Just when I think he's turned over a new leaf....
I am in my final week of studying now and I am stressed to my absolute max. I just got an online bank of 1,200 questions to review and I'm trying to get through them with enough time to spare to solidify what I do not know.
Tomorrow I am studying from home, but DS does not have daycare so he'll be with me. I asked XH to come hang with him for a few hours so I could get some uninterrupted study time. His response "sure, but only if we can all go together to get a Christmas tree (me, P, and him)" I've already addressed this with him and reminded him that something like that would be a FAMILY outing, which we are not anymore. However, obviously he thinks that since I'm between a rock and a hard place I will give in to this.
Think again. My response was "forget it". Still I'm so frustrated that he wouldn't just want to come hang with DS and give me some uninterrupted study time in the process. The "new XH" is a lot like the old one.
Re: Just when I think he's turned over a new leaf....
Not to mention that it's November 10th? wtf?
Ummm.. THIS. Does he not know its a little early to go buy a xmas tree.. thing will be dead by thanksgiving.
Seems like he's all about the, "Sure I'll help you, but it'll cost you" mentality. Was he always like that?
Do you have family or friends who can help with DS while you study? Sucks that you can't rely on him when you need him without him holding something over your head like that.
Yes, I believe so. My aunt is in town so I will see if she can for a few hours. My grandparents are also available. The worst thing I could do would be to give in to some shiit like that. I just hate the manipulation game. He still thinks he'll pull one over after all this time.
Always, very tit for tat. The type that you were afraid to accept something from because there were always, always, always strings attached.
As far as the timeline for tree hunting, he's trying to secure a promise for a venture sometime in the near future. I guess he figures if he starts to work on me early eventually I will cave in, maybe in time to get a nice Silvertip.
He was always like that, no? I'm sorry you're stuck for study time but it's nice that you have family that can help out.
SD will never get it will he? That's the same sh*t my ex would pull...
I didn't even think of this. Dumbasss!
Once a DB, always a DB!
Word.
Me either, just thought about the fact he is willingly giving up time with his son becuase he's not getting his way. Pretty sure P's emotional maturity is more developed than SD's.
Oh good lord. It's just pathetic that the idiots still try to work angles and get what they want.
I refuse to even ask ex for help with DD. I know better. He may say yes, but eventually it'd come back and bite me in the a$$ in the form of something ridiculous like this.
