So I am really trying to work with my ex for BS' s sake. Ex finally got caught back up on CS after his little decision to stop paying and had not gone nuts on me since the little incident in March. Other than his mother's day/ fathers day declaration he has been almost tolerable.

So Bs turns 10 in July and instead of a huge kid party DH and I got awesome tickets to a MLB game and BS got to bring a friend. In a moment of goodwill/ insanity we invited ex, SM and SS19. Ex agreed to pay for their 3 tickets and 1/2 of Bs. I bought the tickets, told him the cost and he has yet to pay me. I just emailed him the cost per ticket again and said I was going to print off the tickets.

I would really like my money on that. Bs mentioned ex is going to the game on memorial and he told me that they are going to a concert tomorrow. He is not hurting financially and I am sure as beck not treating him to a freaking game.

God I hope I do not regret this. I don't get a ton of cs and had to pay a lot of money recently to take him back to get it adjusted. I pay for the insurance and have never asked him to pay hid 47% of medical bills because he is such an ass about money. It is just easier to do it myself. Fingers crossed he just offers to pay me.

Trust me he is not getting those ticket till I get my money. They are 87.00 a ticket.

We usually do a couple games a season and this coupled with what I normally spend on a birthday party for the 4 tickets I was planning on buying was in my original plan fine. I really don't need him to pay 1/2 of bs' s just his 3 tickets.

I had to tell him I was switching jobs because my insurance changes, his firs words were did you get more money. Really??? He knows what I made last year because of court, who asks people stuff like that?

I love you Sweet but if I could, I would reach through the computer and thump you on the forehead!! What were you thinking woman. That man has abused you physically and mentally. Less than 2 months ago this man SCREAMED and CUSSED you in your own house.

I honestly am floored that you would do this. What good will come if he goes? Your DS probably has about a 50 percent chance of seeing this asshole go off on you. You cant trust that man as far as you can throw him.

And now you are going to have to engage him to try and collect money. UGH!! This is what I think will happen. He will say that he thought you invited them and he thought you already had tickets so he did not know he would have to pay for them. And he obviously cannot pay for them since he pays you SOOOO much in CS. At least this is what he will tell DS.

Ugh...I will be truly surprised if this does not blow up. Either due to the money or him being an ass to you in front of everyone at the game. I just want to shake you. But in a nice way. lol

I love you too Willow :).

He knew he has to pay and he knew the price because I told him what I was looking at before I bought them. His wife appears to have reigned him in as of late and he has been pretty good lately ( I think he is afraid of my husband... lol and believe me he should be) and BS really wanted this. I am despertly trying for us to not be so disfunctional for BS's sake.

If he f's this up that is my last effort ever. If he doesn't pay me I will let BS bring a second friend and let SS19 bring his girlfriend as ss17 is working at camp all summer. I have included his brothers at his parties after the divorce. I love them and their mom and her blended family. Or I can ask my parents ( who don;'t like baseball and my aunt to come. If I have to pay for this I can deal with it. My company has to pay me out for 112hrs of vacation time and my new company is giving me vacation that is all up front so my finances are capable of handling the extra cost. I am just not treated the a$$hole to a game.

Give him a deadline. If he doesn't pay by Sunday you will be giving the tickets to BM1 and her sons and her dh.

That should do it.
