At first it seemed that it was a bad situation you were in, but now it seems that things make sense about why your ex ditched your mooching butt. You don't have a job, yet use your time to look up ancient laws that wouldn't help you at all. Instead of using that time to look for jobs, you might as well be learning how to become a wagon wheel maker.
I've been told I shouldnt explain myself...but that hit a nerve that harkens back to my ex trying to rewrite our R history calling me lazy and whatnot.
In the almost two years I've been unemployed...I've had to get my ex to pay the bills a grand total of zero times. Because it's based on the percentage of your previous position, I made enough money on unemployment to pay the mortgage, the gas bill, the electric bill, the water bill, the phone bill, and any and all household repairs/upkeep every month without missing a payment. She paid for the food, garbage collection (quarterly), and general household necessities like toilet paper or hand soap. That's it.
In addition, I'm looking online for jobs every day and sending out resumes as often as position come along in my area. I could have gotten a McJob like my ex wanted me to...making less than half of what my unemployment is providing, causing us to struggle to pay the bills and forcing my ex to truely assume half the bills.
It pisses me off to no end to hear her or anyone else call me lazy or say I was mooching off her, when my income (on unemplyment no less) was much more than what she is making even with her under the table pay. I'm sick of her rewriting our R history making it sound like she had to go without because of me...when I never bought one damn extravagant thing...and yet she who makes $9/hour bought $40 to $50 a week in lottery tickets, spent over $100 every couple of weeks to get her hair and nails done, bought tickets to every kind of raffle and charity event anyone came around selling, bought a new designer purse or two every couple of months(real Coach, real Louis Vitton), bought a new pair of shoes every two or three months instead of just keeping the ones she had clean (in fact...this past week she bought a new pair of shoes because the ones she was wearing, which werent that old to begin with, "smelled"...instead of washing them she tossed them and bought a new pair at $70).
This is the kind of crap she pulled day in and day out...and then has the gaul to say I'm lazy and she spent all her money on me while I layed around at home doing nothing. And that "nothing" to her included taking care of D3 morning/noon/night, cooking meals for all of us, washing and ironing her clothes, cleaning the house, running her errands when she didnt get to, scheduling appointments for her, and anything else I forgot to mention.
Sorry...but I refuse to allow myself to be painted as lazy or a mooch...especially since my ex likes to throw that around so much.
