this has to be some bizarro alternate universe
Are you fucking kidding me???? :nuke::nuke::nuke:

Now he says he is not leaving until tuesday because that is when the internet connection will be established at his new place and he has to be online on monday. I told him there are plenty of wifi locations and he can set up shop with his laptop but he is not backing down - that is is before the 1st and so I am being unreasonable.

:wtf:

I reminded him that when one tells their spouse that they would like a divorce, one should have one's SHIT TOGETHER. This is not some half-assed thing here, we are talking about the dissolution of our marriage.

Who the hell does he think he is???

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

15. I'm doing okay.
I was given a gift of a manual wheelchair. A friend of a friend's grandmother used to use it, but passed away. The family was looking to give it away. So it found its way to me free of charge. It's an expensive model too. So now I need to find out more about my patron so I can remember her through this gift of her wheelchair.

Now when friends want to go somewhere I have a chair that can be tossed into someone's trunk. :)

The Wizard Rock Festival was yesterday. It was Awesome. We sold out before we even opened the door because there was a line there waiting for us hours before the doors opened. The music was awesome.

How are you doing? :hug: :loveya:

9. Call your internet provider and ask them to disable your service for a week.
Tell them that you're going out of town, and you don't want your house-sitter using your service.

Sure, you'll be offline during that time, but so will he.

22. If it's RoadCrawler...
... then just take the cable modem back to the office, mumbling like "i'm switching to DSL". They'll cut service that day and they'll stop charging you. Then call back a few days later say "DSL is lame, can I have my RoadCrawler back?" You'll probably have to wait for someone to show up and plug it in for you but that's one way of doing it but it is extreme extreme extreme!

10 broken fingers and two black eyes so in the interest of keeping it simple he should get the fuck out!

19. The next time he leaves...
...change all the locks on the doors, and throw any of his stuff remaining out on the lawn.

Maybe he'll take a hint.

20. Take a vacation.
To anywhere.

That pinned-down feeling is what he wants from you. You're free. Have a spontaneous adventure until he's out of excuses.

21. Call a locksmith and have all the locks re-keyed. Today.
Don't wait until he's gone and make sure there he has no key. Several months from now, have them all changed again.

24. **thank you all**
for all your input.

I am afraid to confront him about it. There, I have said it. I will be fine once he leaves, but as long as he is in the house, I have to be careful. And if he is reading this, then I am glad he knows I am telling the whole freaking world. I have told him that one should not use their size to intimidate. And no, there has never, ever been a violent moment, but is is quite frightening when angered.

25. Any way he might be reading your online postings?
I agree with the poster who suggested changing the locks, too. I'd go farther...rent a storage unit and move his stuff in it and hand him the key. :hug:

Hey, Mr. Malta Blue. You are the saddest excuse for a human being this side of John McCain. In fact, John McCain is actually a better person than you are you rat faced, dimwitted, moronic waste of bread.

Go dig yourself a hole, preferably near sewer run-off, enter it and never resurface again. You'd be doing the world a favor you fucking douchebag.

32. It's time to call one's brother and cousins
In the meantime, Mr. Malta Blue, this is especially for you: Intimidating anyone with your size? Playing passive-aggressive little mind games? You are a bully, and a waste of human skin. You wanted the divorce. Get the fuck out and move on with your life.

33. amusingly enough, my 17 y/o cousin
who is actively being recruited by Rutgers for football (think BIG BOY) caught wind of it on my facebook and has already gathered up a posse ready to move in at a moment's notice.

41. He lives about 3 hours away, but sent me many
a message saying to just let him know - that his dad would drive him up and they would get him out. Between my cousin and my uncles and brother, Mr BM would not stand a chance in hell of disputing anything. I don't even think it would come to blows at all, it would just be the show of force/support from my family that would make him fold into a little pile of shit.

You can block access to his computer's mac address. I am sure a geekazoid could help you with that.

38. Call your lawyer.
The STBE is being manipulative whether he knows it or not. He picked the date to leave, you agreed to it, end of discussion. He needs to solve his Monday internet access problem all by his sorry ass selfish self.

You are NOT being unreasonable -- he is. And yes, he probably wants to believe that he can tell all his future gfs what a wonderful and amicable divorce you had.

39. This is the best advice on this thread.
And whatever you do, do NOT threaten violence, or have someone close to you do so by proxy. That can come back to bite you later. Good luck--I know (from personal experience) how much that situation sucks.

Sorry you are going through this.

Can you disconnect the cable until he goes? Clip the wire, or call the cable company, or just take the modem with you?

43. ***update****
After he received calls from my brother basically telling him that he would indeed be moving out on Sunday, and my telling him that he would have to do so, he has conceded to get out on Sunday, but will need back in on Tuesday to move his stuff with a mover.

So, I think we have reached an agreement with that - thank the gods/goddesses.

45. I feel so relieved now too.
I have been sick to my stomach for days with him being there anyway, and then he tried to tell me it was going to be longer :banghead:

My brother, cousins, everyone in the family was ready to come up and "move" him out.

53. If you ever had any concern at all about your safety
you cannot be alone on those two days. That's all. Don't do it.

I myself made too many trips to the ER when I miscalculated. I guess I shouldn't complain that I made it all the way to the hospital.

but Tuesday is hard because all of my friends are at work. My stepfather is older (77) so i would feel bad asking him to "represent" on Tuesday, but I know he would be there if I needed him to.

55. Good. And on Tuesday, any other person/s is good enough.
Don't you have an Avon or Amway rep that is wanting to show you new stuff on the porch?

No importa. Other people can defuse the situation by just being there. I know you can figure that out.

Be safe, hermanita. Prevent regrets r us. :hug:
