Hopefully I will get to talk to an attorney tomorrow (sorry-long & rambling)
about H's financial mess and what the impact will be on me, if I need to push or to pull.
I was supposed to call them on Tuesday, but H's pickup broke down, so I had to drive him to work-which put me behind 2 days. Oh well.
It was an interesting weekend on several levels. H was off, I, of course, was studying. So he played cards Friday. Told me SD17 was coming on Saturday, to which I simply told him; whatever. I'll be busy studying.
So Sat. comes around. H went to play cards again. I studied, again. 5:00, and H calls. Want to know if I want to go out for Chinese with SD17 and himself -SD17 wants Chinese. (it's 5:00 and I thought she was supposed to be here in the afternoon???). I told him no thanks. We had Chinese takeout Friday nite. Ummm, really don't want it again on Saturday.
Amazing! He actually told SD17 we would go out to eat, but it wouldn't be the Chinese she wanted! I could've fallen over! Then, I asked why she hadn't come earlier? His reply? He was too busy playing cards!
Now, tho this saya something not so great about H as a father-I mean, regardless of my feelings towards SD17, what father would put off seeing the daughter he hasn't seen in 3 weeks, for a card game? But a few months ago, it would've been a totally different story. I can't help but wonder whats up with that. Anyway, she shows up with her new bf in tow. He is FIFTEEN! He is a FRESHMAN! This girl will be 18 in 2 months. Graduates in 3 months. And is dating a 15 yr old? Whatever.
After supper, H and I played UNO with SD17 & the BF. It was ok-SD17 was on her best behaviour this time around-no sitting on "daddys" lap with the bf there. But H tried to get me to sit on his lap when they were here. I declined. Not even up for playing that little game anymore.
The following day, SD17 calls H, and gushed about what a great time she had (of course she did-H gave her the money to rent the Country Club for her graduation party), and how fun and funny Bewitched is!!! Thing is, I do have a great sense of humor-tho not two days before this all happened, H told me I have no sense of humor. Now, because SD17 deemed me so, I'm not only beautiful, intelligent, I'm also hillarious. How I love being judged by a 17 y.o.'s standards.
But to give H credit, remember the Mule Deer Foundation fundraiser that was my valentines evening? He made up for it. Since I had to drive him back to work on Tuesday, and the trip was an extra two hours as we had to go off route for him to pickup a truck for the field, he bought us tickets for the Celine Dion concert. It was awesome. If you get a chance to go, do it. You won't be disappointed! She is amazing.
So this all makes it hard to me-calling the attorney- feeling so conflicted. I know I need to talk to this attorney-H is a financial nitemare - which I told him he was on Friday. And he agreed that he is. But he seems to have no motivation to clear up his messes. And I can't let one good weekend stop me from dealing with the facts. For a change, H actually reminded me of the guy I thought I married-instead of the beast I found myself wedded to. And that makes talking to an attorney just that much harder.

BW I am so happy that you had a few nice days with H.
I just caution you..my ex was very similar to yourz..he was SO HAPPY with me for weeks on end then BAM one thing didnt go his way and I was stupid and crazy I was a liar and a slut and the worst wife ever.
I did that song and dance for 18 yrs.
it was horrible please think long and hard ..
hugs

a tough situation
indeed. I certainly do not want to tell you what you should do. Ill just share a similar situation. My last marriage was alot like yours (so it seems). My EX had a son that was his world. Everything was about him..I was always last . I provided a large amount of the income and not very little in return. Prior to our getting married he was a prince. We did alot of fun things together and he seemed to be interested in everything about me and my life. After we got married it was all about him and his son. When he would sense that i was pulling away (considering divorce) WE WAS AN ANGEL. SO i would put it off...and shortly there after he would go back to his old ways. THESE TYPES OF MEN DO NOT CHANGE AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING!. It took me 7 LONG years to finally leave him...cus i didnt figure this out (or maybe I was in denial) My life is so much better now. I not saying your situation is like mine...but I know I wasted alot of good years on that sap! Good luck to you.. Glad you had a good time at the concert!
I agree with Doglover1..
I think that he may sense that you are considering divorce, and he is trying to reel you back in. I admire you for sticking with your plan. Continue on and go see that attorney to find out what options are available to you. I'm wishing you lots of luck, and hopefully this will be an informative meeting for you! Let us know what happens!
Careful!
BW, it's so nice to hear that you enjoyed your weekend! But if I were you, I'd be super careful. Maybe H is doing this because he knows about you wanting to talk to an attorney? Maybe he's thinking, "Hey, I'll sweep her off her feet again, and then I can go back to being a dick." Don't fall for it. You've been there for this man and have done so much for him, and in return he has been nothing but a complete ass to you. Now it's time you take care of yourself. Getting yourself back into school was your first step... now talking to the lawyer is your second step. I know it must be difficult, but you need to keep reminding yourself how H was for the majority of your marriage rather than just one snippet of it.
Stay strong, girl!
Money for tickets and country club
but no money to pay off his financial mess? I think he may need to take a class or two himself-- on finances.
I was wondering
how you were doing. I really hope you stick with your plan & see this attorney. Your H may have relaspes of normalicy towards you, but there is something so not right with him. Why he won't pay his debts is insane. There is just something so not right.
Take care of yourself.
