I went to the bank to cash in all the change we were saving for a vacation and to take the W off of my joint account. Got to the bank and the coin separating machine was broke. So I will go back. Bank told me I could not remove her and I would have to close it and open a new. The lady asked me why and I smiled and said divorce. I think she thought I was the one wanting the D. I guess that's good. I am starting to not throw out the bad vibes any more.
Told W I was closing our joint account and opening a new one in my name only. Told her I was going to take over paying the bills that she was paying out of the joint account. She did not care about me closing the account. She was more interested in knowing why now. Why all of a sudden I wanted to take over the bills when 2 weeks ago I put it off until we moved. I told her it was something I was going to do eventually any way so I figured now would be good. Besides (and I did not tell her this) She does not need or deserve to know how much I make any more. I have a base pay. But if we have a good week I could make double my base pay.
I told her that I was not going to be able to make a certain payment cause I did not have money. at first the discussion was a little rough. Then it got better. And she said she was proud how I handled the discussion. Dont think it means anything.
She did not notice the big change jar was empty. Wonder how that will play out. She gets nothing.
