EX’s truck is sitting in my driveway , so I couldn’t resist looking to see just how much junk was keeping him from driving HIS truck and gas around with my children… low and behold, there are KEYS on the front seat.

Isn't it nice when they hand us that validation? "Oh, thank you, that is why I am so much better off."

No wonder so many of them rush into new relationships - they seem so clueless on their own. Of course they sometimes get wth clueless women so it creates an exponential clueless loop!

So what is it about men and trucks? (oh no, I'm generalizing and sweetie has a truck that he takes good care of, so this is not ALL men......)

XH totaled the car he had when we separated, so he bought a truck. Stick shift, but no 4WD. He got it stuck in my gravel driveway one winter and I said "Just pop it in 4 wheel and it'll slide right out," to which he replied, (I kid you not) "It doesn't have 4 wheel. I couldn't afford THAT!" Guess who finally got it out? Me. (All those beach trips with sweetie, driving on sand must have taught me something.)

So last month there was something wrong so he had it at the dealer and it was going to cost $500 to fix. Oh horrors! Five-hundred dollars? That's too much! (I say, my voice dripping with sarcasm) So he buys a new truck right then and there. Dodge F1500, mega cab, hemi engine.... sticker price over $35K. And again... no 4WD. If he's at my house in the snow again, I'm telling him to leave it on the street so I don't have to bail his sorry behind out again.

12MPG city, 19MPG highway and gas is $2.60 now. I wish he could afford to pay me what he owes me in medical expenses.........
