It was mid may, lockdown was starting to be released, very slowly.
Andy heard the golf courses were now allowing 2 people to book a round of golf.
He had been climbing the walls cos he missed his golf, so he booked a round.
————— my birthday is May 22nd ————-
I was driving to work on the Wednesday evening (I was on the 17.30-22.00 shift that week)
I’ve called him just to say hi how’s ur day been blah blah blah, he seemed so excited, Zoe I gotta tell you something, ok babes calm down what is it, I’ve managed to book a game of golf, fabulous, when, and then he dropped the bomb shell
4pm FRIDAY 22 MAY
WTF was my response, that’s my birthday and u would rather play a game of golf that u haven’t been able to play for months than spent it with me, can’t u book it for Saturday instead, NOPE !!
And he hung up.
For the next 2 days he wouldn’t answer my texts or phone calls.
So Friday morning my birthday, I get up walk into the lounge, no card, no present, nothing, he still won’t answer my calls or texts.
My son drove over to pick me up and took me to my mums so I could have a birthday drink with her obviously in the garden with social distancing.
It was the strangest birthday, I couldn’t hug my mum, she couldn’t give a kiss....strange.
My son then took me back to my house so I could see the other 2 kids (my daughter and youngest son) again no hugs or kisses.
He had to go to work that afternoon, so he dropped me back at Andys flat about 3 pm, I sat totally alone drinking gin and tonic until just after 8pm.
Andy walks in the flat, guess you want to know why I’ve been ignoring your calls and texts, well yes I would. I will not be told when I can play golf by any woman, he said. I took that for 5yrs with the ex I will not take it from you.
Well you can play golf 52 fucking weeks a yr, I don’t care, but I made an effort to make your birthday special in lockdown thought u might of done the same for me, obviously I mean that little to you.
I think we need a break from each other he said, fine I’ll move back home tomorrow, back with my kids. So I packed all my clothes up and took everything out of his bedroom and walked back in the lounge and announced there u go your bedroom is now Zoe free.
The following day I moved out.
I was dumped on my birthday.
