Ok so here we go with this blogging stuff. This will be scattered and quite an experience for both me the writer and you the reader.
I am not a writer so it may seem all over the place in thoughts that run through my head. But lets give it a try.
So this has been the most incredible year of my life. That's not the good meaning of incredible either.
First I went through an ordeal with my ex wife cheating on me while I was out of town on a business trip. Then I found out she was actually doing it months before and had put an add in Kijiji looking for someone for a distraction.
You guessed it. I packed my things and left. Even though I have 2 kids and was very concerned for them I decided that by throwing her out would have been more disruptive in their lives. So I left.
Yes I know that wasn't the bravest thing to do but I had to weigh all my options and finally choose the one that didn't hurt them.
So at this point the question arose whats next. How about having to pay $2000 a month to the ex to make things easier for them til the house sold and the divorce commenced. Let me make this clear that it's a huge amount for me. And since we are disclosing everything and not leaving anything out here's the breakdown. $3800 per month is the take home pay. And $2000 is going to the ex and the kids in the house. That makes $800 for me right? That shouldn't be hard to get by on. Well this is when it gets complicated and the math doesn't work. $450 goes to rent. $200 for food. $100 is for gas. And so the $50 was left for incidentals. Goes fast doesn't it.
So onward. I had moved into an old house with a friend in a cold basement and when we plugged 2 or more things in it would blow a fuse. Great.
Next 8 months goes by and I am living tough and lost 20 lbs. And other things happened during that time that's hard to write about right now but maybe in future blogs it will all come out.
So back to it. 8 months go by and I am in Edmonton with a friend visiting and shopping at the big mall. Then the phone call comes and my roomie tells me that a pipe burst and all my stuff got wet and my room was destroyed and needed to be fully replaced. You guessed it. I have to find a new place to live. And fast.
Luckily that happened and another friend just happened to have room to spare. So the migration started slowly in my Chevy Optra. Not exactly the greatest moving vehicle.
Now here comes the interesting part. It so happens that the ex was spending more money than she was making or receiving at the time. That's not whats so suprising because she has been doing that since I met her. But what is suprising is that she racked up $10 thousand dollars in debt in three months and didn't pay bills and let the creditors start their phone calls to me.
So I come to learn the hard way that when it comes to this woman she always wanted to have what the neighbors had. So when there wasn't anyone to control her spending she just spent it.
Right now I will let this e as far as I write.
I guess this is what they call a cliffhanger and you will have to keep reading in the future to get the whole story. No matter how badly written.
See ya then
