It just might be over

This weekend was not a good one for my relationship with Angie. She made a comment the other day about cutting her short in my weekly allowance to her. I told her that I did not cut her short, Andy’s debt was paid off and I did not need to send that 100.00 anymore. Her comment was that she counted on that money and is why she was short.
I made the statement that she should never have been counting on money that was never hers. I had specifically asked her if he was getting the money for Andy’s debt and she said yes every time. It turns out that she can’t give the money to Andy to give to him because Andy won’t have anything to do with him. She tried to give it to him for Andy and he said ‘keep it in case you need anything’. She did not tell me this any of the times I asked if he was getting paid. I stopped asking her when she got pissed at me for asking all the time. When I stopped asking I told myself to let it go and trust her.
Should I have trusted her? No, it turns out she never gave him a dime of Andy’s debt money. I asked if he told her to keep it all 24 times I sent a 100.00 payment and she did not answer that. She thinks the spreadsheet I sent proves that I paid Andy’s debt. I say no darlin, that only proves that I made payments, not that he received any of them. Actually the only proof I have is the PayPal statements showing I sent the money. There still is no proof of payment to him. This was one of the requirements that he made in order for her to get her divorce.
Friday I made the statement that she lied and stole from me. Lied about making payments and spent money what was not hers to spend. I said I feel like walking away right now but I at least want an explanation.
That is when she told me about Andy and that he wanted nothing to do with him and that he said to keep the money. I may have been a little too harsh in my comments but in the end she said I don’t have to walk away, she was walking away and to never contact her again.
She did call, we talked a bit and then she hung up. Don’t really know what she is going to do. I asked her how she is going to pay rent and TV and she said she doesn’t care if she looses everything now because of how I treated her. Well honey, I have done nothing but take care of you for the better part of this entire year. I guess only time will tell what happens. I have been praying for the Lord to help to remove this financial burden she has placed on me by asking me to help her. Well my prayers were answered but I feel very bad about they way it went down.
I want her in my life but unless we are married I don’t feel the obligation to make sure she if financially sound. Sorry if that sounds hard but it is they way I feel right now.

I’ll keep you informed on what is happening. This week will be very telling when I don’t send a payment to her Thursday. I’m betting I’ll get a text asking where her money is.

What do I do, how to I let her down?

Well she called, but called at 10:00 and I was already asleep. She said okay, I’ll talk to you tomorrow night. She sounded like she was in a pretty good mood.

I waited for her to call yesterday, did not ride my Peloton thinking she would call while I was riding … again. Waited until after 7:15 pm, past my bed time and finally went to bed. She called at 8:30 because she was waiting for me to call her. To make a long story short she wants 400.00 to get the trailer they purchased together entirely in her name and then she want 3700.00 to pay the lawyer for her divorce. 3700.00 up front and then payments for anything above that. Well, what the heck to you think I’m going to say to that. “I could not give you 200.00 last weekend what the hell makes you think I can give you 4100.00 right now?” If she hadn’t taken me for about 6000.00 over the last 5 months I might have thought about it but as it is now I do not have that kind of money. I will have to save for it which means she can’t ask for anything until I have it and Christmas will be a no go this year.

Since he is fighting this Divorce I think my roll in paying Andy’s debt to him should be over, what to you all think?

I’m going to be letting her down in her eyes but that is the way it has to be. Please let her forgive me.

Talk to me tonight

Angie sent me a message about talking to me tonight. I wonder about what, we will see. It is why I have not posted today because I am curious about what she wants or does not want anymore. I guess I’ll tell you tomorrow. It’s also why I took today off.

The Holiday weekend started off good but…

The long holiday weekend started off great. I had two great workout sessions on my Peloton Friday, a 30 minute and 45 minute both with Hanna. I decided to order some Red Robin on Saturday and settled in for a great 4 days. I slept late every day, at lease till 7:00am and by Sunday was in the groove to start some coding and getting caught up in some classes and then…..

Angie called and her dad passed away Sunday morning July 2, 2017. I could tell she could not talk and just wanted me to know so I wasn’t shocked by seeing anything on Facebook. He had a massive heart attack in the morning, I don’t know anything more than that. I felt very bad for her, I know she was very close to her dad and that he would do anything for her. He bailed her out of messes multiple times and because of this I’m sure she is quite scared as well. To make things worse she sends me a message telling me she can’t talk but can she have 1800.00 or 900.00 to bury her dad. Now I’m not sure which she wanted because she asked for both but I found it odd she would ask me for that kind of money for that and not talk to me about it made it even worse. All I could think about was if he was with her and that is why she could not talk and at the same time he was there she is asking me for money. She has three brothers and her dad was retired from The Boeing Co. which means he has life insurance to cover things like this. The fact he may have been there while she is asking me just made it worse. I feel very bad for her but I’m afraid this may affect our/my plans for us.

