You all remember my assistant named MEA? Well, I would not blame you if you did not. I have also tried to wipe her out from my consciousness. Her repeated claims for disability and unemployment compensation when she never really worked in the first place have left me speechless. Like I've mentioned earlier in previous blog posts, she was a married woman with kids and decided to run off to Mexico with her English Loverboy.
Let's face it. All American women have fantasized about running off with Englishmen. At least I have had that fantasy LOL. Englishmen are just so.......irresistible!!!! Goodness gracious, there ought to be a law against Englishmen for being so darn HANDSOME. I GET THE ATTRACTION.
At any rate, back to the story at hand. MEA ran off to Mexico to be with her English Loverboy. I must admit there was an initial, but fleeting, twang of jealousy on my end when she left. How romantic to run off with a fresh romance at age 50+....... Especially with an Englishman. Sigh.
This is where fantasy clashes with reality.
Reality: MEA's husband was willing to work on their marriage. He knew it was in trouble. He also knew MEA had an English boyfriend and drove her to the San Francisco airport where he knew she was flying off to London meet with him. MEA's husband loved her enough to let her explore what she was feeling and would there upon her return home.
Long story short, MEA lied to her husband upon her return from frolicking with English Loverboy stating that she had gotten it out of her system and wanted to work on her marriage.
This is about the time where MEA decides to bail on her two daughters and husband here in Sonoma County and runs to Mexico to be with English Loverboy. Her departing words to me were pretty much of the ilk that she does not want anything from her marriage, i.e., money, items, house, or anything material that has been accumulated during their marriage. She just wanted OUT.
Wow... how things change.
I got a long text from MEA the other day. She was lamenting about how her soon-to-be-ex-husband has turned nasty in the divorce proceedings. MEA was angry that he purchased a house and other property prior to their split and how he was hiding money from her. Now MEA wants her cut. She is claiming that he purchased these properties and it was not in accordance to their divorce agreement. The husband was granted a huge promotion from his employer right after their separation. Now MEA wants to claim his now heightened income in the divorce as part of her alimony. MEA is claiming that he deferred his promotion to avoid paying alimony.
Well......MEA was hiding things from her husband as well. It sucks when the person you're trying to efffff over gets wise and plays the same game with you.
Things are not so rosy in Mexico with 'they-lived-happily-ever-after' fallacy we have all been fed when things change abruptly and we all want to trade in our spouse for anybody who does not leave the toilet seat up and the cap off the toothpaste. MEA and English Loverboy have had their fair share of horse manure....and then some.
Come to find out that English Loverboy could not take the stress of MEA's not-yet-compete-divorce and left their love nest in Mexico and retreated back to England.
English Loverboy has two divorces under his belt along with five kids. What he thought to be a cash-cow California girlfriend, MEA, has now proven to be more of a financial liability than an asset. He bailed.
Now MEA is all alone in Mexico. She wants to return to California but cannot afford it. She is also suffering from vertigo and claims she cannot work (or so she says). It's the age-old saying of be careful what you wish for. She got her dream lover and ran off to a foreign country.....and then it went sour in months.
Her soon-to-be-ex-husband has moved on without her, and so have her daughters. MEA truly is alone. Somehow, I just can't feel sorry for her. Look before you leap.
