It's All My Husband's Fault

  Yesterday, Husband sent a message to The Ex with an updated balance of what she owed him and asked her to please try to get caught up on the kids' medical bills.  She replied with, "Boo hoo, I'm not working, I had surgery, what are these bills for?"  Husband replied and explained how he reached said balance.   This morning: "You agreed to waive ALL past debts. ( Actually no, he didn't. ) Please review our agreement. ( Don't need to; I know what it says.  Perhaps you should review it. ) I'm sorry. ( Forrrr...?  I know you're not actually sorry for anything, but I still want to ask. ) Plus, I'm not paying any variable expenses per court order we agreed upon. ( 1. You are correct, you are not paying variable expenses.  2. Stop trying to sound smart because even if you disagreed but it was court ordered, you'd still have to do it. ) That order was agreed and signed by both of us in July of this year." ( Once again, The Ex is clai...

  Husband had sent a message to The Ex at the end of September; part of the message was to give her an update as to what she owes him for medical bills for both Son and Daughter.  The Ex read the message, replied to it but didn't say anything about the balance.   Husband sent another message Monday morning with another receipt for medical bills and gave her another updated balance.  Husband asked The Ex to please try to make a payment in the near future, because the court order was that the bills would be repaid in 30 days but the oldest bill was now 2 years old.  Husband stated he had applied a $1 payment from her in September and that the last payment he had gotten before that was in March.   Eight minutes later: ( This is astoundingly quick for someone who doesn't "have a proper phone" which makes it "very difficult to her respond to Husband's messages." ) "I haven't worked in a month.  ( Of course she hasn't.  She had a secure,...

  The Ex asked if her parents could bring Daughter home last Wednesday and asked if she could pick up Son directly from school on Thursday.  Initially we were going to tell her no for a couple of different reasons.  The first reason was because she took over a month to decide what she was going to do for Daughter's tournament and still never really gave a committed answer.  The second was because she was asking on Sunday and expecting an immediate answer.  The third was because she's a dickhead and we're tired of doing her favors only to have her badmouth us to the kids and complaining about us "never working with her" whenever we do tell her no to something she wants.   After thinking about it, we decided that we are better people than her and telling her "no" would really only make it harder on the kids.  As a refresher, this is what The Ex asked: "Next week Thursday, October 29th, I pickup [Son]. I was wondering if someone could pick him u...
