So, she and I ended up yelling at each other about the dog, over IM. This took place Thursday night.
(11:10:58 PM) Me: So, what’s up with [the dog]? Jody mentions offhand that you are making noises about taking him back, and then David is asking me about buddy living there with him, permanent-like?
(11:10:59 PM) Her: (Autoreply) not with a whisper, but with a bang.
(11:13:22 PM) Her: I was going to ask you the same thing.
(11:13:32 PM) Her: mom can’t take him to her new place
(11:13:37 PM) Her: I can’t take him at my current place.
(11:13:40 PM) Her: my sister can’t take him
(11:14:02 PM) Her: smalley said he could take him temporarily.
(11:14:11 PM) Her: at least until I find someplace for him
(11:16:55 PM) Her: are you able/willing to take him?
(11:17:04 PM) Her: ’cause I was under the impression that was a strong no.
(11:17:10 PM) Her: which is why mom has him now.
(11:18:13 PM) Me: You didn’t bother asking. I had no idea that she couldn’t take him. No one told me shit.
(11:21:44 PM) Her: So, you wanna take him?
(11:23:29 PM) Me: I don’t know that I can.
(11:23:34 PM) Her: why not?
(11:23:36 PM) Me: I may be able to in the near future, though.
(11:23:51 PM) Me: Because it’s a 3rd floor apartment.
(11:23:58 PM) Her: so?
(11:24:12 PM) Me: You get yes or no from me, you don’t get reasons from me.
(11:24:34 PM) Her: way to take the child route.
(11:24:45 PM) Me: I could say the same about you.
(11:25:22 PM) Her: seriously? because I’m asking for an explanation, I’m a child?
(11:25:38 PM) Me: No.
(11:26:05 PM) Her: because I didn’t call you about buddy, and relied on what my mother told me about you being unwilling to take him?
(11:26:22 PM) Her: or is asking for explanation about why I’m a child too much too?
(11:26:41 PM) Me: Have you cleaned out the fridge? Removed your things from the house? Filed?
(11:28:56 PM) Her: it’s very convenient for you to be able to put the blame for all that shit on me. all you’ve had to do was sit back and watch me not do the shit, ’cause I’m fucking good at avoiding things (which I learned ohsowell from you). it’s awesome to me that you can ignore me when you want, and attack me when you want, and you get the fucking moral high ground all the time.
(11:29:24 PM) Me: You said you would do these things.
(11:29:36 PM) Me: That’s the only reason I blame you for not doing them.
(11:29:53 PM) Me: I have no need to attack you. I just want you out of my life.
(11:30:18 PM) Her: and I only wanted you to love me for who I was, and not who you thought I should be.
(11:30:26 PM) Her: guess that makes us even.
(11:30:32 PM) Her has left the conversation.
