It WAS working MrBond... he just had a backslide yesterday.
Rebuilding trust takes TIME.
You can't just dismiss the past because you WANT to dismiss it. IF his wife is HURT and ANGRY about something he DID DO then that needs respect and attention, not dismissals... waving a spouse off who's been sincerely hurt (and OIN has acknoweledged that) is NOT going to make OIN any more appealing right now.
OIN has acknoeldged controlling too much in the past, so maybe jsut let his wife have the command of the home for a while to give her some confidence and build some trust here. I have been ripped off monetarilly from people in the past and it does take TIME to rebuild that .. a few months is nothing.
