But I almost had to smirk reading what he did. It's so predictable of someone that finally realizes that they don't have the control that they use to..they have to go and pull a childish act like this. Of course he knew that you would pay it anyway! And if he took his name off on that, why didn't he tell you the exact date he was going to do it, so that you could contact the utility to set up the account in your own name. You would have lost the current budget plan amount, but you wouldn't have been without power.
I dealt with the utilities when our house was sold and I had to move to an apartment. If they know that there's been a divorce, and things have to be set up differently, my experience is that they go out of their way to help you. Mine even suggested some further things I could do if I found out that my income was insufficent to pay the monthly costs. I thanked her and told her I would do okay..but I thought it was really courteous of her to ask. If your husband would have explained what the circumstances were, they would never have cut off the utility..they would have got in touch with you to see if you stil wanted to continue it once his name was off.
Besides, I thought utilities had to give a shut off warning to people before they actually do it...you didn't receive any notice of a pending shut off? Strange. Wonder if that was his doing to.
Nice little 'last stab' comment he put in there about you saying he was still the father. LOL Sigh.
Like someone else mentioned. Karma. Sorry you're having to go through this, but things will eventually settle down and you won't have to deal with this type of thing.
Yes...we still love them, but....the 'in love' part feels like a fading memory sometimes. As someone else asked...'where have we heard that before?' LOL There were times during our 30 year marriage that I didn't really feel 'in love' with him, but I knew I 'loved' him. And eventually the 'in love' part would come back. I figured it was kind of like an ebb and flow thing in any marriage.
I still remember what it felt like to be 'in love' with my H, and I'm sure you remember too. My thoughts are that our XHs still have those memories/feelings at times too, but may never express it to us. I have no doubt at all that their love for us will always be there too...that I'm almost positive of.
Wishing you less stress filled days ahead.
Women are angels. And when someone breaks our wings, we simply continue to fly...on a broomstick. We are flexible
