| All Bets are OFF - which way did you go??
|
|
|
I'm sure most of my family/friends here on thoughts would have expected FOTY to take GOLF over his kids .... and well for those of you silly enough to put money the other way ... guess what you were wrong.
He emails me to let me know that he's going away this week-end ... I'm assuming for Golf, but never assume anything with him. He's just as likely to be going away "with Her" than with a golf stick.
So that's fine, no real shock there, he's being typical, and again earning his FATHER OF THE YEAR (FOTY) title.
But then the next sentence gets me ...
"Also, do you or the kids use the laptop? I am finding myself needing to take work home, but I can't because of no computer. If you are not using it, would you mind if I collected it tonight?"
Hello!!!!
Which part of agreeing to be paid out financially for house and contents does he not get??
Does he think that he can just "borrow" or "take" items from here as he pleases??
Because we are SUCH good friends after he lies, cheats, abandons and neglects us??
Does he not realise that the payout he is getting is paying for everything he's decided to GIVE UP??
Plus I've paid him half of the settlement (thanks for family help) and it would buy him at least 20 laptops.
So go buy yourself one you FOTY!
Maybe her engagement ring cost more than the estimated $5000.???
He's cut his rent in half by moving in with her, where's all his money going?
I was so angry when I read that, I should have just replied NO YOU CAN"T HAVE IT .. instead I replied :-
"Yes the kids do use the laptop for games when they are at Mum & Dad's ... it is curently there."
This is a double edged sword for him - there is NO WAY he'll try to get it from my Mum & Dad's and if he did it would APPEAR that he is taking something (else) from his kids! He's very much about appearance and image.
Not surprisingly I didn't hear from him again.
Even when he came around for his 1.5 hours contact time with the kids.
Oh and another thing while I'm on the FOTY FILES ... we got a postcard from his Dad & his Dad's girlfriend the other day. They are travelling around Europe, currently in Croatia.
The postcard is address to Miss 8 & Master 5 ... no greeting to me, no mention to me ... this disappoints me - I live here too, I am his grandchildren's mother - I deserve more respect than that.
I thought we got along ok - however I guess my comment to FOTY in anger one day of
"His Dad must be so proud that he is following in his footsteps ..."
or
the fact I let him know people at work and socially are saying things like
"Like Father Like Son"
&
"The Apple never falls far from the Tree"
must have gotten to his Dad - who I always respected (not for his family values!)
Incidentally his Dad cheated on his mum 9 years ago - with a lady at work .. also younger (young enough to be his daughter ... only 1 year older than FOTY) ... so you know the Truth hurts I guess!
Apologies if I sound particularly bitter, but sometimes I just am!

Bitter? I think I wouldn't be as nice as you've been.
I would have told him the only way he was getting the laptop was if it fit up his ass, then he could carry it out that way.
I know that sounds really bad but I don't know how he has the nerve to ask you for anything! Even if the kids or nobody used it I would sell it and have some money for that GPS you want with some money to spare.

your allowed to be bitter honey
and i can't believe the F***ing cheek of him asking for the laptop!!!!!
my god honey, you must have the patience of a saint, i would have sent a rather angry email to him after that, so don't think yourself bitter as you could be far worse!
and hey, i'll bet his dad feels bad knowing that it may well be his own choices that made FOTY think that its ok to treat women that way!!!!
he doesn't deserve Caps any more, i will only type foty in a feeble way now, caps are far too grand for that pathetic waste of a time...
Hey i think Flo typed that one ha ha

This man can't stop showing us who he is. I agree with Miss Marie you must have the patience of a saint. I know many women who would have given him the lap top. I don't feel you are bitter ... you are better, my dear, and getting stronger every day. One amazing woman who I'm proud to call my friend. A woman who is teaching many of us, here on thoughts, the correct way to stand up for ourselves and not be taken advantage of. Peace.

This may sound wrong, but I hope FOTY gets to the point where he just stops coming around. I think that would be easier on the kids and certainly easier for you.
