I haven't had hot water in my house in over a week. I've had 3 visits from plumbers and three from the gas company and the problem is still not fixed. I probably will have 1-2 more visits from the plumber (and have to get the tank replaced) before I have hot water again, hopefully no later than Thursday.
Not one of the plumber visits occur outside of office hours so although I've worked really hard to minimize it, I've missed a few hours of work to resolve this problem by myself, even though the house is still jointly owned. Yesterday I asked STBX to step up to meet the plumbers this week and he declined. He also declined to take the kids for a weeknight this week (hasn't had them for a weeknight since before Christmas). On top of all THAT, he is starting to push back on kid activities that take place on his weekends.
Saturday he DID stay at the house for about an hour during a six-hour window of waiting for the gas company so I could get my hair cut. I asked him if he wanted the rest of his sweaters (about 30 of them) and he said AGAIN, "No, I don't think I want to keep all of them so I'll wait and go through them later." I said (kind of testy) "Or you can take them NOW and go through them at your place." He looked annoyed but didn't push back, so I stuck as many as I could fit into shopping bags and gave them to him.
Then he had the nerve to ask me how things were going on the divorce!!!
I am beginning to loathe the sight of him.
