Vince called me again today asking if we could talk. I wasn’t in the mood to talk to anyone nor in the mood to deal with him. He’d literally gotten on. Every. Damn. Nerve. Again. I caved in and invited him over; just in case I wanted to kick him out.
We got off the phone and I called down to security to let them know that Vince was on his way over to visit me and that it’s ok. Julian - my favorite security guy - was quite surprised but thanked me for giving him and his team a heads up. I was surprised at myself because I had a moment of weakness. I knew deep down that no matter the result of the day, I’d still love Vince to a certain extent.
I heard the elevator ring as it came to my floor so I went over to my door and opened it. Vince was a little surprised that I was already at the door but immediately smiled; it was clear that not only was he happy that I agreed to meet with him but he wanted to come over to try to win me over.
I invited him but didn’t offer him a seat nor a beverage. Didn’t want him to linger any more than he had to.
“You’re here. What’s up? What was so damn important that you desperately needed to talk to me?” I asked him.
“Well,” Vince began. “I wanted to talk to you face to face more in depth about everything. I promise that I did everything I could on my end to end it with Barbara; I don’t think she wanted the relationship to end as she kept coming over uninvited. It got to the point that I was in the process of filing a restraining order against her and prevent her from showing up and also prevent her from contacting me. I typically don’t leave my phone unlocked in her presence but unfortunately I did that day. I have ZERO excuses. She had come over and I had hoped that she’d finally see and understand that I didn’t want to be with her anymore and that I wanted - and still want to - to be with you.”
“So. You had to interrupt MY peaceful day to pretty much give me excuses why you were still seeing her at the same time as you were seeing me? Like y’all couldn’t have ended at least two WEEKS before you and I got back together? Wow. What a waste of a perfect day and my time! And by the way - it does NOT take as long as you claim to get a restraining order. The court system takes information from both parties, investigates it and responds in a reasonable time. Vince, you must think that I am some special kind of stupid to believe any of this shit. You’re trying to tell me that you’d been trying for weeks - if not, months - to get a restraining order. Sweetie. It doesn’t take that long. Depending on the information brought forth from both parties, the investigating and the judge’s decision….it typically takes a matter of a couple of days to 10 business days. According to YOU….you’d been trying for months. I call complete and utter bull shit on you, your lies and your poor excuses!”
Vince just stood there, looking dumbfounded that I actually called him out on his BS. He shrugged his shoulders. I couldn’t believe he wanted to try to convince me that his lies were the truth.
“Tell me the honest to fuck truth here, Vince. You provided me - in a nutshell - an engagement ring and agreed with me that we didn’t need to be married before you were either days away from getting married or already married to Barbara,” I said. I was expecting more lies, of course, IF he did tell then truth, I still wouldn’t believe him.
“That is true. Everything you’ve been saying is true. I was two timing the both of you. I thought I loved the both of you and wanted keep you both. Barbara and I did get married about a week before the cottage outing with you and your friends. I told her that I was heading to a Latin American country for a long weekend by myself as I’d scheduled it in advance and I couldn’t cancel it and couldn’t get my money back - didn’t want to waste the money. Unfortunately, my marriage to her has made me miserable; I lost the true love of my life - you - and I’m stuck in an unhappy and unhealthy marriage. She knows that I don’t love her - not anymore - and she’s refusing to sign the divorce papers. Even on the off chance that she actually does sign the papers, I still don’t have you. I’ve lost you forever!”
“No shit, Sherlock! You could’ve had a relationship with me but you thought with your penis and thought you’d get away with two timing two separate women. One - myself - you’ve lost; the other you’ll be with for a long time…..she’s not going to sign the divorce papers. Vince, I’ve lost all love and respect for you. I don’t want to talk to you any more. Lose my name, number and address. You’ve lost the chance to be a part of my life. You are not allowed to be in contact with anyone in my family again. I hope you spend a long time regretting losing me and that you consider you’re future actions,” I said.
He promised me that he would but I don’t trust him. When he left, I called all the credit card companies, stores and my insurance company to take him off my emergency contact and had his privileges revoked. Took a bit to be taken care of but it’ll be one less thing to do.
