Anita-

The update since yesterday is this:  I did agree to pay the full $380.00.  However- I then messaged him saying look I cannot pay that amount plus the dog sitter.  I’m aware I agreed to pay half prior but I did not think a 2 day vacation would be setting me back over $400 if I include the pet sitter.  I can’t afford it.  I can pay $200 and that’s it.

He said no problem that’s fine and not to worry about it.  I’ve noticed a reoccuring behavior with him.  After there is some type of disagreement?  or discussion that’s a little uncomfortable he messages me more than usual the entire day.  It’s very noticeable.

I’m just tired.  Here is my overall impression.  He was very OCD with his wife about paying half for certain things- they have been mediating back and forth because she insists on splitting everything half and half down to dryer balls? china, framed pictures, workshop tools, kids snow clothes, etc.  She’s getting him back I think.  Yet he has a closet full of expensive camp gear, a collection of expensive sun glasses, and a chest of drawers full of a clothing line he likes that is really expensive- thousands of dollars worth of clothing in the chest I’m not exaggerating.  He also goes on vacations.  What’s going on here and why am I having to deal with this?
