The argument started a day early! I was expecting the yelling on Sunday, o, I don't know, over bread or chicken maybe??? Nope. It started with checking the joint account for the balance. Somehow, it moved to him telling me I had to pay for ½ of the electrical, cable, phone, etc bills next month.
Of course, he did not understand the concept of my advanced deposits, and demanded that I pay. I asked why should I, since we have enough money in the account to cover for October’s bills (hence the "advanced" deposits, which I started when I first opened the account…).
As usual, he started with the mother bleeper this, mother bleeper that, and I went for the first xanax. By the time I had reached for the second pill, he had already said he wasn’t going to continue to have my cell phone under his plan (he gets a discount from his union), and guess what, he is not going to pay me the $9500 he owes me (of which, he was already planning to subtract $1000 for my car’s repair, $600-$800 for the gas he's put in it for this year, etc…). Mentioned also, that he was going to "charge" me for the gas he’s put in the car in the last 7 years. O dear…what a silly man I married…
It moved to him saying that the extra $4,000 he had "offered" me, was for everything in the house, and that I wasn't supposed to take anything with me. Uhhhh, really??? It was actually for ME to buy furniture, to replace the one I wasn't taking…
I brought out the agreement that was entered into the divorce decree, which specified I could take ANYTHING I wanted with me, excluding appliances, living room, dining room, bedroom sets (minus the tempur pedic in the master bedroom). He, then, proceeded to tell me he was going to get a marshal to my new place, get all of the items he claims are his, and have me arrested. Seriously?! I did marry him while I was conscious?
The xanax didn’t seem to suffice. I think nothing would help when dealing with him. I no longer know whether to cry out of frustration for the stupid mistake I made of marrying him (and staying with him!) in the first place, or laugh at the ridiculousness of the whole thing. Ok, today, I pick the latter.
