The Rollercoaster Ride......2

[Lorie1964]

So, H took D16 out for dinner on Tuesday night. He has not seen her for a week. Previously H and I discussed the fact that last weekend he would not have D16 for his scheduled visit as she had a retreat. I offered to let him have two weekends in a row or adjust weekends, but he never got back to me. So, Tuesday night when he tells D16 goodbye he said he would see her on Friday. I asked, why Friday, had they planned something else. He said, well since I didn't see her last weekend I just thought I would this weekend. D16 says, "Dad, I have plans. You never got back to us about what you wanted to do about my retreat weekend, so I thought you didn't care if you missed a weekend."
H said, "I just thought we would start over on the rotation."
D16, "Well, I have plans this weekend because you didn't discuss this with me or mom,"
I say, "Well, you could still arrange some time together on the weekend if you want."
D16 says, "I just want to keep the schedule the way it was previously planned because I don't want to mess up Easter Weekend plans either."
H says, (deflated), "Okay."

I walk him out the door and said I am sorry she made plans, and this is her decision. He said he understood and he should have discussed it with us when it was previously brought up.
I then say "BTW, I have started getting boxes for your stuff, and was going to pack it, but thought you may want to do that yourself. I said, I am not working I would be happy to pack your stuff if it wouldn't bother you."

H says, "No, I will do it."

I say, "Fine I will continue to get the boxes, because as soon as I start my job we can go over finances and you can go get on with your life."

H says, "We will see."

My minds says, "WTF!?!?!?!" but, I actually say, "The boxes will be in the basement when you are ready to pack up. I am sure you will want to do that soon." I then just walk into the house and left him there standing.

You know, I am not sure what to do at this point. I have dropped the rope and now am feeling more empowered. Especially since I have a job on the horizon and I don't need his paycheck anymore.

My BD is April 19th and that will be the 6th month mark that I found out about the affair and H moved out. Thankfully, I have plans with the girls that night.

Many Blessings to all!
