Closure

We actually worked out the property exchange issue last night and we are going to do the exchange in the next couple of weeks, when both his dad and the kids can be there. I told him I have no interest in keeping his stuff it is all out in the garage, he could probably take some of it in his car.

We actually had a real conversation and lucky for me his sane personality was present. We discussed summer vacation schedule and bs's birthday ( he will not be at the party). He actual apologized to me and told me that he hopes that someday I find someone who will treat me well because he didn't and I deserve a lot better than what he gave me.

Now trust me I don't trust him one bit that he can stay this guy. I WILL NOT LET MY GUARD DOWN. This was the guy I married and loved. I told him based on past experience that he can turn on a dime and go the other way. I told him that he needs to be a good dad that he has wonderful children and he needs to set a good example. I told him that BS asked if we were getting a divorce because he was mean to me and that he had asked me why couldn't I just ignore daddy when he yelled at me so he could live with us. I told him when he is with them he needs to be present and not checked out. He said he is still in therapy and working on his issues and is feeling pretty good... and I hope he is.

I am done, moving on, know that captain douchbag will show up again, but for now I accept his apology and am moving on to a great life.

Good for you for sticking to your guns. I think this is a ploy. His controlling and abusive tactics didn't work to reel you back in so now he wants to go the charming, charismatic guy who just is concerned with your feelings.

Like you said, he can turn on a dime.

Good thing that the property transfer is scheduled for a later date.

Like I said, I am not letting the guard down, but I got some things resolved emotionally for me. I am not sure why I needed that apology but I did.

I do know him pretty well and when he is that guy I know he means what he is saying, when the switch flips he is another person. I will be talking about this in therapy tomorrow. I think some of it is just relief to have interacted and have it done, it was like ripping off the bandaid. Trust me when he does come get his stuff I have it all ready to go.

Heres a funny while I was at it I cleaned the garage pretty well. Both of my husbands have never kept a clean organized garage. The only time I have ever had a clean garage is after I got rid of them. I am gearing up to have a garage sale in August.

Yeah like what's up with THAT? I like a guy to have a "Hank Hill-esque" garage like on King of the Hill.

Chef Boyardumb is a "never put anything back in it's proper place" guy then he has to do a total massive clean up at the end of the week, often throwing out perfectly good stuff or re-buying stuff he already has. GRRRR!!

I want one of those guys that has a flat screen in the garage. I love when you drive by and see some guy with the imaculate garage and he like hangs out in it watching TV. I live across from a guy like that. He also mowed every 4 days and washed his windows on the outside.

Heck yah! I am actually going to do some this weekend. Do you want to stay at my house one of the night? I have a spare room with a twin bed.

BS and I are looking forward to getting our little house on Smile
