How a treehouse can cost you your marriage

[Clyde]

W called today to see if I was home so that she could pick up the support payment, I said yes and asked her to pay for her auto insurance (we still share a policy, I've been tempted to tell her she has x amount of time to get her own policy) she said she did not have the money right now - maybe next week. I reminded her that next week will be when the next months ins. payment will be due, she said I know nothing I can do I don't have the money. I reminded her that on top of floating the family household I now have to pay support, and have cut my hours dramatically so that I can be w/ the kids on my days... so I do not have the $ either.

She said if she gave me the $ right now she would have to borrow the $ from someone, then there was silence - after a moment I said fine, you can pay me next week. We said by and hung up.

I sat there and thought about it for a minute, and decided that no I am not ok with it, she choose to be in this sitch - not me! So I called her back and told her that she needed to pay it... she again said I'm gonna have to borrow it from somebody, (I wanted to say "why don't you borrow it from one of your friends that encouraged you to walk out!) but did not.

Instead I told her sorry, but you are the one that wants things this way, not me... and now that things are this way, aren't you borrowing the $ from me? I'm not in the position to do so and even if I was I don't know that I am ok w/ it anymore, and as a matter of fact I think it is time she got her own policy.

She said fine, she'll bring the money with her, and look in into getting her own policy next month.

I feel she needs to feel the full extent of what she is creating, me paying or even fronting the ins. $ is only making it easier for her, I can no longer be her nice guy any more, look at what it has gotten me thus far.

I did call her a few hours later and asked if she was good on groceries, she said yes, she went shopping a few days ago.

Any thoughts/comments?
