I'm shocked that I'm shocked

BD owes roughly $375 for his half of the past year of extra curricular activities for DS. He says no problem he'll pay it, and said two weeks ago that he would pay $200 of it Friday 6/21, his payday. On Friday he asks if the money can wait because he wants to buy a $900 vacation. I told him I would really rather have the $ sooner than later. He says no problem, he would give it to me that day when he picked up DS for the weekend. It ended up that his mom picked up DS, and BD said he would give me the money today. When we go to pick DS up today, BD said he has the money but it is in his wallet locked in his car and his car keys were somewhere inside the house but he couldn't find them.

Seriously?

ugh. Could you have gotten him to write you a check? That is so annoying

Mel, he's hiding the Monster Truck, I have yet to see it in person. He has no idea that I know about it lol.

Holly, apparently he doesn't have checks? Most banks give your first set of checks free, or at least they used to.

Now I'm supposed to get the money this Friday when he takes DS out to dinner. He will have no excuse not to stop at the ATM and get the money. Although, I'm sure he'll have some excuse...

And what would piss me off is that he's trying to look like he's making an effort and that it's no big deal but in reality he really doesn't have it but doesn't want to look like the bad guy.

This. How long does he think he can make excuses before he has to pay up or own up?!

This is my ex!  I am still waiting on insurance reimbursement and OOP medicals from 2008 (and every year thereafter).  Somehow I don't think I am going to get them....but he sure did promise me at least twice a week for like a year.
