Dan called me the other day and sounded like hell.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Bring me soup…please…I feel sick.”
During my whole marriage he insisted that anytime I was ill, that it was all in my head. I try not to hold that against him after all these years, but it’s my first reaction to say, “Well you just need to think positive thoughts!”, I didn’t though. I ran to the store and got him low sodium chicken noodle soup and orange juice.
I called him every four hours to remind him to take his medicine and each time he thanked me and hung up mid cough.
Yesterday around noon I felt like I was hit by the sick bus. I had officially gotten what that bastard ass had given me. He called me on day 2 of his sick, which was about 5 hours into my sickness.
“Bring me soda…if I drink anymore orange juice I’m going to hurl.”
“F U, I got what you have!” I whined.
“Oh god, I’m so sorry!” (a first, he never says he’s sorry)
“ugh. go away.”
Last night Shaun brought Dan some Sprite and I got a text message saying, “Tell Shaun thank you. He’s the best ex-wife’s new husband ever.”
Today I got this message on my phone. I wanted to keep it forever so when he gets better and is a dick again, I can remind him that I am the best ex-wife…EVER.

Duh. :)
peace…
This must be the week of the sick. I’ve been sick all week too.
I hope you’re feeling better.
P.S. Would you please adopt me? I can’t even get anyone to pour me a glass of juice that is already in the fridge.
LOL, sick people can be funny! Next time he gets mad at you about something you should play it back on his answering machine.
I was hoping for this kind of a relationship with my ex. I put up with a lot of crap from him in the beginning hoping that when the anger and hurt went away that we could and would. Just didn’t happen tho.
You are an amazing woman…I hope you feel better soon!
