Well, after all these years of STBX telling me to "go screw" when I needed help, I finally got a little payback.
He wanted to take the truck (which was court ordered to me until this is over) to go fishing/camping this weekend. Well guess what? I told him, NO!!!! I said, "remember all those times over the years, I asked you for help, whether it was financially or just recently when my car got repossessed and I had NO car" he told me, "you shot yourself in the foot, tough @#$#@$!
Well, he's madder than a hornet, had to borrow a truck to take his boat! SO HAH! It's really out of my character to be nasty, but after all these years of physical/emotional/verbal abuse, the mere fact that he couldn't have his truck to go have fun with his friends (not taking the kids), was purely self gratifying!
Just had to share. It's a big milestone for me just to stand up for myself and tell him, "NO"! I spent years bending over backwards to make sure HE was happy and his life was smooth. So a little bump in his road this weekend made my whole day!
Thanks for listening.
Hugs,
Jennifer

Good for you!
I think it's part of our nature as women (and as moms) to give in whenever asked, to sacrifice our own desires in order to "keep the peace" and things like that. Men seem to naturally "take, take, take" without stopping to consider whom they are taking from.
You are not being a b*tCh, you're just NOT letting him walk all over you anymore... CONGRATULATIONS!! You are SOO right to stand your ground.
Hugs!

Way to go, Sister!
Remember why you are divorcing him? You don't DESERVE to be walked over, taken advantage of, and put down by him any more! Congratulations on standing your ground and sticking to him!
Good for you!

Jennifer,
that was a straight Dominique Devereaux move! you can borrow my fake floor-length fur and you better work it!! good for YOU!! any man who would sit back with no regard, empathy, or concern after his family's car has been repossessed is souless and soooo deserves to see what it feels like to do without!!
can't wait til i can tell a similiar story; my STBX is rolling around in two luxury cars, a van, and has motorcycles; hopefully, although my name isn't on one of the luxuary vehicles, the judge will be fair to award me one of them, hello!!
good for you, keep up the great karma work ...
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!
I'm proud that you said NO! Mine likes to call to ask questions about his savings plan and if I know about his warranties, etc. HELLO? Go ask your mom, NOT ME! I called him to discuss divorce papers, and he can't stay on topic, has to veer off to 1000 other topics. Afterwards, he tells me it was so nice to talk to me, could he call me again? HELL NO!
WTG on being strong!
