AFG: you are incredible. You handled that unbelievably well. I don't think anyone on this forum could have given you better advice on what you could have done than what you actually did - much less do it themselves!

Don't sell yourself short. Sure, we're all human but see what strength you've found in yourself.

Down to brass tacks now I guess, making sure of where you stand financially and how you can best enforce his compliance with that.

As for your H, I would calmly pop a few of his fingers if I were there with you. That or nail a testicle to the table while Greek or someone punches him (gotta give him an incentive to take those punches like a man, that or lose a nut). Sorry, I just don't have anything positive to say about him.

Just to add another voice of support ...
