In the jungle, the lion sleeps tonight...
Be forewarned, this is a rambling post because it's been really quiet lately.
The Ex was almost half an hour late dropping off the kids last Friday; Husband texted her about it so there's documentation. I thought about being half an hour late to take the kids back on Monday, but we have a stipulation we want her to sign so we're kind of letting things slide. If it happens again, then they're definitely getting taken back late.
That aside, The Ex hasn't said much of anything. The kids said something about her "friend" bringing his jet ski to Tiny City. I honestly almost asked, "You guys do know that [New Guy] is married, right?" just to see the look on their faces because a)they've never told us New Guy's name and b)I'm sure that while The Ex is acting lovey-dovey with this dude, her teen children have no idea that he's married to another woman.
A friend of mine says she wishes she could just understand what exactly is The Ex's game plan. As in, what does The Ex expect to happen from this point? My theory is that The Ex thinks New Guy is going to leave his wife and move two hours away from his kids to be with her, at which point she will then file for divorce from Boyfriend.
Oh, yeah; I forgot to update about that. It's been over two months since The Ex filed a restraining order, cleaned out their trailer and stole his kids - but still no divorce filed. Which leads me to believe that she hasn't entirely ruled out the possibility of rekindling her relationship with Boyfriend.
Personally, I think she's waiting to see what New Guy does and if/when he doesn't leave his wife, I think she's going back to Boyfriend. She cannot stand to be alone, and she definitely can't let Husband see her be alone.
When Husband took the kids back on Monday, there was yet another guy in her car. The kids wondered out loud who it was, and then one of them said, "Oh, that's someone [The Ex] works with." So either a)The Ex and co-worker both work close to the exchange place and they were hanging out waiting for Husband to show up, or b)in addition to having an affair and still being legally married herself, The Ex is now getting involved with a co-worker and he came along with her to pick up Son and Daughter.
I'm waiting for copies of all the police reports for the 3-4 times that Boyfriend got arrested for violating the restraining order. I seriously love reports, you guys. I can't even tell you how many things I'm able to quote from them that just cause us to bust out laughing. "I have attempted to leave during allocations..."
All that aside, we sit and wait for the next blowup. Not because we want there to be one, but because there always will be one. It doesn't matter how nice/mean we are, how accommodating/difficult we are, how open/closed off we are - The Ex will find something to complain about. Even if we do exactly what she wants, when she wants, how she wants, she will find a way that it was done wrong. So it's only a matter of time before we get yelled at again for who even knows what this time.
