I am cutting and pasting a note I wrote this morning below for you to read and respond if you want to...nobody responded to me on the other thread. (Big un-surprise).
I just need to add to that note ... that H called me again this evening and asked if I got his message? (Duh) I guess he doesn't realize I called him back this morning because I got his message, but oh well.
Anyway, he says he will call me tomorrow night to see where to meet and make arrangements for me to hand over my Income Tax statements so he can "take it to the lady (H&R Block) to fill out". He says he's being decent to me by doing this. I basically said I didn't want to play unless he can play nice - and yes, I was crying when he called, but I held it pretty good.
I guess he thinks he is being decent. What he doesn't realize is that I already knew it would cost us both more money to do it separately. I feel like he's only doing this to "save money." It really has nothing to do with "being decent" to me. But he did make a point to say that he will pay the IRS whatever we will end up owing. (He feels like that because I claimed myself last year instead of claiming zero dependents - we have no children).
Anyway, here's what I wrote this morning...
I have read up on a couple of threads, and it seems our spouses are coming out of the wordwork these days. And, it's all about tax time. Mine actually called me last night (big surprise) and left a message (I didn't answer the phone when he called).
It appears that he wants to know if I "want to file jointly" since it saves him a lot of money. (Well, he mentioned that it would save us both money, but still). His voice sounded hurried and anxious and annoyed that he had to call me.
Anyway, I didn't call him back until this morning. And even then, he was very abrupt. "Hurry up, poet. I'm at work, and I'm in the bathroom and the crews are coming in, and I have to get ready for them. What do you want?"
I said that he could call me back when he has time to talk, but he began to insist that I talk right then because he wouldn't be able to call me back until tonight. I repeated myself, said goodbye and hung up, again while he was in the midst of telling me to hurry up and tell him what I want.
I deserve to be treated with much more respect than he's willing to give and I see other WAS's who treat their other half with so much more respect. I'm so sick of this.
But, if you read this, then, thanks for looking in, on me. I appreciate it when someone checks up on my well being.
