Consistency

Consistency... the mother of ignorance.

The Ex has gotten rid of her boyfriend and is dating someone new. A switch that seemingly happened overnight. Tuesday the boyfriend is at Max's little league game hugging him and cheering him on then Thursday the new guy is there. Now I'm not a child of divorce myself but that has to be a bit confusing for a ten year old.

I've started talking to Max about it but didn't have a lot of time. I wasn't until Sunday that the boys confirmed what was going on. I never directly asked though I pretty much know, probably before the boyfriend.

Wednesday when I asked who's car was in the driveway Max said mom's new friend from Facebook, someone from high school. She had a crush on him when she was in high school he told me. I was not surprised, in fact I laughed. When the Ex decided she wanted a divorce from me she began by looking up an old boyfriend from high school on Classmates.com.

I don't care who she dates. I have no positive feeling toward her. I do hate the fact she allows the boys to get attached to these guys. And I don't understand her desire to prance the new guy infront of me. She texted me making sure I was going to the baseball game. She actually talked to me during the game, something she usually avoids. She tried to get me to pick the boys up early on Wednesday so I would get there while he and her were still home.

I don't think she even knows she does it. She is so bitter toward me she probably has this unconcieous need to try to annoy me. She thinks she is actually over the divorce. Yet she doesn't even have my phone number saved in her phone. A number she needs to use to call the boys when it is my weekend. Even though the kids use her phone too.

The other day she asked me. "Did you get my text?" I said no. "She looked at her phone and figured out she sent it to the wrong number. If not saving my number to her phone doesn't scream issue I don't know what does. Yet when she needs to be taken to the hospital because of a kidney stone who did she call? If I mentioned it she would say I'm just spouting psychobabble.

Consistency... Good to know SOMETHINGS never change.
