Hi Flicka,

Thank you! H is stereotypical - hilarious? Well, if I didn't laugh I'd cry and I've cried plenty.

Yes indeed, I was very inclined to inhibit the D. I mean, I'm here aren't I? But I may very well have reached the 'enough is enough' stage. H is out of a job, has moved in with OW, is out of money and is coming apart at the seams. What can I do about it? Nada.

I'm sure he yelled out loud when he discovered that I had to sign the form for him to take $ out of his retirement. He thought he was going to get an easy 7 grand with the snap of his fingers.

Now even more bad news. The house appraisal came yesterday and it's worth less than we owe.
We were counting on at least $30,000 in equity - but no, thanks to the economy, lack of updates, some foundation problems, and the sad country neighborhood we (I) live in.

Now do I really want to keep the house? I'm thinking NO WAY. I believe I'll ask for his retirement, all of it. That will give me plenty for a down payment on a new home closer to work, pay for moving expenses, help pay our joint credit, and make up for lost income.

H can have the house and declare bankruptcy like he's been threatening to do. Then he can go live happily ever after with the Catbitch. Meow
