When had it started? When had she pulled away so completely? And why do I feel this void, like I’m standing at the door to the abyss?
HOMEWRECKING SKANK
I’m so mad I feel like my body is going to explode. As soon as we got back to the house, I pulled off my clothes, the new outfit I’d just bought, and threw myself down on the bed to have a good cry. Doug didn’t even come to check on me, so after fifteen minutes, I went out to see what he was doing.
He was playing around on his phone at a time like this, and that just pissed me off even more. How could he not know what I was feeling? “Aren’t you mad?” He almost jumped out of his skin at the sound of my voice and put his phone away.
“Mad about what?”
“Doesn’t the court say something about her having to be there for the handoff?”
“I don’t recall seeing anything about that, and besides, it was one time, so what’s the big deal?” I stomped off to the kitchen because he wasn’t getting it.
He disappeared into the room that he’d turned into an office, which was perfect because I needed some alone time. I got on my computer and sat up in bed facing the door, so I would know if he was coming.
I scrolled through her social media, something I do every once in a while just because I could. She hadn’t really posted anything much lately, but there were pictures from the party the day before. I felt that same adrenaline rush I get whenever I’m about to take a peek into her life without her knowing.
Everyone was there, the family that was supposed to be mine by now. His parents and siblings were beaming in all the pictures, and so was she. I’d never really looked at her before in the past, except to compare our bodies, but now I noticed that she had lost the baby fat.
When I first met him, she was just coming off of having their son, and then she got pregnant not long after, so I’m accustomed to seeing that either post-baby or pre-baby, but she didn’t look like that now.
I scoured all the pictures to see if she and Doug stood close to each other in any of them, but they never did. My eyes kept coming back to her smile. What the fuck did she have to be so happy about?
In all the pictures, only Doug looks unhappy. He was probably mad because I wasn’t invited. I kept scrolling backward and realized she had removed the pictures of their weddings and everything else that did not include their kids. Good! It bothers me immensely to see them at a happier time.
Still, she needs to remove those pictures of him and their son because she’s giving people the wrong impression. She doesn’t allow us to post pictures on social media with Kevin. She claims it wasn’t her that got the ones we put up removed, and Doug’s sister even took the blame for her, but I know it was her, the vindictive bitch.
On the other hand, I know she doesn’t follow either of us, not even from a dummy account, because I have my ways of knowing who visits my page, but she could’ve easily heard it from someone else and acted.
I told Doug to ask her about it, and she claimed that, as the father, he was within his rights to do it, so why did she have them removed? It’s because she felt threatened by me, of course, and that’s exactly what I told Doug at the time.
Why does she get to post pictures with Doug in them on her page when we can’t do the same? Why is everyone being so unfair? Jacob didn’t even acknowledge my presence. We were cool when he thought I was just someone Doug worked with, but as soon as he learned about the affair, he’d turned cold and distant.
Even the few friends who had hung around for a little while after had distanced themselves, most of whom were at the party. Everyone acts like she’s a saint, but I know she’s behind it all. She’s out to ruin my life to the point that even some of our coworkers have changed toward us. And it’s all her doing.
She has to play the victim; oh, woe is me. Everyone is always saying how brave she is and how graceful she handled everything. I guess some of them found out about the messages and NSFW pictures I’d sent her during the divorce and were holding that against me.
To this day, I’m not even sure why I did it, I guess I wanted to get a rise out of the cold bitch, but even then, she didn’t even react, and I don’t think she ever told Doug because he never brought it up to me.
