I had another date last night night and I needed XW to pick the kids up a little early,only 15 minutes early. I asked her at around 2pm and she said she had plans but she would see what she could do. There have been countless times that I have kept the kids an hour later because of XW's job and I felt like this was just another reminder of how selfish she is. I wrote this,
"15 minutes early is not too much to ask. How many times have I let you pick the girls up late?"
After that message she tried to call me but I did not answer. I have a strict "text only" rule now. I sent her another text while she was trying to call me for the 3rd time in a row...
"I don't want to talk to you XW. Just be here at 6:30."
She responded with...
"I would prefer talking for a minute. Texting is distracting in my mtng. Please call."
I ignored that one and left my phone to charge. I came back about 30 minutes later and found more messages. This is what she wrote,
"I will get there as early as possible. I don't want to screw up your plans and I like when we could be flexible since it benefits the girls when we work together. I get that you hate me but not talking will make it hard to work as a team for the girls."
"I will plan to be there at 6:15. I hope you will consider talking to me at some point."
I responded with, "be here at 6:30. That is what's fair."
XW- "I can be there early."
I left it alone at that point and changed me reservation for a later time. XW still showed up early at about 6:05. Funny how all last year I prayed for everyday for her to make contact with me and she never did. She was so wrapped up in her OM. Now I need something for my own mental health and I am hurting the kids. NOW she wants me to talk to HER. That little comment she made about me hating her shows maybe a tiny bit of remorse? I doubt it. I still hear "me me me me me" from her.
