.....and ever and ever and ever

And D10 had her dad on speakerphone yesterday and he says "did you hear about superbowl sunday?" I said "yes, your sister invited us and I said yes, I am going" he makes a point to say "I was the one who invited you, I told my sister to. I think we are all going to have fun!" He totally wants to hang out with me because I am much cooler than his wife. HAHAHAHA.

Funny! You know sometimes you post things about your XH that remind me so very closely of mine. We officially separated in early Oct. of 2014. Toward the end of that month, or first of Nov (don't really remember which now), his sister invited me to her house for Thanksgiving because when we'd been married, we had always done Thanksgiving day with his family at his sister's house then Thanksgiving with my family on the weekend, because that is what worked best for both sides of the family. Anyway, SHE called and invited me, assured me I was most welcome, they all wanted me there, etc., so I told her I greatly appreciated the invite and that I would seriously think about it (I didn't want to just say yes out of obligation because I still loved his family, but I really needed to think about how my interaction with him would go and if it would make it awkward for everyone else). I ultimately told her I'd come. Anyway, now that I have rambled and made your post a really long story about me, he got mad at me shortly after Thanksgiving when I showed up at his sister's house, after being invited, but I did NOT invite him to go to my family's gathering with me. He came to my house and read me the riot act about my trying to turn my family against him and made this big fat deal about how it was MY obligation to make sure he still had a relationship with my family because the only reason I got to go to his sister's was because HE had talked her into inviting me and he wanted me there. What the h3ll ever, you arrogant ba$tard! His sister invited me because she still cared about me and quite honestly was mad at him for the way he ended things. She and I are STILL friends and she's STILL mad at him and blames him for how things ended between me and him.

Sorry for stealing your post, but I really said all that to say that I have been in a very similar situation and I kind of had the same thought at the time....that he preferred to be around me than his tart even though he left me for her. And, obviously he STILL does, because while he never talks to me or reaches out to me, he's constantly asking the girls about me and commenting on stuff that I post on facebook. Get over yourself, dude.....you left and I moved on!
