It has been a while since I posted, and the truth is there really has not been much to write about. CL still has not found a job, and AJ has been quietly trying to convince me to leave the car with him a little longer. I can understand why she feels that way, she wants to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the agreement was very clear from the start. I spoke with her today and told her that tomorrow I am going to get the car back.
She is not very happy with him either, especially since he was only supposed to use the car for very specific reasons. The rules were simple: groceries, department stores, and job interviews. Instead, he continues to use it for everything else, driving people around, running them places, and going out to fast food restaurants. None of this was part of the deal. It is a complete violation of the agreement we made when I trusted him with the car.
What makes this harder is that I went into this hoping it would be a chance for him to step up, prove himself responsible, and show that he could handle more. Instead, it feels like he is showing me the same pattern I have seen before. I do not like being in this position, but at the same time, I know I cannot let it slide. If I do, it only tells him that the rules do not matter.
