Gut-wrenching Laughter
So, an old boyfriend still owes me money for having his cell phone on my bill. I have been trying to get him to pay the disconnect fee and be done with him. Well, he isn't very reliable...talks a good game about paying but has no follow-thru. So, I emailed him today. Here is my email to him this morning...
As of today, you owe me $xx to have the 917# disconnected and to pay the bills for the last two months. P, you are a grown man and this is ridiculous that I have to hunt you down to get you to be responsible for what you owe me. I have left you numerous messages and sent emails regarding this payment. You continue to use the phone as well. As mentioned previously, you are responsible for your share of the phone bill until such time that you pay a disconnect fee or the contract runs out.
You need to make arrangements to pay me and end this nonsense. Add $2 for each day that I am not paid. I will continue to add a late fee for every month you haven't paid. If this is not resolved, I will be forced to take you to court. Perhaps calling your girlfriend will help get you to pay?! What will it take P? We need this to be over. It has been over a year!
Then, tonight I was looking around online and found a blog written by him. Which led to a blog by his girlfriend that he started seeing before he was even completely out of my house. Here is what she wrote that got me to laughing...
Puppy Love (July 29, 2005)
Ah yes - I have finally met a new guy. He's kind, considerate, cute, bald, tall, talented, smart, funny, has 2 tattoos, has done some acting, worked on film project and comes from a good family. I tend to meet someone new about every 3 years so I was due. I sent back enough of those "your luck will improve if you send this e-mail to XX of your friends in the next 30 seconds..." emails that I have earned it.The remaining Lexapro is going in the trash.
So, this really cracked me up. He plays a good game. I thought the same of him in the beginning as well. He is a charmer. But, after a while he became somewhat withdrawn and didn't work much of the time he lived with me. Thus, he became in such debt to me for not being able to pay his own bills or share of the bills. That was most of the demise of our relationship. So, he finally got his past due paid. But, he hasn't kept up with the current bills for the cell and has gotten behind again. Promises to pay me by a certain time and doesn't follow through. So, the next blog got me laughing even harder...
Exes (November 14, 2005)
Yes I have very strong feelings against ex-girl/boyfriends lingering around in the background of any relationship. This is something that has been bothering me for sometime. At what point can one say - wrap it up or wrap THIS up? This situation in my life is really getting to me. Me and my fabulous new guy are approaching 4 months of courtship. Things are on the cusp of are we or aren't we getting really serious. If we are, then she has to go. People who are serious about moving on do not keep a cell phone plan with the ex. Mutal friends or not.Guess it's time for a talk.
Yeah, I agree! I think it should be over too. I have tried to get him to pay me and be done. Funny thing is, he told me sometime in the Spring that he didn't mind his cell being on my plan and that it could stay even after the contract ended. I told him no that I wasn't his personal bank and bill collector. I was tired of him never paying me when he said he would and me having to hunt him down all the time. It makes me wonder if he will ever be responsible. And, I actually feel sorry for this girl and hope he doesn't treat her this way too.
Run away...he has commitment issues! Thank goodness for me.
Edit: I commented on her blog. Wonder if she will read it?! Here was my response to her:
You know...I am tired of him hanging around too. Get him to pay me the money he owes me and we will be done. Get him to change his address too and then his mail won't come here. And, finally, get him to get the rest of his belongings out of my house. I am not a storage unit.Funny thing is...sometime in the Spring, he told me he didn't mind having his cell on my plan and that it could stay when the contract ran out. Wrong Answer!!I so want to be done with this BS. Encourage him to do the same!! Thanks. Oh, by the way, it is September 25, 2006 and he still has that plan!
