I've been divorced from my ex for 10 years and he's still punishing me for it. Just after I ordered this BMW, he began a suit to get full custody of my kids for "lack of communication". This is not the first time in 10 years he has tried something like this. He's had his lawyer on retainer for 10 years straight.

Just after I found out my Performance Driving Center date was October 25, his lawyer changed the Oct 12th deposition date to October 25. Crossed my mind that he might have done it on purpose (my kids knew the date). My lawyer told me no problem, she'd reject that date.

Tomorrow my husband and I are supposed to drive to Greenville for a delivery on October 25. Today my lawyer said my ex's lawyer told the judge he doesn't want to change the date, after all, we're just going out of town to pick up a "luxury car". The judge is making us keep the date.

What gets me is what does he think he gets out of this...we're still getting the car, we've already paid for it. He can't stand that I left him 10 years ago, that I am successful now, that I am married to a wonderful man.

Anyway, I'm calling the PDC tomorrow morning first thing. I know there's not much chance of getting to have the experience on Friday morning instead, but that's what I'm going to try for. Otherwise, we're still going to drive up after the deposition on Thursday and pick up the car on Friday, with or without the PDC day and we're still going to stay for the weekend in Asheville.

I'm just venting, a little depressed and to top it off, now I have to convince this lawyer that this wasn't just a whim of a date, it was pre -cheduled and hard to get.

Has anyone ever had to cancel last minute like this??

I don't know about PCD, but one of my best friends tells me about something similar to what you're going through. First, the terrible ex, then, I don't know why, but she wound up going out quite seriously with a Charlie Sheen type. The mega salary, the million dollar shore homeS, the McMansion, and the multiple women on the side.

Ok, here's my point--she's very bitter at this instant, and has been for nearly a year since Charlie Sheen broke up with her. Being a single mom, she's given up on romance and decided to raise her boy, turning down guys left and right who are asking her out constantly. So she's had two guys make her life hard, yet she lacks that "wonderful man" that you have. I hope she finds him, because we care about my friend so much that she is in our wedding party.

So your ex may be doing stuff to get under your skin, and even make things quite inconvenient for you. But in the end, he's not going to be able to take the car, your guy, or your kids away from you. Remember what you've got, and just think that this is a minor inconvenience. Good luck, and I'd like to see pics of the Atlantic Blue. It's my favorite color on the website....
