I have to put some of my four years of high school Latin to use since I never did pursue that law degree.
So, here is the funny/crazy story du jour:
The wife got a new cell phone. She is keeping her old one as well. The reason she got her own is so that she can be independent and have her own number and such. She gave me the bill last night and asked me if I would pay it.
I'm going to write all of these down and perhaps write a book. The working title is "A view from beyond reason".
Please do not take this the wrong way. I have a problem saying no (especially to people I care about). Have you considered telling her (nicely of course) to ask her boyfriend to pay for the phone etc.
I don't think they are anywhere close enough for him to pay for anything. I could be wrong.
In reality she is entitled to half of everything I have legally. She doesn't want it because she wants to be "independent" but she keeps doing these goofy things that fly in the face of that.
Let me ask you a question.....maybe you have answered it already. Why don't you take advantage of your wife's current "mental state" to sign some type of agreement. I am not suggesting you take advantage of her, however, it seems to me (from what I have read) that you have a much better chance of your W coming back to who she was if you tighten the screw a little (actually alot). This is what I am wretling with myself. How long can I continue with (nice john210) status quo....with no real results. It may be time for a serious move.
Thought about it and talked to the lawyer. My option would be to file and get her to sign the divorce papers without documented support and not settlement. Any lawyer in their right mind won't let her sign those. I feel it could turn ugly and its the last thing I want.
