With more dramatic events daily and I'm the only one who seems to be surprised.
So, breast biopsy last week
Over the weekend STBX asks me for $20k on top of the settlement
STBX gets very ugly, very quickly. I move out to a hotel with DD yesterday.
Last night, by the way, DD who is six sleeps through the night without coming into my bed and wakes up late for the first time in weeks.
The hearing is tomorrow, Wednesday.
So today I get a call from a good friend. She sounds very upset. She tells me that she has been in agony about calling me... She says she feels duty bound to tell me something in case I am wavering about the divorce.
She tells me that STBX made a pass at her five years ago when I was away on a work trip. She rebuffed him.
I was OK. I thanked her for telling me, told her I loved her, told her she had done the right thing. Told her it was 100% on him. I believed every word she told me. She is married, honorable, the type of person who walks the walk.
I confronted STBX after he took DD for lunch (she was in the car).
He was very quiet for a while. Then he denied it utterly and said,
"Now I know who my friends are."
I know he will never tell the truth. He lies, lies, lies. It is in his blood.
She protected him for years, gave him the benefit of the doubt, was afraid of losing my friendship. She is not a worldly person, I completely understand her actions.
She said she had felt tormented but I deserved to know.
I'm OK. It is horrible to say this but I'm at the point where nothing about this man surprises me. I just want to be single.
