The Ex Part 1

As you may know, I kicked The Ass (forever more known as TA) to the curb after the stripper incident. It has been quite a roller coaster ride the past few weeks. First, I cancelled all the wedding vendors. I know one thing -- what took 8 months to build only took 4 days to dismantle! Some of them were nice enough to even give back the deposits, which really floored me. The last one I called was the DJ, because he is a family friend and I didn't want to have to go into detail with him why I was canceling. But I sucked up the courage and rang him up. Would you believe that a day later, TA called him and told him to keep us in his date book because he was sure I would forgive him and proceed with the wedding? TA is a verrrry stooopid man.

So far, TA has run the gamut of emotions with me. He's begged for forgiveness, he's sent 12 sets of a dozen roses, he has screamed, cussed, threatened and cried -- all to no avail. Thankfully, he has not sat waiting for me at work or waiting in my driveway, etc. And TA, I think you've been lurking here. Let me just say, that if you start pulling that shit, I will get a restraining order on your ass.

His mother has called me, his sister and 2 brothers have tried to reason with me too -- all trying to plead his case. But somehow, the details weren't told to them. There was quite a bit of shock when I started to bluntly give the details of the bachelor party (I didn't want to shock his poor mother, so I spared her the gory stuff). So, right now, his sister isn't talking to him. The brothers barely remember the night and didn't know about the guest room shenanigans.

He has been reasonable with my decision that we will split the money that has been flushed down the toilet with all the deposits that are non-refundable. I've changed the locks on my house and I'm thinking about changing my phone number because he calls anywhere between 10-25 times a day/night. TA, what part of I don't want/need to speak to you, do you not get? We're done. I hope that stripper was realllllllly good, because it cost you dearly.

I do want to thank all my girlfriends and family that have been rallying around. I don't know what I would have done without you! All in all, I feel pretty good. I've cried buckets, I've gone to the firing range and gotten rid of some aggression, I've taken in a couple of movies by myself to get out of the house and away from the damn phone and I've been babysitting some of my honorary nieces and nephews. It could be much, much worse.
