Just for fun--70 cents
Just got a check from XH. It was a refund from the cable company for $0.70 in my name. I plan on cashing it, and then sending him the money taped to a piece of paper. What denomination should it be? Dimes, nickels, or pennies?

Re: Just for fun--70 cents
That won't be as fun as knowing he had to take the tape off each coin
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
It's a work in progress. When our Jewish divorce is final this weekend, it will be the last of the contact I need to have with him. I'm taking this $.0.70 and having fun with it in the meantime. Thanks for making me feel so good about myself.
I have to ditto this. Your XH is a supreme douchenozzle - not even worth the postage to send all the 70 cents back to him.
He will fight me for it with the lawyers. I have no choice, it's his money that I owe.
Ahhhh - I see. Didn't get that before. While sending it back in pennies (or whatever) is kind of funny, it's still engaging him. There's no need.
You're right, it is unnecessary drama. I'm not engaging him in conversation over it though and he has a right to the money. Considering he took months to cash the last check I had to send him, I'm sending this in cash so I don't have to give it to him in person.
Trust me, I'd be happy if he flipped enough to actually be able to get a restraining order against me. Right now, he's smart enough to slide under the radar of the laws that can protect me from him.
But yes, after him telling me he wanted to spit on my grave, this gesture (ridiculous as it is) makes me feel a bit better. I'll deal with it in therapy, but today, it's making me happy.
And there is nothing wrong with that!! Its therapeutic to be spiteful sometimes! OMG he said he'd spit on your grave??? Your XH sounds like a gem!
Thanks, I know it's stupid and immature, but he's been such an effing assshole this week that I need this to feel better. Yes, he said that right before he told me he wished I got into an accident on the way home from work and would be in a coma for the rest of my life.
I changed my locks yesterday.
MCC-ITA with previous posters, I wouldn't engage, just give him a check for 0.70 and call it good. Your X isn't stable and I wouldn't do anything to provoke him. I get that it would be funny but I don't think it'd be worth it.
Not even 2 quarters and 2 dimes?
Darn it A, why do I always listen to your voice of reason?! Killjoy!
I know, I know. But you'd be "poking the bear" and who know's what he is capable of? He's already made threats towards you, no?
But his fur is so much fun to poke! The worst part is that I need him to act on those threats so I can get the law on my side and he will stay away from me. He knows he hasn't done anything actionable yet and that's what gives him the power. I feel terrorized right now.
Ok, I'll send a check. You're my SO "Mom"
I just laughed out loud at this!! So funny.... But I think a check is the way to go. You might need to proof you gave it to him.
you're in therapy, right?
Yes, tried to get an emergency session in this week but couldn't. His behavior and having to get a religious divorce this week are really messing with me. I'll see my counselor on Wednesday.
