An Easter Tale

[JB BooksParticipant 3182]

The old ball-and-chain (“B&C” – we’ve been PERMANENTLY separated for years with a VERY strong post-nup) said nothing about getting together for Easter until a little over a week ahead, having selected a rather upscale place. I accepted and ate way too much at the buffet (they’re a weakness of mine) and covered most of the tab for the three of us (including our grown son, who’s a pretty good young man starting out, even if he’s mostly red pill).

At the brunch, the B&C said I should make reservations for Mother’s Day at Shaw’s Crab House. I didn’t commit, but after checking determined that after tax and tip, it’d run at least a hundred bucks for EACH of the three of us.

Frankly, that’s well beyond my budget AND I’d rather enjoy just eating a regular meal off the menu. So I thought about it and realized that IT’S NOT HER FAULT IF I’M TOO STUPID TO ESTABLISH REASONABLE BOUNDARIES!

I emailed her this morning and set out two agreeable options for ALL FUTURE GET-TOGTHERS: either we agree upon a restaurant and split the tab or the one choosing the restaurant on their own pays the bill. (btw, I usually host Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve at my place and that’s fine)

Haven’t heard back and probably won’t for a good while. And it’s NO PROBLEMO. Long as I ain’t gettin’ played for a chump, contact or no contact works for me…

We just don't realize life's most significant events while they're happening. Back then, I thought, "Well, there'll be other days". I didn't realize that that was the only day. - "Moonlight" Graham

Once I get rid of my parasite, I hope to never see it again never mind spend the holidays with it, and continue to pay for it’s eats and treats.

It’s not a bad thing that you have an amicable arrangement, I just can’t imagine it with my situation which is FINE with me.

Havent seen or had any contact with the parasite since one year.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

To the op, yup are bluepilling.

Voluntarily paying for an ex?

All my life I've had doubts about who I am, where I belonged. Now I'm like the arrow that springs from the bow. No hesitation, no doubts. The path is clear. And what are you? Alive. Everything else is negotiable. Women have rights; men have responsibilities; MGTOW have freedom. Marriage is for chumps. If someone stands in the way of true justice, you simply walk up behind them and stab them in the heart-R'as al Ghul.

Still trying to keep her options open. This is a little too close to being an orbiter for my taste.

Covering most – not all – of the cost, which includes my son being with both parents for an occasion.

I can understand why some would call it blue pill or simping, but it maintains civility in the marriage (why not divorced… good reasons and another story) at relatively minimal cost.

Maintaining “civility” is a losing game and a dangerous one.

Take my unsolicited advice and break off all ties.
You will regret “civility” at some point down the road.

I will not be attending the funerals of either of my ex’s, btw.
I see no reason to visit a person that hurt and wronged me.

Well, it may be satisfying to visit their grave sites on you wedding date to p~~~ on their grave. LOL LOL LOL

Personally, once I move on, I simply move on.

I have family members that I have not seen in decades WITHOUT REGRET.

I could care less about ANY type of reunions or get togethers with old friends as that’s all about the PAST.

I can’t imagine why I would treat my divorced wife any differently. I have no desire to take her out to dinner or do anything else with her NOW never mind once I”M PHYSICALLY GONE. My EVERYTHING else has left year ago, and the body will be the last to go due to child and financial reasons.

I would not be in that situation. Period. But, I have to admit, if I was, yes I would cover the tab. It’s not really Blue Pill for me. It’s kind of like a sense of power for me. It shows how much better off I am instead of her. Yea, it maybe all in my head. But the old Blue pill habits die hard.

More often than not, it’s just so I can get the f~~~ out of there. Part ways and leave.

Personally? I won’t be paying s~~~ for any of my Ex’s. Ever. Last time I saw my ex wife, that was I think a year ago right before both my older son’s graduated High School. Only one of them wanted to go to the Ceremony. I did not even bother seeing him after. Sad, but oh well. Did not see him in the crowd.

I remember she came to my room. I didn’t even acknowledge she was there. That’s how I deal with it. I don’t care that much. Was it Cold? Actually, what she did was way colder. And so did her family.

My last ex? That c~~~ better never even get my photons. One by one, their lives are starting to end. And nothing makes me happier. It’s not that their lives are ending, they are really not doing so well. And whatever does come there way? It’s only going to get worse.

In fact, things are starting to unravel more each year. I keep getting better and happier, and they all seem to be reaching their roadblocks.

Sometimes, it’s just easy to pay and go on your way. I look at it as a convenience thing. There will be a day that my son Graduates High School or middle school, and you bet your bottom dollar, there will not be me or her there. Or her family for that matter. Tit for tat. Tit for tat.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home
