Yeah, from what I hear he'd need to have his laptop taped to the ceiling to read while drinking beer.

I just noticed that when I posted my new address, I fucked up. So, once again, for anyone keeping score:

11412 E 77th Terrace
Raytown, MO 64138

Yup...this time, it is correct.

Leslie (TF) has been busting her hump every day at the house while I'm at work. Looks like we're just a couple of evenings away from being essentially done. Then, I just have a fish tank to get rid of, and then the DAV gets to haul off the remains. A small amount of cleaning and minor patch up will follow, and then...maybe someone will buy it.

Excellent, Zippy.

I didn't see anything that would make me think 'insane' in that post either. I thought it was a nice viewpoint from someone who's been there, in the not so distant past. I really don't know why the word is there, but I don't think it was meant maliciously. It was just an odd choice. For what it's worth.

I do hope things are starting to feel better for you, spode.

glatt · 12-08-2011, 07:16 PM

Jim's was a good post and I didn't think anything about it was insane. But I also assumed that 'splode's using that choice of words was kind of like Bill Murray jovially addressing someone as a "crazy kid" or something like that.

But I hesitate to jump into this because you're both adults who can work this out yourself. So shut up and hug.

Elspode · 12-08-2011, 11:51 PM

Jim, reading back through it, I think it was just a drunkenly poor choice of a word. Perhaps it would have been better to say that what you'd written was both on target yet wildly off. Sure, I've mulled over some self-recrimination, but I've pretty much considered it and let it go. The collapse of things was a mutual event, not my fault and only mine, so I'm no more or less culpable than she is.

You are correct...no one, including me, knows why the fuck she chose to exit the way she did. I don't think it's because she's evil. I think it's because she's chickenshit, and that was the quickest way to get out of having to deal with me over the collapse of our finances and household. She herself has compared it to "ripping off a bandaid", stating that it would have been much more painful and hard on both of us to try and gradually get our shit separated and go our separate ways with a plan. I can sort of see that, but I still don't think it justifies the fucking shock I got, or justifies the fact that there are so many things that we fucked up together than I will now have to unfuck on my own, since she's copped out, or justifies the total lack of input I got on how things were divided, etc, etc. It's kinda like she's pissed on the toilet seat and left it wet, knowing I'd have to sit on it.

Far be it from me to tell someone they're insane, though.

Met with Selene tonight for the first time since her departure. Compared to her, I think I'm at least in a better emotional place. We both have some tough roads ahead of us, but I'm mostly moved in with someone who loves me and who has been busting her ass on my behalf, so I feel rather blessed, all things considered.

Selene and I seem to have arrived at some mutual agreement on how to divide the debts. Basically, I'll get them all except her student loan debt, but I'll be able to either pay them off, or get them massively reduced or eliminated through the inevitable bankruptcy.

And so it goes.

DucksNuts · 12-12-2011, 09:30 PM

Why do you get all the debt, 'spode? How do you "mutually agree" for you to get all the debt accumulated during your relationship.

Im still pissy on your behalf, whether its what you want or not.

I do love the fact that you have a strong women like TF in your corner and wonderful friends.

Elspode · 12-12-2011, 09:54 PM

I get all the debt...except $55k in student loans. :-)

kerosene · 12-12-2011, 09:56 PM

And student loans are non-dischargeable, so I think he has the better end of the deal, here.

Elspode · 12-12-2011, 10:00 PM

Even *she* said that, and I am inclined to agree.
