. Been this way since the beginning. I think you hit the nail on the head in an earlier post to someone.. I've had the opportunity to stray and never did. She ALWAYS treated me like I was cheating.. probably because deep down she knew she was treating me like crap. Then all of the sudden she up and walks. Whatever.
Update.. W just called to talk to D's. I called her back.. had a good attitude and she talked to the D's. Of course she explained to D5 what "New Year's" was.. like I hadn't. Then she suggested that Daddy wake her up to watch the ball drop. Control. I get on the phone after she was done and she talks about how we did right with the D's. She ask what I was doing for New Years.. let me see... I'm separated and have the kids.. gee what can I do? I told her I would be partying solo. She said she would text me in the New Year.. I said that was OK, but I may not be awake.
We talked about some other things.. kid stuff.. then I told her she got something from the bank today. She had made a big deal the other day about expecting some mail. She asked if I would give her all her mail.. insinuating that I was holding out on her. I told her I give her everything that's addressed to her. She then said "Since you locked me out.. What happens if I have mail and you're not there?" I told her she could wait till I got back.. her reply "What if I need it?" I said "Then whoever is watching the house for me can give it to you... like on my trip.. Friend and his W are taking care of the house." Then it was a big back and forth.. "Why didn't you ask me? They are my dogs and cats too." Several different iterations of this, but I simply responded "I asked them to watch the house." This ticked her off.. she said "Anyway.. I'll talk to you tomorrow." I said "Happy New Year" She said "You too... bye"
Still testing the waters. She will be surprised to find a more rigid individual on this end. My goal is to have the boundaries I need (and the girls), be pleasant, but be firm.
She did mention the ball thing to me.. absolutely no way am I waking a 5 year old up at 11:55 so she can watch the ball drop and then try to get her back to sleep.
No offense.. but what a dumbass thing to say when you won't be there to help. That's her though.. if she were here and we weren't going out, she'd have them up. Goon.
