just watched a movie with w.. earlier we looked over all the protein bars i bought... i told her a girl at work gave me a box of bars, she replies "a girl did?"
I didn't reply ..(the lady is not my type , not even close, i explained to W.. lol)
so today w' sister wasnts me to help her with her resume, last time i agreed to that i got served! I agreed, i told her she has a small window but i might be ablke to get her a job in my field (well in my company anyways)..i guess it doesn;t hurt to be nice...
well the market is the worst here since the mid 90's .. our home has been on the market for 2 weeks and not even a sniff..
Not sure where you are sawks, but our house was on the market for 10 months! Finally got an offer this month. We lowered the price once and were about to lower again when we got the offer.
Are you wanting it to sell or do think it will buy you time with her if it doesn't sell quickly?

Again I apologize if i sounded too sarcastic in my last post.
We are in Western Canada, the market here was sizzling in 2006, they couldn't even out the for sale signs up quick enough
The market is self correcting now.
As for your other question: well it was our dream home that we built & designed together..i really don't think without losing upwards of 100K, that it will sell.. the market is selling small townhomes and condos, just not large homes.
I have looked believe me i have, and i found the perfect bachelor pad not far away...
But lately we get along so well, i wonder if this drags on and no progress is ever made, if i will be back to square one again. I like the idea of "buying time" in one aspect, in another i don't.
I don't know if W has made the actual connection with "seperation" yet.. remember she did get angry that i started my own account, and contribute a set amount to our joint now, instead of my full cheques.
Is the house something you would want to keep or be able to keep on your own? Just until the market gets better?

I don't think it hits them that they are going to have to do things on their own. It takes a while for reality to set in.
When I told my H that he would have to get his car in his name only, take over the insurance, and contribute to the mortgage until the house was sold he got angry and told me I was being spiteful. Right. I'm spiteful because I won't pay for his car and insurance.

It's a possibility, that decision will be made in the future. If we start to see we will lose on it, we'll get it figured out. However the mortgage is big and i am not 100% sure i want to bear that. I can afford it, she cannot (on my own vs on her own)

W said " why did you have to open your own account, you make way more money than me, you just don't want me to see what your spending your money on" ---
She also just assumed, and went and put the truck in her own name, changed the registration, put a "radio sticker" on it.. and drives it all the time. She expects me to ask for it, even though we both own it.. I just let it go. The insurance comes out of our joint account, in which we both contribute. Our cell phone plan is in her name, and i have debated on changing that, so i get a seperate plan, but i don't want to start a fight.

No, she hasn't. Because you still live together. And I'm surprised she's OK with that, but it's a good thing.
I wouldn't rush the "splitting things up" stage, like the truck. Somehow you'll have to decide who gets it, etc. That was the most painful part of all this for me. I have no idea about Canada, but here in Texas the name it's in doesn't matter. All property acquired during the marriage gets split.
Me: 30 W: 28 T 8, M 6 S: 7-27-2007 W filed (again) 3-2011 Served 8-2011 Responded, now dark "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear" MLK
