Why ex's are ex's...

I'm ashamed for losing my temper because I'm better than that.  And even after all this time, he finds a way to push my buttons.

As to why I deal with the car stuff... the loan is in my name, and thus the registration is in my name, and only in my name.  Getting him to take over the loan has been a whole 'nother migraine/ulcer combo.  He's one of those people who always has an excuse.  Or a plan (that never quite materializes).

Taking the car back and making the payments myself is also an option, but not a very pleasant one financially.   But that's not to say I haven't threatened to do just that, several times.  And it's still an option, but there's only 10 payments left and then I'll sign the lemon car over to him and be done with it once and for all.

Also... what kind of person, at 35, doesn't have a checking account?   

i'd take the car back and sell it.  You might lose a little on the deal, but it might be worth it.  You could probably even use it as a trade in for a new car and wind up coming out pretty well, especially if you have a current car to sell/replace.  Either that or tell him to take out a loan or line of credit to buy it outright off of you.  I have never seen an arangment like that working out.  It always ends bad.  Carrying around financial liability like that for a jerk of an ex is just asking for trouble.  If he decides to stop paying, you really have no recourse besides small claims court.

At least you didn't have kids with him.

The specialness of my weekend consisted of picking up my son last night from ex's house.  Then I was talking to my son, and asked him if he remembered his swimsuit, as we might end up swimming on Saturday (after the Tri-for-Fun.)

He said no.

We went back for him to get his swimsuit.

The ex (and his lovely wife) told my son he couldn't get his swimsuit, because swimsuits are "special clothes."  I just want to know what is so "special" about his swimsuit that it can't be actually used for *gasp* swimming.

So, on my way home last night I had to stop and buy my son a swimsuit, so I can be special too. 

Madkat, I just want you to realize how special it was that you saw my son in his brand new swimsuit on Saturday. 

And, then, after all that specialness, he didn't even get wet.  I should have pushed him in or something.

10 more car payments - I only wish.  I love my kids, but sometimes...

With those two posts....THE CLAWS ARE OFFICAILLY OUT!!!!

Ahhh yes.... exes.  My most recent ex had a talent for saying obnoxious things.

Some of the classics...

From your basic, "Wow, if you didn't work out so much you would be really fat" said while eating dinner. 

To the Mack Daddy comment, said as I was deciding to undergo genetic testing to determine if I have the breast cancer gene, which if positive would lead to a double masectomy with reconstruction: 

"I don't understand why you would want to do that.  They won't look right.  It isn't like you will have stripper quality boobs or anything." 

Madkat, you sound about one small stroke of bad luck away from being called stupid by Judge Judy. Seriously. Take back the car and sell it or make him take over the payments officially once and for all.

I've had some bad exes, but fortunately, I didn't have any entanglements with any of them so when I was done, I could just.... walk.... away. PHEW! My sister recently had to deal with an ex stealing her identity to get credit to buy a huge plasma TV. Then he decided to just stop paying. This is all a felony of course, but the cops and Dell just decided to forgive the whole situation. Meanwhile, my sister's still trying to clean the incident off her credit. :-P Ugh.

She has a dodge durango with third row seating!!!!!!!

They would all fit!
