I am slowly reading the "ebook" as painful as it is. It's funny how Batfish is so arrogant to think that just because she writes it, then people will believe it. Like a magickal keyboard...type it, "publish" it to a blog and it somehow becomes truth and actuality.
The beginning where she is going to tell us how she and Meri met...then is suddenly sidetracked on the bullshit of her growing up, then ha ha ha how she gets sidetracked so easily....but never goes back to say anything.
Page 57 of the MeriFesto is when Batfish is talking about those famous cryptic voicemails, and she even types them out for us. The "Why are you struggling? Babe, come ON" and then complaining her hair is the reason for not wanting to be intimate. Which is just weird because your hair kinda gets messed up in that process... She goes on and on for several voice mails whining over and over. They were sad to listen to back then, and sad to read.
However, Batfish insists that the voice mail followed their having "sex", with no real details past they were talking afterwards, "he" took offense to being compared to Kody and then "he" got pissed and left. As in...left her house, but there is no real description of the scene, it is left to assumption. She followed with I think three or four voicemails, but Batfish was so pissed off that "he" shut off his phone and didn't even listen to them until the following morning.
After realizing his mistake in the "misunderstanding" he listened to the messages and called her back to apologize and listen to her. They worked it out and talked about how to better communicate.
However...this is why you need an editor, even for the non-fiction fiction of this convoluted mess. Batfish then writes...." I was an ass for hanging up on her and I felt bad. She really didn't say anything wrong. I just heard it wrong and go upset. That was it. Big mystery finally solved." Should it have been phrased that "I stormed out after misunderstanding" not "hung up"????? That's what happens when you copy paste the crap from a blog and fill it in on the fly...you don't catch your own lies and mistakes.
If they had actually been together in the physical reality, had sex, had an argument and then he stomped off her voicemails would have been....""babe....why did you leave? you needed to stay so we could work this out..." In no way did she mention anything past her hair and intimacy....nothing about him storming out and ignoring her phone calls. Batfish likes to talk about how "his" vacation home is just 5 minutes from Meri's home...so NO mention of "I'm coming over there right now and we are going to work this out...." Just all that whining about "laying here with you is very vulnerable, especially with my hair looking like a mess." Hmm....that's phone sex. Taking selfies during an intimate bedroom intimacy and not wanting to share because your hair is a mess. Then....Batfish throwing a hissy fit because she didn't want to share with her hair a mess and hanging up the phone and ignoring the incoming calls.
Did either of them EVER graduate middle school!!??
I have a feeling that some of these voice mails were coerced in the fact that Batfish picks some wacko fight, hangs up...knowing that Meri will call back and plead, she does...leaves these voice mails and then Batfish can have Proof to use against her later in her scam.
One thing Meri mentioned on the "Tell-Nothing" was that after fighting with "Sam" on the phone, she would get a call from "Lindsay" telling her that she HAD to call Sam and she HAD to make things right. This actually makes a lot of sense with those horrible whiny voicemails that were pleading and really pathetic. It was just another game that a con plays to get real evidence to pile up and then use against their mark. Batfish is a small time pathetic con that has been outed globally. I agree with the above poster that stated that this is pure revenge and nothing else. There are/were no feelings, it was a game to get a specific result.
