I hang up on ex 4 times! Yep, that's right 4 times in less than 30 minutes. [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>ANNA

WOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!<p>You go, girl!

[img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img] Geez anna, why did you keep picking it up when he rang back? [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I would have stopped answering as well. [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img]

Yeah, good point!<p>I take the phone off the hook after hanging up on stbx! NOT that it ias happened lately, since i do not talk to him in the FIRST place!<p>LOL...now tell us Anna, it was for the sheer pleasure of hanging up on him again, and again, huh??? [img]images/icons/tongue.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Love and light, girl!

Anne,<p>I was at work and because there's no caller ID I had to take the call. Also, my boss does not believe in voice mail.<p>Jacky, <p>He called because I had called his work and asked if they have received information regarding taking out child support. I did this a couple of weeks ago and he just found out about it. The child support division told me that I should call his work and talk to the payroll dept. and see if they got the papers.<p>The first time he called the first sentence out of his mouth was "What gives you the right to call my work and harrass them?" CLICK! I hung up immediately. That just wasn't a true statement.<p>Then he'd call back, and each time he'd say something false or cuss and I'd hang up. Then he'd call back and so "Let's call a truce" I'd say "Okay, and it was not my intention to get you in trouble, it was only my intention to see if they received the papers sent to them" and then he'd try to be nice but he couldn't so as soon as he said something with disrespect I'd hang up again.<p>At one point he said, "Well if you didn't go sticking your nose where it didn't belong in my busines..." CLICK! I hung up.<p>What part of the child support he owes to me and was late on was not my business? [img]images/icons/confused.gif" border="0[/img] <p>I told him, if you wouldn't be late there wouldn't have been a problem. [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Well, I had delight in knowing that he was not getting away with it.<p>Thanks all,<p>ANNA

I don't have caller ID so I let the answering machine pick up, and then I decide whether I need to talk to that person. ;}

A month or so ago, my ex and I got into an argument reguarding tax exemptions and the kids. She finally told me to go home and not talk to her until I lost my attitude.<p>So I went home and didn't talk to her. She called about 15 times wanting to talk to me and I let the answering machine pick up every time. Finally, the next day at work she called and the receptionist put the call through. By that time I figured I couldn't avoid her any longer, so we talked.<p>Her first question was, "Why didn't you answer the phone?"<p>My answer was, "Because I still haven't lost my attitude."<p>The conversation when downhill from there. She makes the rules, so she can break them whenever she wants. Oh well.

My boss doesn't believe in it.<p>At home, I do just that, the answering machine picks up and he knows it, so that's why he calls me at work.<p>Take care,<p>ANNA

The best part was her being mad at me for not talking to her, even though she told me not to until I lost my attitude. Either way, I was in trouble. I still don't understand how that works out. I guess being a man, I just don't know anything. Are all women like this?? Maybe I'll start a thread about how men can stay out of trouble in their relationship.

<strong>Are all women like this?? .</strong><hr></blockquote><p>Nope IG, not all women are like this. If I tell x to calm down before he calls again, then I wait until he calms down and calls again. I never call him back. Just like the times I hung up on him. I didn't call him once and after the last time I didn't call him and he didn't call me. Today I saw him and there was no mention of the conversation. I also acted nice towards him and gave him the kids swim times and so forth. There are some things that are just best dropped.<p>Take care,<p>ANNA

Good for you Anna, stick to those Boundaries..and don't let him talk to you with disrespect!!!<p>He'll eventually learn..if he doesn't..he'll continually be hung up on [img]images/icons/smile.gif" border="0[/img]

Anna,<p>Glad to hear that. I was a little worried that all women were the same, lol. I know you all have "the look" though, which is to be avoided as much as possible. This kind of ties in with your thread on EN about women always being right. This relationship thing is really hard work. I need to get back to the gym to improve my strength and stamina, lol.

Wow! Anna, I'm impressed> [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] 4 times in 30 minutes!<p>You are right that, many times, it's best not to bring it up. I wonder if my x has permanent bruises for kicking himself over how he talks to me.

Cinderella,<p>You know he doesn't, he's mad at you for the way YOU talk to HIM, lol.

I gave up on answering the phone when H is in a "mood" - thank goodness for caller ID. But last Friday night I did answer and after we got off he called back mad, started cussing, so I hung up. He then called 6 times in a row and left two horrible messages on voicemail. Thank goodness for voicemail! Will they ever learn?<p>Llama

NOPE!<p>My x has been gone from the house for 7 years and he's still often ugly to me. I still get to lay the phone down and walk off. Or hang up. Or, one day, when he's on the front porch yelling, I think I will call the police for the fun of it.

JE, make sure you have the video running when the police come, it make a great father's day gift [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img]

Well jeepers Cinderella, it's about time! I thought everyone was gonna respond but the one I wrote it to. [img]images/icons/grin.gif" border="0[/img] <p>Have you been out having fun?<p>Oh, I like the idea of video taping when the police comes as a father's day gift. Sheesh that sounds so baddddd.<p>ANNA
