You have to wonder what they do when they find out you're dating again. It's like they can do whatever they want, but if you do?
Heh! That's that other shoe I expect to drop some day, for sure. When it does I expect the sparks to fly. She'll point the finger at me and claim that I was the one who gave up on our M.
To that I'd say, "Whatever."

Dealing with more B-S from xW today. We had a scheduled parent-teacher conference to meet with S8's third grade teacher. When I arrived, I discovered that xW had gotten there several minutes ahead of time and was talking with the CCR teacher. In this pre-meeting the CCR teacher had scheduled an IEP meeting for Friday, which xW had already agreed to attend. I was then presented with the option of attending. The CCR teacher apologized for the short notice, but it was apparent that xW didn't really care whether I showed up or not. I am certain she prefers that I do not.
The good news is that S8's teacher glowed about his progress this term, for which I am very glad. The bad news is that xW's shenanigans have put me in a bind regarding work -- I was not scheduled to be off that day.
...
I noted that xW's mother, the vitriolic ex-MIL, was wearing a shirt that I had bought xW as a souvenir during our honeymoon many years ago. I hadn't seen the item in so long, it surprised me. It was unmistakeable, having a distinctive design that ex once seemed to treasure. No longer, quite obviously.
So, xW thinks so little of the gifts I've given her over the years that she'll cast them off callously. And then allow her mother to wear them instead. So classless.
Whatever. She can melt her wedding bands down along with all the other jewelry and other personal items I've given her over the years.
