Ex Husband and Hardware Part 2

I didn’t hear back from my ex yesterday. He never responded to my text about strap-ons so this morning I sent him another text asking if he got the last one. He had recently changed phone numbers so I thought maybe he didn’t have text messaging set up for the new phone.

Me: did you get my message?

Him: yesterday?

Me: yes, the one about the strap-on

no response for several minutes

Me: for the grill.

no response

Phone rings, it’s him.

Him: uh, I didn’t pick up anything, was I supposed to?

Me: No, I was double checking with you about the kind of hardware I need to pick up for the grill.

Him: Well, what did you get?

Me: I didn’t get anything because I didn’t know if I needed a strap-on or a double ended dildo. I was waiting for you to tell me what you wanted.

At this point I’m just playing with him. I know he is at work and within earshot of the guys, he’s a contractor. The thing is I can’t figure out if he remembers the original conversation or if he thinks I want to “play” with him. And I can’t tell if he is joking with me by playing dumb.

Him: maybe I should just get the stuff and come over and take care of it?

the call is dropped before I can say anything.

Stay tuned…

My ex husband has been helping me with some work at my house. Before he left yesterday I asked him if he could help me hook up my grill. The grill had originally been at the cabin but my brother and I played musical grills and I ended up with the cabin grill. At the cabin it was hooked up to the house rather than a small tank of propane.

Because of the change in hook up I needed a regulator which I purchased last fall when we switched around the grills. I couldn’t unscrew one of the connectors and had frankly forgotten about it until recently. I figured a big strong man like my ex could easily unscrew the connector and hook up the regulator. I probably could have done it myself but I really enjoy having him do these kinds of things and he seems to like being needed still.

Indeed he was able to remove the connector easily but the regulator had a different size fitting on it which I did not have. He told me to get a male connector with a female on the other end. I also needed a piece with two male ends. He said he would be happy to connect it if I got the right pieces. He started to explain what made them male or female. He noticed I had that look on my face that he saw whenever he was talking to me like I was an idiot.

I was heading off to the hardware store today and wanted to make sure I was getting the right pieces. I texted him this message.

“Heading off to the hardware store, I need to get a double ended dildo and a strap-on right?”

So far he has not replied to my text.