I spent Monday and Tuesday coding in CSharp trying to recreate a tic tac toe game from a book I am reading. I have already done this from a Udemy class and this book is taking a different approach and I am taking a completely different one using CSharp.

I found out Saturday I was correct, she was with him while she was texting me for money and I’m not really sure how I feel about that. With that in mind a was a bit mean to her, calling her a user, using me for the last 20+ years. The fact that her fathers passing has affected me more than she knows is no excuse for the what I said, in a way she has used me but I have also let her as she knows I will try and do or give her whatever she asks for. I hope she forgives me for what that statement.

My heart goes out to you

I received a phone call from Angie yesterday morning (Sunday July 2nd). She wanted to let me know that her dad died earlier that morning and not to expect to talk to her.  I know how close she was to her dad and how she depended on him when she needed anything. I pray that she keeps it together and weathers this storm. I’m sure she will be ok, it still hurts to know she is hurting.

Monday Ramblings

I sent Angie 400.00 last Saturday for Fathers day, cable/internet, gas money and any other things she might need/want like smokes. What did she do? She spent the whole wad on baby stuff. I told her what the money was for and she wined about me not tell her that and she is the only one that gives a shit about the baby etc.. Wednesday she sends me a copy of her internet/cable bill which is fine but due that day. I asked her when did that come and her response was I don’t know, I just checked my mail because you said something about it. I used to be like that about my bills quite a few years ago and have now build a pretty good credit rating now. I told her just because you have money does not mean you have to spend it (that pissed her off).

Angie sent me a picture of her new grand daughter, what a cutie but then went on the say she could not be there when she was born because I was bitching about her spending money and she didn’t have the gas money to get there. I get where she is coming from because I did bitch about the spending a little but also apologized for not being to fair to her because of her situation and I’ll quit bitching, let her finish up the six months and go from there but I’ll still get blamed for her not being at the baby’s birth for the rest of our lives together.

I’m going through one of Udemy’s classes on Intermediate CSharp with Mosh to brush up on some things that have turned a little rusty. Having discovered this when finishing up the Python course and trying to convert the last two lessons into CSharp. I plain forgot how to do some things.

I have two classes purchased, one is a massive VBA course and the other a massive Python course. I think with these languages under my belt (CSharp, VBA and Python) I will have a very well rounded coding vocabulary.

I was wrong about liking when Angie is quiet

The last statement I made last week about Angie is the fact she has been quiet and that means she doesn’t cost me as much money. Well the fact of the matter is I don’t like it when she doesn’t talk. She said she is really busy but so am I and I still find the time to at least say good morning.

What did piss me off this weekend was the fact I still have to wait six freaking months even though she said if I helped with the rent it would not be six months. I guess that was 1) a lie or 2) she misspoke. One thing I do know is I did not misunderstand. I’ll give her her six months, remain quiet, save my money but after that the divorce must happen or the rent will stop.

I am taking Mosh’s intermediate C# class again and enjoy it as much this time as I did the last time.

The first month

Angie has been in her apartment for a month as of Thursday of this week and I am finding her attitude much nicer to deal with. If I can’t send her money right when she wants it she does not cop an attitude, she just says ok and works with it. No yelling or anything. Even when Andy wanted another 500.00 last week, I said no and was met with a nice and calm response. At the same time I am making sure I can put aside extra money for savings each week that she will have no idea about. This little stash will help me work through things as Christmas, birthdays and just keeping a little cash on the side for emergencies which she does not believe in doing. She will thank me in the end when we can pay for presents that she could never do before.

Very nice weekend

We have auditors coming into work starting Monday morning which will make this week a bit hectic but I have had to deal with them before and can do it again. Looking forward to a great week!

Getting comfortable

Angie is starting to get comfortable, asking for money when she needs it, not talking much unless she actually needs something, things that used to piss the heck out of me. Now I’m just happy she seems to be back. Last week she asked for money for Mothers day, I sent her what I could and asked her to ‘not over spend’. The last time I did this was for Easter and boy was that a mess when she was short and I did not react instantaneously. What happens? She over spent by 25.00 or so, I made the comment that I had asked her not to overspend and that I’ll take care of it. Her response was ‘Oh hell no’, my response right back was ‘Oh hell yes, I am not going through what I went through the last time you were short again’. She then apologized which is something quite new.

Next up she sends me a message yesterday that she needs to get the baby mattress ordered because she is coming today or tomorrow. Well I can’t do that because I gave her everything for Mothers day, now what do I do. CRAP!!

I need to temper what I give her, saving what I can and just not give her everything I can and hold back to place into savings. What she does not know I have won’t find its way into her pockets and through her fingers.
