"Once again, I got to have a totally broke weekend. You think I&amp;#039;d be used to them by now! I didn&amp;#039;t receive some money I&amp;#039;d been counting on last Friday, payday at my day job is a week away and Peter&amp;#039;s support check wasn&amp;#039;t going to be to me until Monday (he has it set to auto-pay from his bank). I had to do something that I haven&amp;#039;t done once since Peter left. I had to ask him for money. We have a babysitter for the summer who sits with the kids after their day camp, and we pay her weekly. I had exactly $2.12 in my bank account, and no way to pay my half of her weekly salary until Monday. I emailed Peter, explained the situation, and he graciously agreed to pay for my half. He even turned down my offer to write him a check on Monday, telling me just to cover his half next week. It was really nice of him, and I was grateful. Saturday morning, my phone rang and it was Peter. He was at the grocery store, and he wanted to know if I needed him to get us anything. Did we have enough food? Did the kids need snack items or juice boxes for their lunches at camp? Luckily, I did a huge grocery shop last week before I paid out the rest of my bills, so we&amp;#039;re fine for food and I told him so. I thanked him again and hung up, but I held the phone and stared at it for a good long time. I find myself sounding like a broken record. Who is this guy? Just when I get used to contempt-filled, indifferent, inconsiderate Peter, this guy comes along. I&amp;#039;m not foolish enough to think he&amp;#039;ll stick around, but I must admit he&amp;#039;s a refreshing change. Did your ex bounce back and forth between nasty and nice? How did you handle it? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
