Who had a weirder, more awkward day than than me today?
I went to the gas plant that I cover for a 7:30 AM meeting, but left for the office around 11 AM because my wheels were finally here. When I got to the office, there was a conference going on in the conference room directly across the hall from my cubicle. The voice sounds familiar - It's my ex-wife's step dad.
What. The. Hell.
And he's here all week.
So, I'm a floor down hiding in an unoccupied office. Just some back story - my hippie ex-wife and I filed for divorce in Dec of '12. It was finalized early in Feb of '13. She lied and said that I beat her so they skipped the 3 month waiting period. Fine by me, it's not true, but it got me out early. For the record, I tried to get out early because she used to kick me in the balls because she thought it was funny. Only I had witnesses and I wasn't lying. But, I'm a man and I can't be physically abused, so they ignored my request.
A few months later, I started dating my current wife. The ex finds out, "remembers" all the time I beat her up and how I was currently stalking her (I have her phone number blocked, facebook, everything. she keeps sending me sad emails about how she can't get ahold of me). My g/f (wife now) stop by the Krav Maga gym that my ex and I used to train at (which wasn't very smart, but it wasn't to be malicious and I made sure she wasn't there. I had gone there for 2 years and I had a few friends there, plus it was an interesting thing that I used to do and I wanted to show my g/f my old hobby). The ex wasn't there, so we said hi to some people and left. No big deal.
2 months later, a sheriff stops by my apartment. My ex is slapping me with a restraining order, which means I can't go to school to do my experiments, nothing. I have to hire a lawyer and go back to court several times to get rid of this thing. Stuff like this goes on your permanent record, which I can't have. My lawyer looks her claims, says it's obviously bullcrap, but has no spine and tells me to make a deal. Her lawyers look at her case, realize it's bullcrap, and try to make a deal. I wrote a long letter to the judge, explained what happened, and it got dismissed. I took my ex to Krav Maga for 2 years, bought her a gun and CHL, taught her how to use it. She's also 6 feet tall (I'm 5'8"). Can you see where I'm going? I'm the nicest guy in the world, seriously. I also paid for her to spend a semester abroad in the Middle east to learn arabic (and dropped out of grad school for her, worked while she went to school - twice, you get the picture).
Long story short - It's been a weird day. But at least I can put my 35"s on.
I bought the hummer partially as a big "F you" to the ex. Like I said, she's a huge hippie. My current wife loves it, she told me to keep it when I was thinking about selling it last year before I got my current (way better) job.
I hate to bring the drama, but you have to admit, it is a weird story. Divorce is a weird thing.
