and last night it finally did. First, let me say that I have not had to deal with DH's ex in since we were supposed to go to Six Flags with them and I said hell no.
So yesterday evening E (DH's best friend who is dating the ex) called me and said they were going to dinner and he would really like it if DH and I joined them. Well, I've had a few weeks to cool off so I said OK.
Now first off, she chose the restaraunt. It was a steakhouse. I'm a vegetarian. No big deal at all. I just ordered a salad and a baked sweet potato and it was SO GOOD! It was not a restaraunt I would have chosen, but I didn't complain, I just made the most of it and ended up with a delicious dinner anyway.
SHE, on the other hand, proceeded to whine about EVERYTHING! The waiter took to long, the food was too this and not enough of that. She sent her steak back THREE TIMES. Now, I understand sending it back if there is something wrong with it. I've been known to send something back myself. But there is a polite way of doing it. She was just doing it to be a pain in the ass and it was obvious.
By this time we've been there about 30 minutes and I've had about 3 drinks. Basically every time she opened her mouth and started irritating me, I would order a drink.
Finally she whined one time too many about her steak and I opened my mouth. I told her, "Look, will you just shut the f (only I said the word) up? YOU are the one who was talking about how good this place is in the car. YOU are the one who just HAD to come here - knowing that Mike and I don't even eat steak, which I am pretty sure is the only reason you wanted to come here anyway. It was still YOUR choice and all you have done since we got here is bitch and complain about every little thing. It's irritating as piss so just shut up already!"
After she picked her jaw up off the floor she popped off some little comment about me just being jealous.
So I said, "Of what? You honestly think I am jealous of an alcoholic, immature little girl who is hell bent on making herself and everyone around her as miserable as she possibly can? You know what, if that is the kind of woman Mike wants then he is more than welcome to come right back to you anytime, because he is damn sure with the wrong woman for that!"
We paid the bill and left shortly after that. Imagine that - lol
I would like to say, in my defense, that even though I told her off, I never once raised my voice. Up until last night I have done everything I could to deal with her, make the most of the fact that her and E are together and she is going to be around. I have tried to handle the whole thing with class and grace - until last night when I just couldn't take it anymore. Even then I tried to just have a couple drinks and get through the meal.
I don't think she likes me. I think she really hates me now that both Mike and E defended me last night. Oh well.
I was even nice and told her I truly hoped she got the psychiatric help that she so obviously needs.
I am not, in any way, proud of my behavior, but she had it coming. She really did.
