Saturday we were on such a high after making what we felt like was the right decision on the right home. We were kind of embarrassed that we got so excited about the previous house and didn't pay attention to the size of the bedrooms and closets. After relaxing all afternoon, we headed over to a friends house for a large pool party. It was nice to get out of the house, drag my friend Brad out for a change and to be able to sit and have a good time with friends and see people we haven't seen in ages. Lots of hugs and "where the hell have you been" greetings. Makes a person feel good.
Not long after we arrived, my ex showed up with his partner. He was all smiles and happy to see us, but his partner still hates us. You see, after pushing the issue, he told me a while back that his partner feels that the money he owes me for all my investment I put into the condo we owned together, should not be paid back to me. That I don't deserve it. Like he has any say so in the arrangement my ex and I made.
(I told you I wouldn't be holding back on this blog anymore. It was one of my rules when I started this thing up again. If I want to get something off my chest, I'm going to do it. I held my tongue for way to long.)
Rather then just sucking it up for my ex's sake, putting on a fake smile and saying Hi, he stands a few feet behing my ex, staring into the distance as if he's not seeing us. I hate seeing him having to deal with something like that, but he's not the type of guy to cause confrontation. He just deals with things. It was obvious we were making his partner uncomfortable, which in some twisted way, I enjoyed. I'll admit it. Soon my money will be paid back to me and his partner won't have anything to worry about anymore. I'll be glad when that day is over.
After working on the contract today, Steven painted, I watched a Disney movie then after dinner, we sat and watched True Blood while I cried like a baby during the ending.
Stupid Vampires.

Poor Godric. He was starting to become the least predictable and most interesting character on the show. And could we please wrap the Michelle Forbes storyline now? Zzzzz...
As for the ex's partner: As I've been in a situation not unlike your own for the same amount of time, the partner REALLY needs to let this garbage go. You can have opinions on how a divorce/separation should be handled but, unless it's your own, all you can do is advise only when asked - and then be aware that the advice is only advice.
I hate to break it to you but the drama might not be resolved after the money is paid. Sounds to me like he's hot happy with you for multiple reasons. And the biggest mistake he's making isn't about the money issues or even petty jealousy, it's forgetting that you and the ex still have an amicable social friendship. If he's not careful, there might come a time where this ongoing behavior will blow up in his face. "New Partner Guy" doesn't have to be your buddy, he just has to be civil and keep his scenes out of the public eye. Besides, how does something that happened long before he came into the picture affect him or his opinion of you anyway?
On the other hand, for the sake of what's left of your friendship with the ex, I'd say be the better man and hold no grudges here with whatever he does. Brush it off, consider the drama source. Considering all the players in scene, it's the best path to take.
I have been watching TRUE BLOOD as well. I LOOOVED Godric. I wouldn't be surprised if he comes back as a god-like entity.
I saw Steven's pictures of the house on FB tonight. It's a very nice house. I hope that all goes well with negotiations and contracts and the like and that soon you'll be moving in to your new home. Oh, and what did the current owner say about leaving the blue sectional?
Got my fingers crossed for you!
