No we don't. We had worked one out before she moved out but then she wouldn't sign it. Then we were working something out but then I lost my job so we waited. Shortly after I started working again, I found out what she had really been doing so we hadn't talked - last Friday was the first time

So in short no and my lawyer is pissed at me about that.

We do have a verbal one - doesn't do me much good I know

I've been mulling it over, and after getting with Stronger, I'm going to go with:

"If I had cheated on you and then filed divorce and left, how would you feel about lending me money?"

And go from there.

If it get's heated/emotional, I do like what you wrote - considering the situation, I have decided to keep finances seperate. Or I would just hang up.

Part of me had thought that not doing it would piss her off and we're back to where we were but then I realized that that was dumb. If I have to be worried about walking on eggshells when I'm standing up for one of my N.U.T.s then I don't want to be in a relationship with that person.

So if this drives her away from any more remorse or what not, so be it. While renewing the marriage relationship is something that I really want, I just don't see anyway where I will be happy with it. The reality is that it would not make me feel right to lend her the money, so why should I do something that I do not feel right about....

Perhap's that's what I should say to her.
