Hey Monica,

Gosh, I had hoped by now that your STBX would have filed the declaration.

The other day, my ex called and wanted to schedule a time to come by to pick up the last of his stuff. He still has his son's twin bed in my shed.

He actually was going to come last Tue (11 Mar) but it was raining so we rescheduled for that Thu (13 Mar). He called on Thu around 8:40 pm and said that he couldn't come because he was still in Austin. I said, "ok." There was a small pause on his part. Then he told me that he was at a job site. Again, I said, "ok." Finally, he told me he was painting houses to make ends meet. Once again, I said, "ok." I think each time, he thought I was going to ask him 1) why was he in Austin, 2) where did he work, and 3) what kind of job was he working. Well, I didn't ask him any questions. I just kept saying, "ok."

I feel just like you do. I don't think I could ever be friends with my ex.

Nice to hear from you. Take care and hope your ex files soon.

All my best,
alamogirl
