Re-Insurance

It feels like lately J-Fed and I have been spending a lot of quality time together. Yes, it's all in the name of co-parenting. Between doctor's appointments and dance lessons, I feel like I'm seeing him more now than I actually did when we were married... which isn't saying much. Ironically, we have actually been getting along. That part isn't that much of a surprise.

You see, for the most part, J-Fed and I got on pretty well. In fact, we mainly only had one point of contention while married and divorced, that being, the other woman (T.O.W.). And these days, he hasn't mentioned her much... and I've tried to erase her from my mind.

So it's actually been all good. J-Fed cracks me up though. You see, I've never met a person who hates to be alone more than J-Fed. Even after our worst fight, post-divorce, he'd look
me dead in the eye and ask me if I'd like to go grab some sushi. This, after calling me a stupid bitch and telling me I'm worthless. In one way, I found his resilience impressive. In another breath, I found it completely mind-boggling. Unless his plan was to sprinkle my Mexican roll with arsenic when I wasn't looking, I couldn't understand why in God's name he'd want to dine with me.

Some people couldn't stomach the notion of sleeping alone; J-Fed couldn't handle the idea of eating solo. Different strokes for different folks. This week he seemed to be more in need of company. On Monday, he asked me if I wanted to grab something to eat. Tuesday, he brought his food over to my mother's house to catch some time with the kids. Wednesday night... would I like to grab some Mexican? In a way, it was kind of humorous, especially
when you consider that I couldn't pay him to eat with me when we were married.

Anyways, it was while feeding 2-year-old daughter a piece of pizza that the issue of life insurance came up. While I have enough coverage to care for my daughters in the event I break on through to the other side, J-Fed has nil, none, nada, nunca. That's right. He doesn't have a lick of life insurance. In fact, it would be a miracle if he still had health insurance.
