Some things never change

Some things never change, and if I honestly believed they would, then I was just kidding myself.

I was offered the opportunity to work late tonight and pick up some overtime. Time and a half is good money and I could use the extra money, always. But it’s my night to have the kids. Ian’s dad had no problem with Ian staying with him tonight. I will have Ian this weekend, so I’ll get to see him.

The girls’ dad was a different story. When I asked him last night ….
Could you keep the girls tomorrow night too?’

Why?

Well, if you must know, I’ve been asked to work late and I could use the overtime.

So, you want me to keep them tonight, tomorrow night, and all weekend too?

Well, I had planned on seeing them Friday at the chili supper, if that’s ok. Besides, you’ve asked me to keep them both weekends of deer season, and you can’t even hunt.

Look, if you want to go out, just tell me, you don’t have to make up excuses.

OK, so not only are you giving me grief and refusing to help me out, you’re calling me a liar too? It’s so nice to know some things NEVER change. You still accuse me of things I’m not doing, and frankly I don’t owe you an explanation. You know what? Just forget it. I’ll take the girls tomorrow night, I’ll miss out on the OT and the extra money. Just don’t expect any favors from me any more.


The divorce has been final 15 months. He’s moved on, he’s got a girlfriend, and still he’s accusing me lying to him! The suspicions never stop, and the accusations. I’m not even mad he won’t take the girls tonight, (even though it is rather annoying that I’m missing out on the OT and the extra money) I’m more pissed off that that he had to accuse me of lying and wanting to go out tonight instead of working. Even now the accusations never stop.

Yes, I should just let it all go, I shouldn’t let him bother me, but damn it he accused me of lying to him! Some thing never change. It just goes to reinforce my decision to walk away and be completely done with him. Unbelievable.
