She did it again 

Well, she did it again.  She and #2 son are going to the college basketball game tomorrow.  We were sitting in the family room this afternoon, and she said to him, "I don't like driving up to the university.  Maybe we'll have Dad drop us off and pick us up."  Can you believe her?  She didn't ask me, and I was sitting right there!  No regard for me, or my time, or my feelings.  No respect at all.

Who the hell does she think she is?  Who does she think I am?  Where does she get off spending MY time?  It's not hers to spend.  She doesn't want to drive up to the university, but I can do it twice, and I don't even get to see the game.  She gets to have a good time, and I get to spend the afternoon being her chauffeur?  That is SO offensive.  When she and #2 go to the game, I plan to have a quiet afternoon alone.  But she thinks that she can just take that away from me without a second thought.  Clearly, I have no value to her, and my time is worth nothing.

So I voiced my...shall we say...reluctance to provide this service.  She told me that if I filled her car with gas, she would drive to the game.  What the hell!  Now I have to buy my way out of a situation that she had no right to put me in?  Since I had to go out anyway, I figured it wasn't a hill worth dying on, and it would be more time away from her.  How can she possibly think that I don't want out of this marriage?  Does she think that I enjoy being treated like this?  Do you think she would tolerate being treated the way she treats me?

Oh, I have enjoyed the time alone.  Almost five hours of it.  The game is over, so they're on their way home.  We won big, so at least they won't be miserable.  This episode is over, now we wait for the next one.  (Shouldn't be long.)

Thanks for your love and support.  I don't know what I'd do without my friends here.

Sorry she put you on the spot and in front of your son, that is just wrong! I don't understand the gall some have! But what do ya do? I am quite sure she would not tolerate that sort of behavior towards herself. Hope you enjoyed the time away from her at least...

That is truly, well, I am not even sure. She really doesn't have a clue does she?

I am glad you stood your ground as well.  Maybe you should have told her you would have been more than happy to drive her upi if SHE filled up YOUR gas tank as well as kicked you a few bucks to  get some  some food and maybe a movie while you were waiting for her.
  But it is funny how she puts YOU on the spot infront of your kids.  She is not just selfish but also manipulative. 
 You should tell her you got other plans let her worry about how she gets there and go up with out her. Dont forget to wave and smile when she walks in and is stunned by your presence there.
 Good luck and dont take her crap.  It will bite her in the ass eventually. **huggs**

I think it's called being totally selfish.  They get that way.  And sadly, it gets worse.  So the only way to deal with it is to stay strong, live your life and keep moving ahead. 

They want what they want when they want it.

Well, so do we.  And what we want is to not be treated like crap.

Glad you stood your ground.
