So, I promised myself when I started this blog that I would keep negativity to a minimum and forego all ex-bashing, but ... I lied. This one's just too good NOT to share.
Even though Bobby and I are on speaking terms (though allbeit very infrequently), we communicate out of necessity most commonly via text message. Ahh, yes, gotta love the digital age. Anyway, a couple weeks ago he sent me a text concerning the topic of money. For the record, I do not receive alimony or anything of the sort from him but I do, however, want my fair share of things. I'm not stupid, just the same as I'm not greedy - it's just fairness. So, since I walked out with literally the clothes on my back and a few keepsakes, "we" agreed it fair if I receive half of the value of all of the furniture, belongings, etc. we purchased during the course of our 4.5 year marriage. Fair, right? I drew it up in the settlement and he complied.
So, he sent a text to tell me my monthly check was in the mail a bit early and post-dated for June 1st. Excellent. Thanks. Then, he proceeds to tell me how his finances are going, making it seem as though these monthly checks are really putting him out, financially. Riiiight. I know how much money he brings in so despite me reaching through the depths of my soul, I failed to find even an ounce of sympathy for him. Not to mention, if you knew what these monthly checks amounted to, you would NOT consider it a justifiable figure for 4.5 years I gave to him. For sake of conversation, I'll just chalk it up as gas money, basically.
At the end of the text "conversation", he proceeds to say something to the effect of "I miss your paycheck". Excuse me? Thanks buddy, I miss you too. I didn't know that in addition to my onion soup that day, apparently I had also ordered up a side of asshole.
If you found as much comedic relief as I did in this post, you are a saint!
Love,
Amanda xoxoxo
P.S. I look better now than I ever did when I was with him and I also bring in a better paycheck. Eat your heart out Bobby. *winks*
