That's what I have, mixed emotions.

I sold the house, not sure how I feel about it.

We aren't at contract yet, but should be soon.

On one hand I am happy because I just want to move on because I am tired of owning anything with the ex, I'm tired of trying to keep a house super clean for the market, and I am tired of having my privacy invaded by people coming to see it.

On the other hand, it's my house. I watched this house get built. I made incredible friends in the neighborhood, and my children love it here too. Plus I don't know where I am going to live. That's still in limbo.

Ex is being a pain in my arse but what else is knew.

He has been pushing me from day one to sell it. He even wouldn't get off my back when I took it off the market for a couple of weeks while I was looking into buying it.

Now that we got an offer he tells me we don't have to take it, he doesn't mind if the house stays on the market for a long time if I won't to hold out for more money.

What, did he win the lottery and forget to tell me?

The offer is in 5 percent of the asking price, so according to the divorce agreement we have to take it.

This is the same idiot who has been pressing me to sell it and now it's almost like he doesn't want me to sell it.

Another issue is that we never got a permit and a small property variance for our shed when we put it up. I have been telling him alll along that we needed to get one of we are going to sell the house. He kept saying, "no we don't, we'll get away with it".

So he goes and tells the realtor we don't have these permits so she had to go tell the buyers because we must disclose this.

She told us we had to get a permit for it and asked one of us to get the ball rolling on it. I told her I would have ex do it as it will run near a thousand dollars to do it.

Ex showed up at the bus stop and I asked him if he could get the ball rolling on getting the permit.

He was nasty and said "Nope, I ain't doing it".

Me: Why not?

ex: I'm not doing it?

Me: Why because you have to work? Don't give me that bs because you take off whenever you want these days to go and play.

ex: I'm not doing it. I don't care if the house sits on the market forever, I'm not doing it.

I finally just walked away. Now he doesn't care if the house sits on the market forever, but all along he has been pushing me to get is sold?

I cannot finacially do it. He still owes me money for copays that I have not gotten yet and he still hasn't taken out a life insurance policy that he was required to get. I refuse to go to my parents to pay for it, I already have them in a financial mess.

I have a call into my lawyer who is also going to be handling the sale. I'm just waiting for him to call me back.

He's a control freak!
