melissa - gotta get back to me

[melissag]

OK . . . so I decided to just say something about the photos on match. When H came to pick up the kids, we got them and all their stuff in the car, and then I said,

"H, I have a request of you. I would like you to please take down the photos of our children from your online dating profile. I don't feel comfortable having their photos on the internet for anyone to see. And, I would like you to please remove any photos that were taken by me. I feel, for myself and our children, very hurt and disrespected that you would use photos I took for memories of our special family moments in this way."

(I was literally shaking when I said this. WTF is wrong with me??)

He was semi smiling, shifty eyes, looked kind of surprised, and I almost detected an eye roll toward the end. As I finished, he started edging toward the car and he stammered a bit and said, without even really looking at me, "OK, well, ummm, I'll take care of that and I'm sorry that hurt you." Then jumped in the car.

Honestly, I am getting to the point where when he talks, I hear Charlie Brown's teacher. It's all the same meaningless BS. He has now said he is sorry twice in 24 hours, and neither of them meant anything at all.

I think I will just leave that be for a while. I've got the weekend to just focus on me, so that's what I am going to do.
