Yesterday was the appointment to get our taxes done. I was concerned that H would use this opportunity to have a process server there to hand me D papers. So, I dropped off my part of the paperwork early and did not show up for the appointment. I was sick of dancing to H's tune and they didn't need both of us there anyway.
And sure enough, my phone started ringing, my cell started ringing, and I think H just couldn't believe that I wouldn't show up. He finally texts me saying I need to review and sign our taxes. I text back this morning: ok.
So H shows up this morning unannounced, knocking, ringing the doorbell, and I thought about not answering because he's so cold and distant. But, I answer the door and H tries to walk inside so I step out onto the porch. I see he has a big envelope and he says, "I have something for you to sign". I take it, thinking it is our taxes, but....Ta-Da!!!! It's D papers. As soon as I see what they are, I shove them back at him and say," You can't serve these to me yourself!"
Then, just before I go back inside, I say, "Jimmie, don't you ever come to my house again. I would never dream of going to yours." I closed the door as H slunk away.
I know I backslid, but I swear, WHAT A DUMBASS!!! A spouse cannot serve the other spouse D papers, a third party has to do that in this state. And he wanted me to just sign them then and there after a quick read-through!!!! Either he's got a real winner for a lawyer, or he's trying a quickie do-it-yourself deal so he can hurry up and marry his single-mom-gf-with-two-kids. Blech!!
I really am done now. I guess we all have our limits.
But,if H wants this D so bad, he can do all the heavy lifting. I can't believe that H is so deluded that he thinks I would just sign away my marriage on the porch of my own home. And it is my home, I bought it 20 years before marrying H.
