It's taken me a bit of reading to get caught up with all the news around here...plenty happening for you GAG and Sanderika, too. Hi Rabbit!!
Had a great time with D and she had a really successful week.
As brief as I can manage......
Before we left D and I discussed the week with H and when he could come to watch D race and he provided the excuse he had to work on his days off. (He did say he could come two morning sessions.) I did remind him that he was only working casually but I made no other comment. However, his working excuse didn't sit very comfortably with me......
Day 1 I text D's results. Day 2 H calls and wants to know how D is and all about her race from the night before. All very pleasant.
That night I text results once again and H replied. I sent an immediate text back to ask if he could speak........I had some car trouble and needed some advice. Got no response so sorted the problem myself (and hoped I was taking the correct action!!)
Later on I realised.....H was at a concert; certainly not hard at work. Although annoyed that he had lied about working and that he could afford these tix but very limited support for D I didn't mention it.
24 hours later a text from H with a request for more information about D. I asked why he hadn't responded to my text. He said he had but realised the next morning that it did not send. No apology or check if things were ok or ask why I wanted to speak ( I don't usually ask H to speak). Then no further contact.
Two days later I saw H leaving swimming venue. He didn't see me. I text him and suggested that he could have stayed a little longer as I was on timekeeping duty ; ) He replied that he had to work. I commented on D's great swim that morning and he agreed.
An hour later H text to say he would be seeing his solicitor to sell our house if I didn't get things settled by the end of Jan. I said as I have a million times before that it was up to him to come and pick up the paperwork. He claimed I refused to give him the paperwork. I denied my refusal but offered paperwork on my return.
I offered over the next few days to provide further details about D's results. (I didn't mention the concert but D did.) He either ignored my messages or declined the offer.
On my return home I sent another message. He replied, stating I only ever thought about myself and that he was tired of the 'same old, same old.' He said he would no longer be in contact and would no longer be a taxi to D and that I should leave him alone.
