Well another bit of a strange occurrence I'd like to journal.

H picks up D12 at a friends house this morning at about 10:30. He takes her to a local Wal Mart. She gets a couple cheapie movies she's been wanting and then they go over to the microwave section.
H is looking at the microwave and muttering to himself about having to buy one and spend the money.

They make their purchases and as they're walking through the parking lot H's phone indicates he's getting a text message. D12 said she could see that it was ow that had texted him. He flips open his phone, reads it and emits a huge sigh. D said he snapped the phone shut and put it away. Now granted, it may have not been a message that needed an answer but is that a nice way to react when you get a text from the "love of your life?"

A very wise friend (thanks CW) gave me a light bulb moment. She said, "No, that is not the way you react to someone you're in love with. It's the way a teenager acts when they get an order from their parent." I think she may have something there. I've long expected that the ow has control of every penny spent in their house.

I believe ow will not be happy when I receive my half of the divorce settlement. She will probably be only half as attracted to H then. LOL
