My estranged wife (we still live together) hates me with the fury of a thousand suns, and she has a couple of shrews she spends most of her time with. They are moms of my daughter’s friends.

Prior to our estrangement these same women had an uneventful sleepover with the kids at our house aka a mom’s night of drinking and shrewing.

Now that we are estranged (still in the same house) she is making an argument that I should plan a work trip over a weekend so my daughter can have a sleepover (as if it hasn’t happened before) without me around as the “moms are uncomfortable with you in the house for a sleepover.”

I said as soon as the “mom” as it’s really her sidekick shrew saying this to back my wife up, has her husband leave for a weekend for a sleepover, I’ll do it too.

A week later I get a screenshot of her friend shrew asking her husband on text if he would be comfortable with me being home during the sleepover and he said no.

This is a guy I thought was pretty cool and really liked hanging out with at kid family events. We got along great. I mean, wtf.

Anyway, I said great, then he can be the first to leave for a weekend and it died there. So now they are doing a hotel sleepover somewhere because I won’t leave first.
