Divorce because I betrayed her trust - PART 7

[DaB35]

Week off - time for a little update before I need to start a new thread.

House sale still going on. Lots of things outstanding apparently; the conveyancers the estate agents assigned us are very slow. Was a bit rich then to receive an email from the estate agents advising me that there are still "queries with the buyers solicitors"! I put them straight saying that the conveyancers are very slow to respond and when I do get info it is very limited which means I have to go back to them again.

Boiler was meant to be serviced today. Originally paid for it in September. Company postponed it to November, then suddenly postponed it to today (!). I definitely texted W about it in Nov/Dec time. Unfortunately, now I don't have a smartphone, my phone only stores a few texts and so I can't prove when I sent it. I sent W a text yesterday to remind her.
She replied "Right, I'm out. Can you come up and let them in?"

I thought - 'nope'! No way am I making a two hour round trip to come to the house (during rush hour) to let in an engineer who may not turn up til midday. I can't get time off work that quickly. I just replied:
"No it's too short notice to get time off work. Are you at the house any other set times during the week? I will ask them to reschedule."
Then she responded - "Well I need way more advance notice. I can't stop things at the drop of a hat. I literally don't go to the house anymore. I work in <town> now. Also I don't see why we need the boiler serviced anyway. The house is nearly sold so it makes no difference."

I really didn't want to argue by saying 'well I did text you about it.' I couldn't be bothered to get annoyed by that. So I took a deep breath, and replied:
"We paid for it in September as that's when it was due. They just kept postponing it. Not an issue. I'll ask them to rebook it. I understand that you're busy and finding free time is difficult. Have a good evening."

I know I probably shouldn't have put that last bit. However, I felt I should come across as polite and just upbeat really. Not argumentative.

As an aside, I was able to go online and rebook it to mid-March, by which time the house won't be ours anyway, so no problem. Took literally 30 seconds. Should I text W to simply say "Rebooked it for mid-March so all sorted." ??


Other news - great gym progress.
Feeling very confident.
Lots of people are telling me (and my family) how well I look.
A couple more people have said "her loss!" to me. Have a good PMA and it seems to be sustained rather than intermittent.
