I am going out with a friend tonight because she wants to *meet guys.* I hope the universe helps me through this. She has no guy friends so we are kind of at opposite ends of the spectrum. I'll look kicky, bring my A game sense of humor, and enjoy a cocktail.
Air conditioning is out. It was 86 in my house. I looked towards the bathtub in hopes of seeing an ocean, but no such luck. Toilet is overflowing. So not to be graphic, but overflowing toilet and heat= not a tropical paradise. Hopefully these things get resolved today because the house is falling apart. I need to sell, but I have to fix to get it ready to sell and even then I'm not sure I can get what is owed. I don't really want to short-sale....Another topic for another day.
X Mr. GB sent a barrage a text yesterday saying "these kids are expensive", "he doesn't make x kind of money", and that "what he owes me is more than one of his checks." I can't resist a bit of snark just on this board (I swear I was neutral and pleasant with him)....This was never a concern when I was the one working and he was napping and playing video games. I understand compassion and empathy, I swear I do. However, I must get over this. I have resentment to the fact that he did not contribute much financially and now that he works, he wants to tell me that paying bills is tough. Yes, X Mr. GB, I am aware of that.
He then said it was very expensive to send 3 kids to private school. I reminded him that oldest son gets a full scholarship and that the children absolutely CANNOT go to the public school. He agreed. And then it was a he hates getting up early and the commute is terrible. Reminder, he moved 1 hour away to work and his job is in the town where I live. This is not my problem. Again, he made his decision and has to live with it. I make mine and will have to live with them. However, I was cordial, and said, "yes, kids are expensive." I am NOT volunteering to *fix* anything or make anything *easier* for him. I did that for 11 years and was told that made him feel "unsupported" and that I "doubted he would come through." Have at it big guy. I'm not doing any of that again:) Oh, and he sends me many texts with "R (girlfriend's name) says....." I don't give 2 figs what girl says so I don't respond. I have found that X Mr. GB does NOT like to hear me say someone is hot. His face tightens and he quickly changes the subject. I'm not saying it to get a reaction-I've always just mentioned things like that in passing.
Sorry to vent. Hoping I get some resolution on these house issues. Sending out positive energy!
