Been a while since we broached this topic, but I got a kick out of this one, so I'll share:
My ex-wife arrived at Montgomery Regional Airport yesterday evening at 6:48pm. We have been divorced since July 25, 2005. (Thank God.) She had not seen her daughter in 2 years, 7 months, and 20 days. 963 days or so. Our daughter is five now - they hadn't shared a hug since she was two.
Anyway, it did not take THREE hours for the drama-meter to top out, as it tends to do when she is involved. She, out of the blue, changed her cell phone number yesterday afternoon before she left for the airport. When she called me from Atlanta on this strange number, I immediately knew something was up. When I got home from taking little one to the airport last night, the message in my myspace inbox confirmed it. It was from a fellow named "Jason." I do not associate with any Jasons, and have not since I was in the 3rd grade. The subject line simply said "read." I knew what it was before I opened it. Allow me to share:
"Tell Jessica my Fiance that I Love her and miss her. Don't Let her Lie to u that she is not in a relationship we have been togather since December 22 2006.
.. I know how she lies alot and she lied to me about this but I thought u should know about me!! "
Unhappy with his insistence of dragging me into this, I replied:
"Dude, don't ya think you oughtta be the one telling her this?
Oh, and I guess it's too late now, but I coulda warned you about her and her lying ways. By the date you list here, you must not be the guy she left her husband and daughter for. That's good, cause he was ugly."
However, before I finished sending that one, he sent me another one, entitled "hellllo." And that's all it said. "Hello." Without the extra L's as in the subject line. At this point, I'm getting irritated.
So I replied to that one:
"I can't decide whether to block you or leave this line of communication open. I mean, on one hand, I could have more mature interaction with my 5 year old daughter. On the other, it's always fun knowing more than everyone else.
I think I'll sleep on it. I gotta be into work early tomorrow anyway.
Oh, and one last thing... I ain't doin anything with her, if that's what you're worried about. She's overdue to see her daughter. LOOOOOOOOONG overdue. Don't worry about me - I'm a non-factor, dude. But yeah... tread softly with her. She's a complete wreck."
And before I sent THAT one, he sent me one more, a response to my first reply:
"Yeah well she Lies and Lies and Lies again no we were going to get married on Oct 11 this year but that has now changed but I'm sure u knew nothing about that* but yeaall the s*** she has said about u I really don't believe now i know why u got rid of her when u did.
It's funny though she kissed my five minuites before she was going and told me that she oved me but I guess that's all a Lie since it's seems thats all she wants to do is to make her self look good and hurt others in the process "
* I DID know about that thanks to my ex-sister-in-law who keeps me in the loop on these things.
And I'm thinking to myself, "No kidding." This is somehow hilarious, sad, and infuriating all at the same time. JUST LIKE OLD TIMES!! Admittedly, I am curious about "the s*** she has said about me." Not that it really matters though. I kinda feel sorry for the poor guy, but I also get some strange vindication by this. Does this make me a bad person?
