Okay, try this one on for size. I'm right in the middle of preparing Friday night Shabbat dinner for my boyfriend (who is a WONDERFUL man!) and I and for some WEIRD reason an ex-boyfriend who I've not talked with in 2 YEARS calls up to chat. WHY?! I even told him that I'd not talked with him in 2 years because he's married now and has a kid = "Have a nice life." and end of story!
(That and he's one of the most arrogant people I know!)
My guess on why he called: he & wife knew each other (mostly in the Biblical sense) for a grand total of 8 months before they got married in June 2005. Kiddo arrived in January 2006 and it wasn't a premature delivery. You do the math. Kiddo would be right smack in the middle of toddlerhood right now and my guess is that the reality of having a kid is hitting him upside the head big-time. Not to mention the fact that he knows I would've NEVER been so crass as to "oops" him into a marriage (I literally RAN to the clinic the morning after a contraceptive failure in order to get the "morning after" pill and this was back in 1995 when you had to go to an abortion clinic to get it and it cost $90!).
Needless to say, I ended this conversation FAST! I don't know about y'all, but once I tell a guy to take a hike, I break off ALL contact! Next time I'm turning the ringer off on my phone to start the weekend! I'm just glad I have a WONDERFUL man in my life now who treats me like a queen, has a GREAT family, and most important of all--is NOT interested in having kids--HOORAY!!!
Thanks for listening. Just had to vent.
