It really isn't too hard... just don't reply to messages unless they are about the kids and urgent. He tried to give advice/problem solve/control on the new car and mortgage stuff but I did not respond. Can't remember if I posted it here or not but he found out via a cattle friend that I was getting a new car. Then texted to tell me he had heard that and was I getting the mortgage handled first?
Well the transmission is going the car needs some overhauls if I keep it so for safety's sake too bad, I am not waiting on the mortgage!
Oh and I accidentally got him 'in trouble' with his insurance agent... He switched our policies to an out of town Farm Bureau last year. When I went to the hometown guy (I work with his wife at school) this morning, he had pulled up all our policies to make me new, separate ones.
Well, when Dan got his insurance on his house he took out a renter's policy. His theory then was that he lived at his parents' still and if we got back together he would just 'flip' it or rent it. Well he moved in and never changed it. So my agent was saying how that was not good for Dan at all because now that he lived there it only covered minimal things at actual value not replacement value (I have replacement value) so he would be screwed if he had a major incident like a storm or fire or flooding. He said he was calling Dan's agent and telling him the situation so he could call Dan and talk about getting REAL homeowner's, not rental insurance. He also got the mortgage as a rental mortgage not residence. Oh well, his problem.
I am doing well. Missy and I stayed up till two a.m. talking, it was great! Now I am hanging out at a Starbucks on the patio while my car gets detailed. Trading it in tonight or tomorrow for something new(er). Starting to get a little cold feet on NEW since I have never had new. Maybe I will, maybe I will get a program car or something with a few thousand miles just do I don't have the big depreciation hit. We'll see when I get there!
Also I am feeling like a responsible grown-up today, in a good way. Going to the insurance agent by myself, choosing the policies I wanted, and getting life insurance for the first time. All good things. I feel better knowing my bases are covered for my kids' sake.
