As D13 would say: "OMG!" This just keeps getting better.

I texted W about the replacement birthday present I got her that was coming tomorrow, and told her she could either pick it up tomorrow night, or I could drop it off Saturday morning. (Earlier, I had made an agreement with her to give her an action to go along with words she didn't believe, and that action was replacing a crappy birthday present).

I also reminded her I needed a copy of the dissolution to review.

She got snippy and told me to just keep the present, and I told her that it had her name on it, so would be useless to anyone else - and I said besides I keep my side of our agreement. This goes back to her agreement on 8/16 to commit 100% to our marriage and then going back on it.

The following text exchange was classic - if read in the context that I have been DBing about 6 weeks, and much more heavily lately. Remember that at this point, I don't really care about keeping the rules, I'm ready for dissolution.


Me: "I keep my word and MY side of our arrangements."
W: "Yeah, for maybe the last 6 weeks, guess that makes you man of the year."
Me: "Sorry, I don't live in the past anymore. Have a fantastic night, hope your job interview went well."
W: "Of course you don't live in the past. Why would you care about the damage you've done to me."
Me: "I've done everything in my power for 6 weeks, but apparently I'm just 'acting'".
W: "Yeah, but 6 weeks doesn't magically fix everything!"
Me: "No, you're right, that's way too short an amount of time. But you're the one cutting off the time".

I then had to go help D13 with a hair dyeing mess with this all-natural henna. W didn't respond, so I sent about 40 minutes later:

Me: "Sorry hair dye catastrophe - anyway, lemme know when I can review dissolution copies. Have a great night!"
