Had the guts. Suddenly Single: At the baseball game last week the ex comes up and is asking me questions about my move, my job and blah blah. I don't want to chit chat with her - we are not friends nor do I think we can be because I can't trust her at all and that would be entirely weird!
I walked up to her today and told her that I didn't want to chit chat with her and I didn't want her talking about me to the kids or to anyone else and went to walk away....well she proceeds to call me a B****H and then has the audacity to talk to me about how I should know how to be courteous being a teacher and all.
I HAVE been sooo courteous to her - even when she ignores my general pleasantries or the times she has ignored me outright. But I'm the B***H?
Why did I walk up to her knowing how irrational she is??? Why did I set myself up for this because I am the one that feels like ****?
Re:Had the guts. in_search_of: Good for you! NICE!
She deserved anything you said to her, and you have been WAY more than nice up until now, she has no business asking the kids about you! She has no idea how to be a mother, and she needs to get a swift kick in the teeth!
Re:Had the guts. Suddenly Single: well part of me TOTALLY regrets it...I had to down a Zantac because I don't like confrontation but as much as I wish I didn't do it.... I think under the circumstances with her being a nutso - I had to show her that I will say something to her. After we "talked" she was walking away telling me how I should be nice and how I should act because I'm a teacher and all and I don't remember what I said...something about thanking her for pointing it out and I'll keep it in mind...I think. But she stood behind the bleachers talking on the cell phone for the rest of the game....MJ says I rattled her.
Re:Had the guts. in_search_of: Good for you, she needed to know that she could not torture and torment you, and that she can not push you around. She needs to know that she cannot run your relationship with MJ, and that she cannot run around all willy nilly making your life and his hell. You have given her every chance in the world to behave like a human, and she never does, so now she just needs to disappear.
I am proud of you, even if it was nerve wracking!
Re:Had the guts. Suddenly Single: Here is the email that I want to send:
Should I ? Why do I feel like crap? UGH!
Given the situation I would have hoped that you would have understood what I meant by "chit chat" - we are not friends nor do I think we will be. I didn't say that I didn't want to be courteous with you but I would rather you not ask me questions about myself or what is going on in my life as I respect you and do not do that. I have been courteous to you. You attack me by saying I should know how to act as a teacher and I will say the same thing to you, as a mother of three to call me a bitch at your children's baseball game was not in the interest of being courteous and the complete opposite of what you were saying to me. My timing might not have been the best and I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that maybe under different timing you may not have resorted to name calling.
