I've had a positively hellish week at work. The main thing I've been looking forward to all week is hanging out with SO tonight, just being quiet and loving and cuddly and recharging.
Today he received notice that his XW is attempting to garnish his wages for child support. This is extremely unfair of her; SO spent 18 months providing sole support for D15. And since she moved here, they've been sharing custody and he's been paying for far more than half of her support.
So now SO is extremely pissed and asked to have some down time before I come over. I've really been struggling with this, mostly because I'm exhausted and in some sore need of some care-taking. I know it's very selfish of me. He said he needed some down time so he could be good company.
I'm just so darned disappointed. We're not going to have that much time to just hang out during the weekend as it is. I have to work tomorrow morning, and he has a gig tomorrow night. His D15 returns home on Sunday.
As he was telling me this stuff, I was thinking, "So, okay, how would you be dealing with this if we were married, SO? You couldn't call me and tell me not to come home, and I wouldn't be wild about you going out without me on a Friday night."
I know this shows some growth on his part, and I do respect that. I'm just disappointed.
