Cover me

[DallasSteve2]

To the list:

My ex-Colombiana (who is now on Latin-Euro.com) called me again this morning.  She was in a rage.  It seems that she found my post here where I said that she had danced topless and worked in a nude modelling studio.  She threatened to sue me and cause problems with my wife if I do it again.  She would like me to tell you that what I wrote was not true.

But I won't.  I'm a Texan.  If she wants war, war she can have.

Steve,
Man, it sure seems like you are still hung up on that woman.  I know you will say you're not, but it sure seems like it from the volume of posts that involve her.

I swear you post just as much, if not more, about her than you do your current wife.

Leave that b%tch in the dust and get on with your life.

Good luck,
Mike

This is only my opinion but I think you'd be better off not having any contact with your ex wife if at all possible.  I don't see much benefit from it really.  It seems to be a point of frustation for you and I'm guessing your new wife would be happy for the ex to be gone from both your lives.

If you have a child with the ex, that's obviously a different situation but if you don't, consider changing all your phone numbers and steering clear of her.

James,
Good thoughts but Steves ex sounds like the type who would show up on his door step if she needed something.He would have to move to.If he hadn't gotten married again she would probably be coming over trying to trade sex for favors.

Possibly Pete, but even then I just wouldn't answer the door.  I would avoid conflict and drama at all costs, not only for my own sanity but more importantly for my wife. Many ex's cause grief to the extent that they're given an audience to do so.

You've both made good points.  

When we split up I moved and changed my phone number.  She kept calling me at work and she told me where I moved to.  It almost seemed like I had left her and she was stalking me.  

But I don't think she really wants me.  She just wants me to want her.  There's never been a man in her life that didn't run to her when she beckoned.  I think she wants to keep that record in tact, but she can't.

Steve,

   You claim "there has never been a man in her life that did'nt run to her when she beckoned".
   Well, I think you may be overestimating her. If that were fact,she would have found a man to marry and give her a green card already.  She would not have to strip or take nudie shots because she would find a man to finance her every whim. She would not need to call you to have her income tax taken care of.  She would be living in a mansion right now with the gringo of her choice.

   I have known women who get men at their beck and call,and believe me, they have too many men at their beck and call to bother with someone who cannot do for them.

  I think your ex cannot real in the big fish she thought she could. she is great for a good time, but in the long run any man with something to offer can see right through her.  

  Again, if she were the pied piper of all men,she would certainly not need you or any agency.

Glad you see it that way, Steve. And DON'T let her harrass your wife...tell her to go jump off the roof.

Hey, just thought of something...reckon in your Sherlock Holmes post it could have been your X spying on you or trying to scare your wife?

No, it wasn't her.  I caught a glimpse of the person as they went over the patio rail and it was a man.

tell her, go ahead and try to sue you, because if its true, and she did work in those places, you can say what you want about her, and she cant do a thing about it. she would have to spend a lot of money trying to do it also. next time, record the conversation so you can prove she threatened you and your wife. if she does it again, file a restraining order against her.

Truth is an absolute defense to defamation.

I wanted to pipe in and add that truth may win out as an absolute defense to defamation, but it isn't a protection against being sued.  Anyone can sue anyone for just about any reason.  And being sued and defending yourself can cost money even if you win.

Now this probably isn't relative to this situation because I doubt Steve's ex has any money to pursue a lawsuit, but someone with deeper pockets could.

I recently read about a fellow on a message board who posted his honest experience with an online vendor, the vendor sued him for slander and the the poster settled for something like $5000, even though he just told his true story of a negative experience with the vendor.  But the vendor was also a lawyer and a jerk and was willing to spend a lot of money to pursue the case and the poster, though in his legal right to say what he said, settled rather than face the legal costs of defending himself.
