Was it Jeff or Beverly?  Maybe I had left something at their place.<\/p>\n<p>Then I read the long message:<br \/>\n&#8220;I didn&#8217;t realize you were trying to get with people on some of these websites. All the way back in may and June. Great job u had me completly [sic] fooled I&#8217;m glad I know now that all your affairs I finally surfaced and just by reading your email that u had left this marriage years ago. Thanks for breaking my heart and balls for the last few years I appreciate that you are a lair and a cheater, it&#8217;s strange that u blame me because of your own guilt. Well I&#8217;ll keep reading and see what else you forgot to tell me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then a minute later as my inbox was full, I received another text:<br \/>\n&#8220;I don&#8217;t want to fight or argue I want to grab some things so at least I can be comfortable sleeping in my car,  or can you throw them out the door please&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>At first, I was worried.  Would this be a repeat of last year&#8217;s incident when a <a href=\"http:\/\/of.jennism.com\/?p=2279\">wife<\/a> called me accused me of sleeping with her husband, thinking that I was the other woman?  Last year, it had been amusing, but I came to my senses quickly wanting to spare the woman anguish.  Then there was the mike fernando incident (meeting someone randomly on the phone) and other various crazy situations.<\/p>\n<p>I immediately googled the number, wondering if I was being tricked.  A telemarketer?  Probably not.  The phone number was very close to mine, so it was likely someone from the East Contra Costa area.  I actually thought it was a woman&#8230;and thought about how I would respond.  So without much hesitation, I called back.  Mostly because I didn&#8217;t want text messages waking me up all night long.<\/p>\n<p>I heard a voice answer, &#8220;Hello?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Immediately, I was confused.  It sounded just like my dad and I was about to say something along those lines.  I stuttered for a moment as I tried to find the words to say something&#8230;I didn&#8217;t want to stay up too long.  &#8220;Uh well&#8230;I just received text messages from this number.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh&#8230;sorry&#8230;those meant for my wife.  She&#8217;s crazy&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh that&#8217;s ok.  I hope you were able to send the messages to the right person.  I hope you were able to resolve the issues&#8230;&#8221; I paused for an awkward moment.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No not really.  I have this scar on my head from the keys she threw against me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I winced and responded, &#8220;I hope things work out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Thanks, good night.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You too&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>UPDATE AT 12:48 AM<\/p>\n<p>I received another text (all this time I am somewhat angry that my inbox is filling up and hope this guy stops sending my texts)<br \/>\n&#8220;Whoever u are i apoligise [sic] for the text u were not supposed to get. I found out my &#8216;wife&#8217; was and is cheating on me with a 70year old man, and after she beat me in the head with some keys and after i  called the cops im the one that gets asked to leave and check out for the night. So she has a total of 3 affairs which were men all over the age of 60yrs old. So thanks for being a nice voice to hear for once today. I again thank u and have a great day in whatever u do tomorrow. Aaron&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Then another because one is just not enough:<br \/>\n&#8220;It must have been a money thing&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I am tempted to respond out of curiosity.  I was so tempted to play out the drama and poke my nose where it doesn&#8217;t belong.  I am curious, so horribly curious.  But then I realize how little sleep I have been getting the last few days and don&#8217;t want to bother myself with it.  So instead, unlike my former immaturity of my early twenties, I resist the temptation and close my phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Near midnight, I heard the ping sound on my phone indicating a new text message.
