X called this afternoon about ten minutes before she said she could take kids back. She was very appologetic about the time and I interrupted her by saying, "You're fine, in fact you're ten minutes early." She mentioned comming to my place to get kids and I told her I would bring them to her as I was going somewhere anyway.
About 30 minutes later she called again. This time I answered the phone by saying, "If you keep calling me like this I'm going to have to get a bluetooth." She appologized again and said she stopped by the grocery store on the way home. "No problem, we haven't left yet," I answered. She then asked if I would stop and pick up something she forgot on the way to her place. I said I would.
On the way to her place I called her and when she answered I told her, "For an X-wife you sure are a lot of trouble." I was being funny. I hadn't picked up what she wanted as I was trying to get somewhere before they closed. I/she could pick it up later easily.
After dropping off kids she called and asked "one more favor," if I would pick up her dry cleaning (yes, I am serious). I bowed out gracefully by saying I couldn't at the moment and the cleaners might be closed later so if she needed it before Monday she had better pick it up herself.
She called a little later and blew up at me. Was angry I didn't do what I said I would (pick up the item) and that I had made the comment about her being a lot of trouble for an X-wife. This was possibly a 180 as I don't recall addressing her as my X-wife before. Although she didn't mention it no doubt declining to pick up her dry cleaning also contributed.
She's a loon.
On some level I think this talk of me going out with her co-worker has rattled her although she hides it very well. I have noticed on other occasions when she thinks I might be "done" with her she comes up with reasons to contact me because of the children or things that involve us both as the FS isn't complete. I don't know if she is aware of this on a conscious level or not. She has commented more than once that she doesn't know what her own reaction will be when I begin dating.
She's still in love with me. She's still angry with me. I believe on one hand she would like for me to go out and relieve her guilt. On the other hand she doesn't want me to go out with someone else.
She's a loon.
