Well, I *was* Being Civil froggee: Ok, so "being the big person" and trying to stay on friendly terms is pointless. My husband, being the oh-so_nice a-hole he's become, is trying to bleed money from me for things I bought BEFORE we split up. We had about $1600 in the bank, and all I took was $200 in cash. He's the one who lied and cheated and now he, for some unexplainable reason, thinks he's entitled to almost $800 extra?!? I mean he's even wanting me to pay him back for the $200 cash I took. It's a freakin community property state for crap's sake. What a hateful and pathetic little man. I tried to be nice and leave him plenty of money for bills and now he tries this crap? UGH!
Lesson #1: NEVER have a joint checking account again.
Re: Well, I *was* Being Civil btodd: concider yourself lucky. My stupid sob ex put all my personal items in storage didn't pay the bill and i had to bid on them to get them back. I left him everything (almost) and he still pulled sh*t.
lesson #2 Nice only gets you so far
Re: Well, I *was* Being Civil Chey: Froggee that's a lesson I learnt the hard way too.
Kind of glad to see you're getting pissed off though ;)
Re: Well, I *was* Being Civil froggee: The only thing I'm freaking out about is my cats. I decided to move home with my folks for a few months, but I had to leave the cats behind (parents are allergic). Now that we're starting to fight, I live in fear that he'll take my cats to the pound and never tell me. Man it's hard to go from believing someone can do no wrong to treating them as an enemy.
Chey: frankly I'm a little glad I'm getting pissed, too. He's certainly making it easy to get angry. My family and friends are about ready to beat the crap out of him. I'd never let them, but it's sure nice to know that my friends care about me that much.

Grief I can totally relate to this. Because I "ran home", I left my cats with him, because I couldn't take them. He promised me he'd take care of them, they were literally my babies. He got so drunk one night they were still roaming the neighbourhood until Midnight, which is why Charlie got run over. He was pitch black and never stood a chance. It was the first and only time I cried like that. Took me 3 days to recover.
Then I learnt just a few months ago, he put my other cat in a shelter, and she was adopted out the same week. I never even had a chance to go get her.
So...I can relate.
