Hes such a scmuck!! flipflopnomore: I could hardly wait to get up this morning and tell you all what happened last night.
10:30, I was watching CSI. Waiting for my daughter to get home from volleyball practice. I get a text from him....."has the tax check come? Ps..nevermind"
Nevermind? I just ignore, but am intrigued. A few minutes later I get "I know I shouldn't say it, but I miss you and the kids. I am sorry for everything and I love you."
I break down and respond "We miss you too J."
Then it goes back and forth and he wants me to come over. I say that I can't. That I am devastated by all of this and in pain. I cannot just hang out like his buddy. I know I shouldn't have even gone there, but I weakened.
A few mintues later..."Ok, I have a big favor. I am broke. When the tax check comes can I get a bit extra and pay off this credit card I have. Please I am really struggling. I will pay you back."
OHHH, so this is why he tells me he misses me. Jackass. He wants money. I simply text back. "No, I have debts too." Then..."so your not going to help me?" I say, "NO, you divorced me remember? Why would I do that?"
I didn't get a response for awhile, then...OK.
What a jerk. OMG. These are things I need to slap me in the face when I feel down. I need to remember what a jerk he is.
I hope I handled it ok. I know I shouldn't have even responded in the first place.
Re: Hes such a scmuck!! darkrose: I think you handled it well. There is a certain level of business that has to be taken care of so you do have to communicate a little bit. Just make sure you keep it business-like and you'll be OK.
Re: Hes such a scmuck!! soreheart: I'd have responded to it as well....
I try now to avoid responding to texts for at least an hour. That way I am not going for the instant-response-omg-now-i-regret-it scenario.
You did well. He really is a schmuck!
Re: Hes such a scmuck!! yella: I think you handled it well. But, I think you should ignore the next text you get from him. If it's important (about the kids), he should call you, not text you.
Re: Hes such a scmuck!! td7629: What a total jerk!! Don't beat yourself up..I agree I think you handled the situation well. I wouldn't let him go off course again and talk about anything other than your children.
