Tammy was crying, “Kevin, I’m sorry. I was looking for something new and got caught up in the excitement. Please can we just forget all this. I see how wrong I was to force you into this.”
“You wanted excitement; I’m going to give it to you. This is going to be so exciting; going to divorce court. It’s going to be so exciting for you to tell your family what a slut you have turned into. Finally, it’s going to be so exciting for you to have to sell your business to pay me off. Look at all this excitement you’re going to have.”
Tammy continued to argue with me that she was sorry and didn’t mean for this to turn out this way. She had been crying for over an hour when someone started pounding on the front door. With the loud pounding, I was pretty sure I knew who was at the door. I grabbed my .45 before going to the door.
As I got to the door a voice yelled through the door, “Open the door you son-of-bitch.”
I backed away from the door pulling out my phone dialing 911. “Yes, I need the police to respond to my residence immediately. My wife’s boyfriend is at the door threatening me. . . I don’t know if he is armed, but I am. If he comes through the door, I’m going to shoot him to protect myself.”
I put the phone down leaving it still connected to 911. “Steve, get away from my door. I’ve called the police and they are on their way.”
Steve was banging on the door harder now. The loud booms made clear he was trying break-in. “I’m going to kill you mother fucker.” I was tempted to unlock the deadbolt to let him break in and shoot him. Before I could do that, I heard the sirens coming down the street.
Through the door, I could hear the police yelling at Steve to show his hands and step away from the door. When he didn’t cooperate, I heard one of the officers announce, “Taser deployed.”
We found out later that Steve’s wife lost it when she got my email running to her father. Her father lived next door so he was there waiting when Steve drove up. Steve was barely able to escape with his life before he drove back to my door. I noticed large dents in the side of his car after he was arrested. They looked like baseball bat dents. Too bad his father in law didn’t catch him before tried to break into our house with a gun, might have saved him jail time.
The incident with Steve helped me get a restraining order against Steve, though I wouldn’t need it till he got out of jail. I threatened Tammy with a restraining order if she didn’t move out. I knew that no judge would grant it but she didn’t. Tammy moved in with her parents kicking and screaming the whole time. She kept wanting to talk saying that she didn’t want a divorce.
Tammy got a lawyer who insisted on a face to face meeting to work out the details of the divorce. Mrs. Stone told me to be ready for her to attack everything in the divorce petition as the lawyer she hired was, in Mrs. Stone’s words was, a “real scum bag.” While he would talk loudly, she said he wasn’t very bright. I was not to let him intimidate me.
As expected, Tammy and her lawyer tried to talk me out of the divorce. She tried acting all sweet and innocent. “Honey, this was all a big mistake. I thought this would enhance our marriage. You have to believe me that Steve and I never had sex. I didn’t cheat on you.”
