Ex... (P1.3)

I knew it. 

All the signs were there.  This man flipped the script so fast!  We were just in love and planning on starting our business so we could really build something.  

Ex had enrolled in school and began classes.  Soon after, he started going out without me.  He was staying out really late.  At family events he sat in a corner with his face in his phone texting and smiling instead of talking with the guys.  I wasn't stupid.  I confronted him and he denied any wrong doing.  I waited up for him so many nights.  The bars closed at 2:00 am.  Sometimes he didn't make it home until 5 or 6.  He said he was at the "after hour."  I called him a liar.  I argued with him every day.  I bitched and yelled, and he wouldn't tell me the truth.  I tried talking and reasoning with him, but he wouldn't tell me the truth.  I had to find out on my own.  So I did. 

After only three months of marriage Ex was cheating on me.  He was cheating on me with a girl from North Philly named A.  She was 20 and she had two sons.  She also had a profile on Black Planet, Twitter and Facebook.  After she confirmed that they were seeing each other I went on Facebook and messaged every person listed as her family member, and every person with the same last name as her. I copied and pasted the same message over and over again.  It said that she was having a sexual relationship with a man more than ten years her age who was married and jobless with eight children.  I don't know if her father, mother or grandmother cared at all, but I was satisfied with putting it out there.  Even though I felt good after sending those messages, I knew that my real anger wasn't really towards A. I never contacted her again. 

I was really angry at Ex.  I wanted to kill him. 

I felt more betrayed than I had ever felt in my life.  Not Ex!  Not him.  How could he do this to me?  Why would he do this to me?  I did everything he asked of me.  We were best friends.  What the fuck happened!?  I was completely blindsided.  I hated him so much.

Everything unfolded the same weekend as our family's crab & seafood fest at the lake.  We argued the night before.  I barely got any sleep.  I was feeling so many different emotions.  My cousin and sister came past early to pick up the salads and some other items.  It was around 7 a.m. and this asshole Ex was just getting in.  I wasn't sure if they knew he had been out all night, or not.  I was so frustrated.  All I wanted to do was run up to my room and cry all day.  But I could not do that.  I had helped plan this event, and on top of that it was Little X's birthday and I needed to pick up the cake.  The kids were looking forward to this.  So I sucked it up, and pushed though the day trying to keep them from knowing how upset I was. 

When I look back at the pictures, there is one where I'm staring at him with such malice. My sister caught me off guard and you can see the anger written all over my face.  My hair wasn't done.  I did not look like myself.  When I look back at those photos I wish I would have talked to someone.

At the end of the night, we loaded our cars up and began dropping people off.  When we got home Little X was having an allergic reaction to shell fish.  Ex and I didn't know he was allergic and we had to quickly treat him with an antihistamine.  He was soon okay and after all of that commotion, we got the kids settled down. 

It had been a long day.  I was exhausted.  And now it was time to go to bed.  I didn't want to be anywhere near Ex.  I wanted to push him out the window, but I didn't.  I also didn't leave him.  It was complicated.  I think for you to truly understand, I have to take you back to the beginning...

Nine Easy to use Apps for Small Cash Advances

Photo by Yan Krukov   Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency. These should only be used every once in a while. If you are having problems getting from paycheck to paycheck, there is likely a bigger issue at hand. I recommend going over your income and expenses and watching your spending, or getting a second job. Click here for the budgeting app that I use and how it

How to Cheat without Getting Caught (What I've Learned from Men)

I remember being cheated on. I remember catching him red handed and listening as he denied the whole thing. I remember wondering if the other woman knew he was married. Odds are, she probably did. I didn't understand it and the truth is, I didn't need to. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. My ex was careless in his cheating. After my experience I began watching how men & women cheat. Cousins, friends, co-workers - it seems that everyone has a "Sneaky Link" or a "Secret Bae." And although the memes would have you thinking otherwise, it's not cute. But still, it's interesting. So here are some of the best tips I've learned on how to cheat without getting caught:  1. Let the person you are cheating with know that you are already married, or in a relationship. Have this conversation with the person from the beginning so they know their role, and so that you can establish boundaries. Be clear that you will not be leaving your spou

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

What to do when you're feeling confused. Photo by Felipe Cespedes Love is not a decision. Love is a feeling. The feeling is either there, or it isn't. You know from the beginning, because you feel it from the beginning. You also know if the feeling is mutual. However, what we do sometimes, is ignore the signs that tell us that despite how we feel about him, he doesn't feel the same way. We then kind of waste our own time believing that there is something there, that simply isn't. The truth is, if he loved you, you would know. There would be no confusion, and no doubt. If you find yourself in a situation where you are doubting where it's going and you're not sure if he's feels the same way about you, I recommend asking him directly, "Where is this going? Do you see us working out long term?" If he is unsure, or does not give you a direct answer, then you know what it is. You need to walk away from that situation. Before I get into why, I want to
